Ozs. and % Lbs. Only Culture. One ounce will produce about twenty-five hundred 
Parcel Post Rates, plants and sow about two hundred feet of row. Sow the last of March 
See Page 2 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 resuit wili 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 pre- 
vent 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.
