CELERY AND CELERIAC 



141 



PLATE 12. Celery, Vegetable Marrows, and Cucumbers. Force 

 celery seed in boxes under glass and as close up to the 

 glass as possible (Fig. 1). Tie up the celery as shown in 

 Fig. 2, and plant it in trenches as shown in Fig. 3. 

 Fig. 4 illustrates a vegetable marrow mound. Keep 

 the marrows until the winter, strapped to the wall or 

 ceiling of a dry room (Fig. 5). Provide copious supplies 

 of moisture for the growing marrow (Fig. 6). Fig. 7 shows 

 how cucumbers may be forced without any special apparatus.
