CELERY 



Sellerie. Ge 



CXJI/TURE — Sow iu Maroii or begiuniug of April in drills S or 10 inches apart, in a bed of fine, rich soil, 

 corerini,' to a depih ot one-fourth of an inch. If the soil is dry, press the earth with back of spade or 

 rollei^ after covering, and keep clear of weeds, or the young plants will be smothered out. Transplant from 

 July to September. September plantings succeed excellently, and require less labor than setting out earlier. 

 T:. prepaie r. bed for celery, throw out the earth to a depth of 6 inches, 4 or 5 feet wide, and put in 3 or 

 - : ^ : : :r. dig in well and cover with fine soil. Set the plants 6 to S inches apart, in 



~ 1 ; . ^ : _ - : -oil firmly to the roots, and when the plants are large enough, earthing up can be 

 commenced. Tiie plants will need to be earthed up two or three times, and in doing this care should be 

 taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe cold weather 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 sur- 

 face, 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 bla:

 ''■ginator's stock. French-grown seed. A 

 vigorous-growing and handsome variety, 

 decidedly better in quality than the 

 White Plume, and is larger in size. It

 flavor. Color, beautiful golden yellow,
