A CELERY CENTER.
Town in Michlcran Where the Es
culent la Largely Grown.
What Koine Hollander Have Arrom
pllshest Near Kalaouizoa In Hulld
lnc Up a New In
dustry. Kalamazoo celery is so well known in
eiery jiart of this country that tlye
name is tiseal for all the lietter kinds of
celery, and, like "lllue Point oysters"
ami "Little Xeck clams," the puaranlee
contained in the name sells the article
to the exclusion of other brands. The
excellence of thus celery Ls said to Ixi
line to three thinps pood seed, dark,
heavy soil, ami care in prowinp ami
bleachinp it. Careful iackinpuiipht Inv
alided. I!ut as any pttrdeiier can select
14mm1 .seed and pite the j.lants pood
culture, Kalatna7.oo must excel in the
soil or lx'tter natural conditions as a
celery repion.
The celery meadows are just outside
of Ihe town of Kalamazoo, north ami
south of the city, ami surrounded by
hills, divided crosswise by a hifih ridpe,
on which the houses are built. The
meadows are alout three miles lonp
anil a mile wide. Tltese lottom lands.
are not-common farminp lamls. but are
cnniiost8l of a jKTiiliar form of black
muck, the result of vepetable deeonio
sition. and formerly they were so rich
that no fertilizers were needed. Xot
more than a dozen years apo very little
celery was raised on thee meadows,
and none for shipment to other mar
kets. Joseph llunkly, the florist, was
one of the pioneers in the industry,
recopnizinp the jieciiriar value of the
muck soil for celery. lie owned one
of the arliest celery farms, and it is
rejor1ed that he amassed a fortune
from the business before it was injured
by comfietition.
in recent years tle output has leen
so enormous that prices have dropped
from 2ti to ltl cents per dozen, and
many provvers hav been complainiup.
The seasons of 1SH2-H3 were compara
tively jMtor ones, and a numler of the
irrowers left their farms to enpacre in
the same business in the suburbs of
Xew York, but. they soon returned to
their home town. The provvers are
nearly all Hollanders, and they live in
dwellinps on their small holdinps,
which penerf.lly consist of from five to
ten acres. They are a frupal. indus
trious race, anil they adopt the most
advanced system of intensive farminp.
Five acres here easily support an or
dinary Holland family, and there is no
douhi but the head of it sates money.
The city of Kalamazoo is one of the
prettiest in the country, and it owes
not a little of this to t he industry of t he
celery provvers. The amount of celery
shipped from the city varies from year
to year, but a conservative intimate
places the averapc 'plant ity at CO tons
per day from July 1 to January 1. This
would mean aliout 3.ftiM).CMki tlozen.
at ten cents r dozen, this would
ainoiint to $3tiU.(8Kl. As this is a very low
estimate, one is almost safe in sayinp
that- the industry nets the town at
least $500.uoo a year.
The bunches of celery are packed in
wooden boxes and shipped to com
mission men. The lioxcs are made in
the town, pivir.p employment to a num
ber of mechanics. They are about the
size t)f a jx-acli-crate, 24 inches lonp, ll
inches vvid and G to 8 inches deep.
Fertilizers are now used freely uison
the already rich 1 ait torn lands, and
every time a provver takes a lo.nl of
celery into the town he brinps 1 ick
:i load of fertilizer. It is claimed that
four crops of celery are raised in one
season on the hind. but. this is not lit
erally true. The farmers make four
plantinps, xvhich mature from July to
iiecembcr, but these can hardly tie
called four crojas. The first plantinp
is made early, and as this celery must
be bleached with loards it it- an in
ferior prade. The old sayinp is that
celery is not fit to eat until sifter the
first frost, and in a sense this is true,
b.it modern conditions of our markets
demand that celery Khali be ready for
use all the year round. The soutlicm
provvers send it north early in sum
mer, and since ieople will buy this v-p-et
ablest out of season, the Kalamazoo
provvers bepin to send their product to
the cities much earlier than five years
apo.
The question of profit in celery prow
inp is a disputed one, and like stravv
lerry farminp there are stories current
of farmers makinp $r.(Wi jut acre, w hile
others claim that if they make $50 jser
acre they are doinp well. At lirveii
town. ).. where the larpest celery farm
under the control of one man is lo
cated, the profits are said to averapc
lietween $20O and ?4n0 ier acre. There
are nearly inn acres planted with
celery on that farm, and if the
tipures are correct tiie owner has every
reason to believe that farminp does
pay. Like the Kalamazoo celery lands,
the soil of Urvcntow ii. O.. is exceealinp
ly rich ami well adapted to the culture
of the celery plant, l'.ut even so. cheap
lalor must W employed to make the
farm pay any thinp like $3O0 or $4n jwr
acre. Here in Kalamazoo, the provv
ers U-lieve that $KKl and $2Ml -r acre
is a piMl profit, anil a man with ten
icres of soil need not suffer preatly
with such an income. Six years apo the
same land could have made profits of
$ioo per acre, but then the provvers
were receivinp just twice as much for
their celery as they are to-day. X. Y.

One True Ghast Story.
This is a truephost story of an uncon

late at uiphton a visit to a friend. She
awoke in the darkness to find a white

watched the bedclothes were suddenly
whisked off ami the apparition van
ished. After an anxious, not to say
chilly, nipht, the visitor went down
with little appetite for breakfast. At
the table shes was introduced to a pen
.llemau, a very old friend of the family,
who had, she learned, also Iseep sleep

cold. "I hojie you will excuse me, he
said to his hostess, "but I found it so
cold durinp the nipht that, knowinp
the room next mine wa,s unoccupied, i

was not unoccupied, but he never

The younpest preat-prand mother in

was a Spanish woman and her father an

At that time there were very few white
families in that section ami so those

When Jennie lacked two months of

surprised one day to hear that she had
come home from school to announce
that -she hatl liecn married to Karl F.
Phelps, a dashinp younp man from th

Mill, but her mother forpave her. and
the couple went to liveonyouup Phelpt

His friends were all osted and aw ait

anxious exectancy. It came a few
days apo, and the paokape was can-ful

but on a closer examination there was
the maker's stamp indelibly placed on

A year apo Prof. Chancy and M)ms

a country whieh had seldom been seen

They were told by the original wttJei

l'.iown peak, north of Lake MelVuial.l.
v. ith the itlea that glaciers were to be
found, he had .sen not only a glacier,
but aloo a lieautiful valley and a lake
Lew to the world.
The scientists found the basin and
lake, and, by reason of the constant
roar of avalanches, they named the val
