How to Have Celery All Winter 

 Instead of Vain Regrets 



THE one thing that every home gardener 

 should remember to do in the first 

 week of August, but usually forgets, is to 

 plant the late crop of celery for winter use. 

 If possible, get the plants into the ground 

 during the last days of July, but do it some 

 time before August is far advanced. 



Seed for the late celery crop was sown in 

 April, or perhaps in May. The young 

 plants will by this time be in the proper 

 stage for transplanting. If you forgot to 

 provide for a supply of late plants, no matter, 

 for they can be bought at the seed store. 



In large gardens, where there is plenty of 

 room, the late celery crop has a space reserved 

 for it from the first, the ground being culti- 

 vated from time to time and kept free from 

 weeds, but not put to any other crop. In 

 small gardens celery is grown as a second 

 crop after early peas, lettuce, cabbage or 

 beets, or it may be planted in the onion bed, by 

 removing every third row of onions, to be 

 stored as sets, and leaving the rest for late 

 harvesting. 



There is just one requisite to successful 

 celery culture — deep soil, and the deeper the 

 better! Failure in the late celery crop is 

 because the -roots do not get sufficient 

 moisture, and mere surface watering will not 

 suffice. The plant wants cool roots, with 

 plenty of moisture, but not stagnant water. 

 Before planting, therefore, prepare the 

 ground thoroughly by plowing, harrowing 

 and smoothing off. The small home gardener 

 will dig two spits deep and rake. 



The easiest way to plant out is to make a 

 furrow six inches deep and fill in with three 

 inches of fine well-rotted manure or rich 

 compost. This will hold water for the roots 

 and provide the ideal conditions. Next 

 mix the manure with the soil and fill in the 

 furrow nearly level with the surface — say to 

 within an inch or less. The garden fork is 

 the tool to use for mixing. 



Plant dwarf, self-blanching celery in rows 

 two and a half feet apart, and not closer than 

 six inches in the row, the home gardener 

 should not plant tall kinds; the common 

 tall varieties occupy far too much room in the 

 garden and are not so convenient to handle 

 in the blanching process. 



Before taking the young plants from the 

 seedbed or box, soak them thoroughly with 

 water, and just before planting trim the tops 

 (cutting off one-third) and dip the roots in 

 water. Don't expose the roots to the sun 

 during transplanting, and do the work on a 

 dull day if possible.
