CELERY. 



German, Sellerie. — French, Cfe^eri.— Spanish, 

 Apia. 



One ounce will produce 5,000 

 plants. 



The seed may be sown in the open border 

 as soon in April as the ground can be worked. 

 When the plants are three inches high, trans- 

 plant four inches apart, into temporary beds 

 of soft rich soil, where they will soon acquire 

 sufficient strength for planting out in beds. 

 Plant in rows three feet apart, and set six 

 inches apart in rows. If the weather is dry 

 at the time of planting, care should be taken 

 that the roots are firm in the ground. After 

 the planting is completed, nothing further is 

 necessary for six or seven weeks, except run- 

 ning through between the rows with the 

 cultivator or hoe and freeing the plants from 

 weeds. About the middle of August earthing 

 up is necessary for blanching and whitening 

 of that which is wanted for early use. After 

 the soil has been drawn up against the plant 

 with the hoe, it is further pressed close 

 around each plant by the hand, firm enough 

 to keep the leaves in an upright position and 

 prevent them from spreading, using care to 

 prevent the soil falling into the heart of the 

 plant. 



GOIiDEN SEIiF-BIiANCHING. A 



self-blanching variety of the "White 

 Plume " order, but far superior for either

 yellow color, crisp, tender and of fine 

 flavor ; keeps well throughout the season, 

 and is the earliest variety grown. Per
