Culture. One ounce will produce about twenty-five hundred plants and sow about two hun- 

 dred 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 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 asclose 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 protect- 

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