  twenty-flve

  plants 
  and 
  sow 
  about 
  

   two 
  hundred 
  feet 
  of

  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 
  

   "handling," 
  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 
  the 
  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 
  water 
  proof 
  felt 
  paper.

  better
