CELERY. {Selert.) 



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 

 ar^ wet. One ounce of seed produces about four 

 tnozisand plants.
