52 CELERY. 



experience has taught me better; for 

 while it is true I caused my plants to take 

 fresh root, I did enough harm to the soil 

 to almost counterbalance the profits. By 

 testing the two ways in conjunction I 

 found that the plants set out on a dry day 

 were always healthy and green, while 

 those set after a shower became compara- 

 tively yellow or brownish in hue.
