■ out the plants, for a temporary growth, placing them four inches apart. In 

 this bed the plants should remain till the beginning or middle of July, when 

 they should be removed into trenches a foot or fifteen inches deep, and a 

 foot wide, and five feet apart. At the bottom of the trench put some good, 

 rich, but well-decomposed manure, covering the manure with four inches of 

 earth ; then take up the plants from the temporary bed, and set them out 

 carefully in the bottom of the trenches, six or eight inches apart. The 

 system adopted by the market-gardeners of Boston is to well-manure the 

 ground, and plant in rows on the surface, four feet apart, setting the plants 

 in rows, as previously recommended ; when well-matured, ridge up the 

 plants with soil, being careful not to cover the Celery when in a wet or 

 damp state.
