Celery requires a moist, rich soil, and will not 



thrive in poor soil and dry situations. After the 



plants have attained a height of 5 or 6 inches they 



should be set out in rows three feet apart and six 



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 plants grow 



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 1 foot wide and deep 



enough to cover the tops of the plants. Pack the stalks in this in an 



upright position, covering with hoards to shed the water, and in 



severe weather protect with straw or leaves. 



White Plume. 



This is a very ornamental variety, while its qualities are equal 

 to the best, being crisp, solid, and having that nutty flavor peculiar 

 to some of the red kinds.
