Inquiries anlr ^nstucrs. 



Cultivation of Celkry. — I find myself compelled to ask 

 your counsel in regard to raising celery. I understand 

 something about it theoretically, but wish to learn through 

 the Farmei' the whole practical part, from sowing till It is 

 ready for the table, after which I can manage it 1 have 

 already trenched some, though I do not see how I can eco- 

 nomically blanch it Please teacli me all you conveniently 

 can in regard to it Charles Bracket. — RocheMer, Ind. 



Celery seed should be sown as early in the 

 spring as the weather will admit. If sown in a 

 hot-bed and transplanted when an inch and a half 

 or two inches high into a bed in the open air, to 

 strengthen, so much the better. Let them remain 

 in this bed till four or five inches high, when they 

 must be transplanted into trenches. The trenches 

 should be dug about eighteen inches deep and 

 four feet apart. Place some well rotted, rich ma- 

 nure about six inches thick at the bottom of the 

 trench, and on the top of this some five or six 

 inches of very rich surface soil or compost. In
