CELERY. {Selevi.) 



Celery 'is a native of England, and is found in its wild state in marshy places near the coast. Two 

 kinds are found, red and white, of both of which there are numerous garden varieties. 



Culture. — Sow seeds in March or April, in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the plants are three 

 inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them four inches apart. When grown six inches, 

 and tine stocky plants, set in richly manured, deep soil, in rows four feet apart, and about seven inches 

 from plant to plant. Water, if dry weather follows transplanting. During the next two months, all the 

 attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up a little, and continue doing so at inter- 

 vals till only the to]is of the leaves are visible late in autumn. Xever hoe or earth up when the plants 

 are wet. One ounce of seed produces about four thousand plants.
