CELERY. 



There- is no crop more generally cultivated than Celery. It is not only very desirable for the table, but is 

 very wholesome and nutritious, possessing many qualities beneticial to an exhausted constitution. For early 

 crop sow seeds in a hot bed. At the proper time transplant into other frames or beds, where they should remain 

 until quite strong before planting in the garden or field. For general crop the seeds may be sown in drills in 

 the garden; the tops should be cut once or t vice before planting out, to make them stocky; this will prove of 

 great benefit. The newer or improved varieties require but little banking compared with the older sorts, and 

 are therefore much more desirable, especially 

 for home culture.
