It is not prudent to surcharge the beds with manure, which some- 
times burns the plants. A safer plan is to put a part on the sur- 
face, around the plants, which, in the course of tillage, becomes 
incorporated with the soil. For the autumnal crop, the white is 
superior in flavor, but the red is better calculated for standing 
through the winter. If long and hard frost be apprehended, a 
sufficient quantity for domestic use should be taken up and placed 
in a bed of sand or light earth, in a shed or cellar. When the 
ground is deeply frozen, it, is sometimes impossible to get it out 
without tearing it to pieces. It may be kept very well for several 
weeks in acellar. To save the seed of Celery, take one or two | 
plants in the spring out of the ridge that stands last and replant it 
in an open place, and they will furnish seed sufficient for several 
years. 
Particular attention should be paid to earthing up Celery. The 
soil should be dry, or it is apt to rot the plants and render them 
unfit for use. As the plants advance in growth, blanch by earth- 
ing up gradually. That intended for late winter and spring use, 
had better not be blanched preparatory to being laid up. 
CHERVIL. 
This vegetable is used in soups and salads, and cultivated after 
the manner of Parsley. When wanted for summer use, sow in 
narrow drills early in the spring, and late in summer for the au- 
tumn and winter supply.

CORN SALAD, OR LAMB’S LETTUCE. 
Used as a small salad throughout the winter and spring. Sow 
thickly in drills first of autumn, and sprinkle with straw on the 
approach of severe weather.
