Sow last of March or early in April, in open bor- 

 der, in rich mellow ground, shallow drills ; water 

 freely in dry weather; roll or press in seed. Cut tlie 

 tops off once or twice hefure planting out, to make 

 them stocky. When plants are 5 to 6 inches high, 

 tran>plant, dwarf varieties 3 feet and taller sorts 4 feet 

 between rows; plant 6 inches apart in rows. Culti- 

 vate well, and when large enough blanch by earthing 

 up. The first operation is that of " handling," gen- 

 erally done beginning of September ; after soil has 

 been drawn up with hoe, it is drawn closer around each 

 plant by hand, to keep leaves firm in an upright posi- 

 tion and prevent spreading. NVhen plants have be- 

 come " set " in upright position, and Celery is wanted 

 for early use, they should be "banked." This is 

 done by throwing soil up as close to plants as possi- 

 l)le with a plow and finishing with a spade, bringing 

 'earth up nearly to the tops of plants. The method 

 employed now for protecting is by covering tops of 

 banks with waterproof felt paper.
