Smallage, thj primitive namo of this plant is poison, growing in, marshy grounds in Europo. Cultivation has proved what can bo accomplished by scientific gardening; time and 'atten tion has deprived it of all deleterious etrects. Celerj. tho namo by which it is now so universal" known, has be como a f'ashionablo appendage to the table, and wo aro somewhat at a loss whether to consider it under the caption of culinary or esculent; indeed cither would bo proper. Tho namo opium, is derived from tho Celtic epon, alluding to a watering placo where grown Qrd ceolus means strong scented, y conspic uous is. smallage or wild celei-3. The flavour is doubtless to tho novico. un accustomed to its use, unpleasant, there- tore to do palatable it requires an arti ficial tasto, which onco established cre ates a desire for it. There aro several varieties, whether from accident in cul turü, isjnot to-our ptrpose. TJa white and red salad-are those esteemed for the tablo. Thoso plants' 'when prepared are not only ornamontnl in rra.nishing tho table but are relished with zest with or without other accompaniments. ' Cut ujTÄnd seasoned with chicken or veal, makes a delightful salad. The turnip rooted is mostly used for soups, and when out of season, or for pea voyages tho seeds aro used for that purpose as they CMtitain a delightful aromatic scent and flavour; no 'substituto could bo moro readily- produced for such a purpose. Tho stalks of celery arc enolin-' . r wnen eaten raw through the fall and winter:, indeed no table in tho' season could bo considered complete without either, as nn edible ' or for garnishing utiles; ncuner is a garden complete with its bed which reo u ire more trouble than many vegetables, the pnr-exrellenee of the plant will set aside all trouble for its attainment.' Tho botanical species extend to tho different varieties of parsle3. Their qualities are so well known to the community as to need no trumpet to sound their fame. To cultivate celery, the coeds should be sown in February under crlass. and watered in dry weather once or twice a day until the plants aro up; when four inches high, if too thick, they should bo tinned out. Iu April beds should be formed by digging a trench or trenches, L' 1 I . .. . . ....

The soil taken outV tho trenches should bo well incorpora ted with old manuru and placed be tween tho trenches for future use When tho plant aro till in, wnter them copiously, and they will soon strike fresh root. When the plants commence gro ing tako them sin-iv in one hand and draw the soil into the trench round them with tho other. Never allow the soil to get between tho stalks or it m.iv rot them. When the trench is filled then begin to draw up tho soil between tho trenches, this will leave a trench be tween the rows and in tho winter will reeeivo the surplus water nnd readily permit you to dig up the plants when required. A tho nevo:;e weather ap proaches cover tho foilacw with litter or tr:iw to prevent tho frost from inju ring tho plants. By proper attention plants can bo raked, that will weigh twelvo pounds and furnish your table throughout the winter wih i dainty much needed. Hoktici'lti:ralist.
