CELERY PLANTS. 



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 a part, 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 be " handled." This operation consists of draw- 

 ing 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 be easily cultivated and blanched by drawing the soil close up to the plant. Celery should receive thorough 

 cultivation if good results 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 boards to shed the water ; 

 in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. 



Celery plants can be supplied from about June 15th to the end of August. We grow the following splendid varieties, which 

 we offer at the uniform price of 50 cts. per 100 ; $4.00 per 1000. If wanted by mail, add 15 cts. per 100 for postage.

 good keeper.
