HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—CELERY PLANTS, ETC. 
CELERY PLANTS 
Plants witl be ready to send out July1st. They can be planted 
in this latitude from then until the end of August. 
Celery requires a moist, rich soil, and will not thrive in poor 
soil and dry situations. After the plants have attained a height 
of five or six inches they should be set out in rows three feet apart, 
and 6 inches in the row. When twelve to fifteen inches high, the 
soil should be loosened by the use of the plow or hoe, and the 
plants ‘<‘handled.’’ This operation consists of drawing the stems 
upright with one hand and pressing the soil firmly against the plant 
with the other; by this process the plant grows upright, and can 
easily be cultivated and blanched by drawing the soil close up te 
the plant. Celery should receive thorough cultivation if good re- 
sults are desired. To store for winter use, select well-drained 
ground, dig trenches one foot wide and deep enough to cover the 
tops of the plants. Pack the stalks in this in an upright position, 
covering with waterproof celery paper to shed the water; in severe 
weather protect with straw or leaves. 
We grow the following splendid varieties, which we offer at the 
uniform price of 50 cts. per 100; $4.00 per 1000.
