Culture. One ounce will produce about twenty-five hundred plants and sow about two 

 hundred feet of row. Sow the last of March or early in April , in an open border, in rich mellow 

 ground in shallow drills, watering freeLv in dry weather. By rolling or pressing in the seed, 

 the result will be more satifactory than when only covered. Cut the tops off once or twice be- 

 fore planting out, to make them stocky. When the plants are 5 or 6 inches high, transplant 

 the dwarf varieties 3 feet and the taller sort 4 feet between the rows: plant 6 inches apart in the 

 rows. Cultivate well and when large enough, blanch by earthing up. The first operation is 

 that of "handling," generally done by the beginning of Septeinber. After the soil has been 

 drawn up with the hoe, it is drawn around each plant by the hand to keep the leaves firm in 

 upright position and prevent spreading. When the plants have become "set" in an upright 

 position and the Celery is wanted for early use, they shov..d be "banked." This is done by 

 throwing the soil up as close to the plants as possible with a plow and finishin.g it with a 

 spade, bringing the earth up nearly to the tops of the plants. The method employed now for 

 protecting it is by covering the tops of the banks vifitli water-proof felt paper.
