cover.

GROWING CELERY PLANTS.
Some Suggestions for Its Planting
and Cultivation.

Gardeners who grow it for the
ear Y demand usually SOW the seed
under glass in March or early April.
Cover the seed very tightly and keep
the weeds subdued. The plants should
be large enough to set in the open
ground in May, if the season is favor
able.
4 later crop may be sown in open
ground later in April or in May, to
be marketed from September to De
cember. Sow this in drills from two
to three feet apart. Sometimes set
lettuce or SOW early beets between
the rows of celery, but this is only
advisable when the land is rich and
holds moisture enough for both. The
celery should be large enough to
thin out and transplant in June or
July. Some prefer TO cut the tops of
the plants once or twice before trans
planting to make them more stocky
The weeds must be kept down at all
stages Of growth but as the roots are
wide-spreading, it should not be
worked deep.
For winter and spring use the seed
is seldom sown before day, and the
thinning and transplanting are not
done before July. If very hot when
this is done, standing boards along the
r8ws TO shade them on the south is
thought TO save more plants from
being injured by the sun than can be
saved by watering them, and is less
labor in most gardens. The boards
will be needed later on for blanching
These varieties are usually sown
four feet apart if they are to be
banched or partly blanched between
boards, and six feet apart if to be
blanched by banking with earth. A
common practice used to be to SOW
three or five rows of onions as early
as the ground could be made ready,
then have a row for sowing or trans
planting celery, and thus proceed
through the field. The plants should
not be less than one foot apart. The
onions will be out of the way before
the celery is large enough to begin
blanching.

light. There are two rows of sash on
each side of the house. Half of the
distance between the ridge and the

posts. The sash, 6X3 feet, glassed with
10x12 panes are just laid on and then

of the roof where the sashes come to-

The Irishman's Prayer.

An Irish member of a gang of
strike-breakers who were passing their
drst night in one of the buildings of
a certain Chicago beef company, not
long ago, had knelt in prayer at the
side of one Of the long line of cots
Just before retiring for the night,
when suddenly a shoe sailed through
the air and landed on the bed in front
of him
Raising his eyes until they rested
on this leather missile, the religious
Celt broke off praying long enough to
reach out and draw the shoe to him.
Then in loud, fervent tones he con-
cluded his prayer:

ven sind me tn mate to this wan!"

When Planting Trees.

When setting trees, trim off all
bruised roots with sharp knife, leav-
ing a smooth, clean edge which will
heal rapidly and send out new feeding
roots in a short time. A broken or
bruised root will decay and be a dam
age to the tree When a tree has lost
a portion of it's roots, like proportion
of the top should be removed If but
a few of the roots have been removed
in being transplanted, it will not be
necessary TO do more than thu out
the top and balance the symmetry Of
the tree.

Some warm-weather Salads


Zone of the prettiest of the luncheon
or supper salads is made by cutting the
top from a green pepper, removing
the seeds with knife or stick
they burn the skin if touched with
the fingers-and filling the basket thus
made with chickens or lobster salad,
saws Christine Terhune Herrick IN the
August WoMAN's HOME COMPANION.
Zach pepper may be placed on let
tuce leaf and crowned with a spoonful
of mayounaise. Another salad is prepar-
ed by following a tomato and filling 1t
with dice of cucumber, or peellng
cucumber, cutting it in half lengthwise,
scoopng out the inside, and replacing
this with dice tomatoes. Serve either
tomato or cucumber on a lettuce Leaf
and garnish with cucumber ribbons
These are made by shaving the peel from
the outside OF cucumber and then slic
ing this. Take a slice-it should be
rather thick-and with a sharp knife
cut this in a spiral as you would pare
an apple The shaving must be very
thin as it is not long before the seedy
center is reached, and only the flesh of
the cucumber will serve for the ribbons.
Cucumber boats filled with scrimps are
a satisfactory dish for cold supper.
Mayonnaise is served with this, or good
boiled dressing The cucumbers halved
and filled with other sliced or diced
cucumber served on lettuce, garnished
with cucumber ribbons and with strips
OF the scarlet sweet pepper cut very thin,
make good dish"
