Culture—Sow the seed at the same season and give the same treatment as com- 
mon celery. Transplant the young 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 edi- 
ble 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 WE 
fit for use. To keep through winter, pack in damp earth or sand and SX 
put in the cellar, or leave out of doors, covering with earth and straw, 
like beets or carrots.
