Celery 
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 apartin the rows. Culti- 
vate 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 spread- 
ing. 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 tnrowing 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.
