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 cultiva- 
tion 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 boards to shed the water, and in severe weather protect with straw or leaves.
