 store may be ready. There will be snow-white 

 tender hearts for a relish, brittle crisp stalks to

 crown and leaf tops as well as the white crisp 

 stalks, may be used. From the first paper blanched 

 stalks to the last plant in the trench, the celery 

 adds attractiveness to the table and zest to the 

 appetite and renders the food more palatable and 

 healthful.
