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 freely in dry weather. By 

 rolling or pressing in the seed, the result will be more satisfactory than when only 

 covered. Cut the tops off once or twice before 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 

 "hcindling," generally done by the beginning of September. After the soil has been 

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

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

 in an upright position and the Celery is wanted for early use, they should be 

 "banked." This is done by throwing the soil up as close to the plants as possible 

 with a plow and finishing it with a spade, bringing the earth nearly up to the tops 

 of the plants. The method employed now for protecting it is by covering the tops 

 of the banks with waterproof felt paper.
