Sow in May and June for 

 early transplanting, and in

 later crop. Sow thinly and 

 sliade during tlie liot months. 

 Transi)laiit wiien the plants 

 are six inches high, into 

 trenches about four inches 

 deep, nine wide, and two and 

 a half ff et> apart, made very 

 rich by digging in rotten ma- 

 nure. Plants should be from 

 six to eight inches apart. 

 When planted out during the 

 hot months, the trenches re- 

 quire to be shaded, which is 

 generally done by spreading 

 cotton cloth over them ; Ian- 

 tanais will answer the same 

 purpose. Celery requires plen- 

 ty of moisture, and watering 

 with soapsuds, or liquid ma- 

 nure, will benefit the plants a 

 great deal. When tall enough 

 it should be earthed up to 

 blanch to make it fit for the 

 table. 



Large Wliite Solid is
