GEbERlAG-^ 



Or Turnip-Rooted Celery 



Culture.— Sow the seed at the same season and give the same 

 treatment as common celery. Transplant the youn^ plants to moist, 

 rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six inches apart in the row. 

 Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion of this 

 vegetable, it is not necessary to earth up or "handle" it. After the 

 roots have attained a diameter of two inches or over, they will be fit 

 for use. To keep through winter pack in damp earth or sand and 

 put in the cellar, or leave out of doors, covering with earth and 

 straw, like beets or carrots.

 when plants are well established, transplant to about one foot

GMIGORY 



LARQE ROOTED, OR COFFEE 



The dried and prepared roots of this are used quite exten- 

 sively as a substitute for, and adulterant of coffee. Sow the 

 seed as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared, in a 

 rather hght, moderately rich soil, in drills fifteen inches apart 

 for garden, and two to two and one-half feet for field culture. 

 When the plants are sufficiently^ large, thin to four to six inches 

 apart in the row. Keep clear of weeds, and in the fall, dig the 

 roots, slice them and dry in an apple evaporator, or kiln con- 

 structed for the purpose. Where the roots are grown in quan- 

 tity for the manufacturers of the "■prepared'' chicory, they 

 are usually brought to the factory in the "• green '"'' state and 

 there dried in kilns constructed for the pm'pose. Pkt. 5c;
