where surface water will not drain into the trench. Take up the celery with 

 any dirt that may happen to adhere to the roots. Set the stalks close together, 

 and close to the sides of the trench, but do not press them in. After the trench 

 is filled, place pieces of board or scantling across it at intervals of five or six 

 feet, one of these pieces being shown in the en- 

 graving. On these place boards, five or six feet 

 long, covering the entire trench. Then cover the 

 boards with a good body of straw or leaves, with 

 boards or earth on top to keep it from blowing 

 away. The work is then completed. When eel- ^^^ 

 ery is needed, take up a length of short boards, 



and remove enough 



|celery to the cellar to 



last a few days, and 



'place it in the coolest 



part, covered with 



earth. Eeplace the 



boards and covering as 



before. The dwarf cel- 

 eries are generally the 



most solid, sweetest,and 



really the most profit- 

 able. The pink sorts 



are very pretty as a 

 table ornament, and as good as the white. The engravings show the general 

 appearance of a well grown celery stalk, also of a variety called Boston Market, 

 of a straggling habit. We also show the Turnip-rooted celery, the bulbous root 



being prized for flavoring.
