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 cultiva- 

 tion if good results are desired. 

 To store for winter use. select 

 well drained ground, dig trenches 

 I foot wide and deep enough to 

 cover the tops of the plants. 

 Pack the stalks in this in an 

 upright position, covering with 

 hoards to shed the water, and in 

 severe weather protect with straw 

 or leaves.
