CELERY. (^Seleri.-) 



Sow the 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 fine stockv plants, set in richly man- 

 ured, deep soil, in rows three and a half feet 

 apart, and about nine inches from plant to plant. 

 Water, if dry weather follows transplanting. 

 During the next two months all the attention re- 

 quired is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth 

 up a little, and continue doing so at intervals 

 until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in 

 autumn. Never hoe or earth up when the plants 

 are wet. One oiiiice of seed produces about fotir 

 thousand plants. Pkt. Or. }f lb.
