i oz, to ioco plants. 10 to 15 oz. to the acre. 



Culture. — Celery seed may be sown during 

 March or April in' hot-beds. From middle of 

 April or May seed may be sown out-doors, for 

 which purpose select a warm location, and light 

 rich soil. Thin until there is a clear space be- 

 tween the plants. When the plants are six inches 

 high, draw them, trim tops, place them six inches 

 apart in trenches. Shade until they begin to 

 grow, and, if dry, water. Trenches should be 

 three feet apart, four inches deep, and nine in- 

 ches wide. Incorporate plenty decayed manure at 

 bottom of the trenches to a further depth of one 

 foot, which may be done with a spade. Moist 

 land, well enriched will give the best results. 

 After September 1st, continue to draw on both 

 sides rich pulverized soil to the stems, at inter- 

 vals, as the growth of the plants indicates. This 

 should not be done during rainy or hot weather. 

 Keep soil from the heart of the plants. At the 

 end of October bury the wnole in dirt, and dig 

 up as desired for use.
