We grow the following varieties, which we offer 
30 cents per 100; $2.50 per 1,000. 
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 boards to shed the water, and in severe 
weather protect with straw or leaves.
