CELERY 



Sellerie, Ger. 



CULTURE— Sow m March or beginning of April m drills 8 or lo inches apart, in a bed of fine, rich soil cover- 

 ing to a depth of one-fourth of an inch. If the soil is dry, press the earth with back of spade or roller after cover- 

 ing, and keep clear of weeds, or the young plants will be smothered out. Transplant from July to September. Sep- 

 tember plantings succeed excellently, and require less labor than setting out earlier. To prepare a bed for 'Celerv 

 throw out the earth to a depth of 6 inches, 4 or 5 feet wide, and put in 3 or 4 inches of well-rotted manure dig in we'll 

 and cover with fine soil. Set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart, in rows i foot apart, press the soil firmly to the roots 

 and when the plants are large enough, earthing up can be commenced. The plants will need to be earthed up two or 

 three times, and m doing this care should be taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant When severe 

 cold w-eather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and place boards on top ; waterproof felt paper is 

 also used. In such a bed the stalks will blanch perfectly, and may be taken out during the winter for sale or use as 

 required. In field culture, when the celery is to be earthed up in the field for early use, the plants are set on 'the 

 surface, in rows 4 feet apart, and the plants set 6 inches apart in the row: or, if the plants are to be taken up and 

 blanched m the cellar for winter use, they may be set in rows as close as 2 feet apart. Celery requires frequent 

 cultivation, and the earth drawn up to the plants as rapidly as it makes growth. Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted Celerv, 

 needs no earthing up, and may be planted in rows 18 inches apart.

 and can be used 

 earlier than any other Celery, being entirel}'
