heart of the plant. In held culture the plants are set on the surface in row 

 is to be earthed up in the field for early use, and two feet 

 apart when the plants are to be taken up and blanched in 

 the cellar for winter use. The plants are set six inches 

 apart in rows. If not grown in beds, the best way to 

 store is to dig trenches in a well-drained spot in the open 

 ground, one foot wide, and of a depth a few inches le« s 

 than the height of the Celery. The plants are then 

 lifted and set close together until the whole quantity is 

 stored. The edges of the trench should be made sloping 

 from the tops of the plants. When severe cold weather 

 comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay, or straw, 

 and place boards on top. In such a trench the stalks 

 will blanch perfectly, and may be taken out any time 

 during winter for use or sale as required. 



The turnip-rooted, or '*Knob'' Celery, needs no 

 earthing up. and may be planted in rows one foot apart.
