How could we flavor our salad or soup 

 If it were not for celery stalk and root? 



CELERY 



It was first found in the wild state in Eu- 

 rope and was rank and poisonous. By cultiva- 

 tion it has become crisp, sweet and juicy. It 

 is not often planted in the garden as it re- 

 quires a deep, rich, well drained, swampy soil. 

 When four to six inches high the young 

 plants are transplanted to trenches for blanch- 

 ing, which are about twelve inches deep. The 

 plants are repeatedly earthed up until they 

 have risen two feet or more above the natural 

 surface.
