Second Early and Winter 

 Keeping Varieties J> £> & 



CELERY requires to be kept as cool 

 as possible without freezing. For 

 early winter use, it should be partially 

 blanched in the garden; but for late 

 winter use, it should be put away 

 green. Store as late as possible but 

 before freezing. One method is to- 

 dig a trench as deep as the celery is- 

 high and as narrow as possible to- 

 pack the celery snugly in an upright 

 position, roots on the soil. Cover 

 with straw, hay or leaves, then add 6 

 to 8 inches of soil. In the outdoor- 

 cellar it is stood up with roots on* 

 moist soil. In the house cellar store 

 the Celery in narrow boxes or barrels- 

 not quite the height of the plants. A. 

 few inches of damp soil or sand is 

 placed in the bottom; pack the Celery 

 in upright with roots in contact with 

 the sand; pack moderately tight to 

 exclude the air so the Celery will not 

 wilt. The moist sand at the roots will 

 sustain it. The soil should be watered 

 as often as needed to keep it from dry- 

 ing out — but water through holes 

 about 8 inches apart bored through 

 the boxes just above the soil or sand — ■■ 

 do not wet the foliage or stalks. Thus, 

 packed and the boxes placed in a cooli 

 cellar, Celery will blanch and be fit. 

 to use in four to seven weeks, accord- 

 ing to the variety.
