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 be "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 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 drenches 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.

 large stalks and magnificent bright golden yellow heart. The

 remarkably good keeper.
