Calture. One ounce will produce about twentj--five hundred plants and sow about two 

 hundred feet of row. Sow the last of IVIarch or earl.\' 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 satifactorj' 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 the hand to keep the leaves firm in an 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 up nearly to the tops of the plants. The method employed now for pro- 

 tecting it is by covering the tops of the banks with water-proof felt paper.
