CELERI'AC, or TURNIP-ROOTED GEL- 

 EBY. (A'piitm grave'olens rapa'ceum.) Of 

 this variety of celery there is said to be 

 a hardier kind cultivated by the Ger- 

 mans, called by them Knott-celery. 



Sowing. It may be sown in March, 

 April, and May, to afford succession ai 

 plantations in June, July, and August. 

 Sow in drills six inches apart, and keep 

 regularly watered every evening in dry 

 weather. The bed must be kept free 

 from weeds, and when about three inches 

 high, the plants may be pricked out 

 into another border in rows three inches 

 apart each way, giving water abundantly 

 and frequently. By adopting the pre- 

 cautions mentioned in the cultivation of 

 celery, the same seed-bed will afford two 

 or three distinct prickings. In the neigh- 

 bourhood of Dresden, where this vege- 

 table is grown in great perfection, they 

 sow in February or March, in a hotbed, 

 under glass ; and the plants are removed 

 in April, when two or three inches high, 

 to another hotbed, and set an inch and 

 a half apart. The fineness of the plants 

 is there attributed to the abundance of 

 water with which they are supplied. 



When five or six inches high, they are 

 fit for final planting in rows two feet 

 asunder, and the plants eight inches 

 apart on the level ground, or in drills 

 drawn with the hoe three inches deep, 

 as they only require earthing up a few 

 inches with the hoe. In dry weather 

 they should be watered plentifully, at 

 least every other evening. Keep them 

 free from weeds. They require a light, 

 fertile soil. 



Sowing Seed. The directions given for 

 saving the seed of celery are in every re- 

 spect applicable to this vegetable.

Varieties. There are the Gigantic, 

 Dwarf Curled, Common Upright, Ked- 

 stalked, Upright, Giant, Hollow Upright, 

 and the Solid-stalked (red and while}. 

 The red chiefly for soups, the white be- 

 ing much more delicate in flavour ; violet t
