CELERY FOR USE IN WINTER
Cool Weather With Plenty Of Mois-

(By ANNA GAI.IGHERA

AS rule, late celery grows better
than early because the weather usual

plants have got start and cool
weather with plenty of moisture is
what it takes to make good celery.
Rich soil is also an important fac
tor, but most important of all is good
plants. Unless strong, stalky, well
rooted plants are used there will be
little chance for a crop.
We usually put the late celery in as
a second crop, where potatoes or some
early vegetables have been grown. In
the North late July or early August
time for setting out the plants. In
the South it should be done a month
earlier.
Inc ground is worked up deep and

eight feet apart to allow plenty of
room for banking up.
Each two rows are placed about ten
inches apart and the plants are set
ABOUT eight inches apart in the row.

II the ground Is not very rich, spread

torture It involved.
Sending for Mr.. Black. asked him
point blank whether In face of the
circumstance that the victim OF this
murder was my best friend. he would
not prefer to plead his case before
Judge Grosvenor. He answered no:
that he had more confidence In my
equity even under these circumstances
than In that of my able, but head
strong colleague. and prayed me to get
well. He did not say that he expected
me on this very account to show even
more favor toward his client than /
might otherwise have done, but am
sure that he meant It: and, taking his
attitude as an omen, obeyed his
Injunction and was soon well enough
to take my seat upon the bench.
What men saw facing them from
the bench was an automaton wound up
to do SO much work each day. The
real Ostrander was not there. but
stood, an unseen presence at the bar,
undergoing trial side by side with
John Scoville, for a crime to make
angels weep and humanity hide its
head: hypocrisy!
But the days went by and the mex.
orable hour drew nigh for the accused
mans release or condemnation. Cir
cumstances were against him--so was
his bearing, which / alone understood.
II, as all felt, 1t was that of guilty
man. 1t was 30 because he had been

meant to attack Algernon Etheridge.
He had run down the ravine for that
purpose. knowing my old friends
whistle and envying him his watch.
Or why his foolish story OF having
left his stick behind him? But the
sound of my approaching steps higher
up on the path had stopped him in
midcareer and sent him rushing up
the slope ahead of me. When he came
back after short circuit of the fields
beyond, 1t was to find his crime fore
stalled and by the very weapon he
had thrown into the Hollow as he
went scurrying by. He had meant to
attack Etheridge. It was the shock
OF the discovery OF the body, height
ened by the use he made of 1t to Sc

back somewhat, as when the top is
to be replaced with new growth of the
same variety, and then insert the buds
on the new branches that develop
after the tree has been deheaded.
When this course is followed the buds
should be inserted in the new growth
as near the trunk as is practicable, in
order to have as large q portion of
the top as possible of the new variety
This is also desirable on account OF
the subsequent management of the
tree.
Top-working is sometimes done by
grating instead OF budding. The or
binary cleft graft is generally used in
such cases. However, budding is to
be preferred, especially as the wounds
made in grating do not heal readily
in the case of the peach, though when
properly done the union of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make fairly serviceable tree. But
troubles incident to the difficulties in
the healing of the wounds are likely
to occur.

For various reasons it is sometimes
desirable to change the top of peach
tree from one variety to another. A
grower may find after his orchard be-
gins to bear that he has larger num-
Der of trees of some variety than he
wants; block of trees may prove to
be some other variety than the one
ordered; or, for some other reason a
variety is not well adapted to the
needs of the owner. In such cases he
has recourse to top-working the tree
either by budding or grating to de-
sirable variety.
The ordinary method of shield bud
ding is the one more commonly used
for this purpose If the tree to be
top-worked is not more than two or
three years old it is usually prac-
ticable to insert the buds directly into
the main limbs we'll down toward the
point where they leave the trunk. The
Illustration shows a Triumph peach
tree that was budded to the Carman
variety when 1t was three years old,
after it's crop of fruit had been re-
moved. The points where the buds
were inserted may be seen by refer
ence to the figure.
II the tree to be top-budded has
reached the age when the bark on
the main limbs has become too thick
and firm to be manipulated readily for
budding, it is necessary to head it
