Sow this slowly gcrrninatiog aced in a shallow box or in straight 
CULTURE, rows in a finely prepared bed. See that the seeds are kept almost 
wet and only lightly covered until they germinate. Thin and transplant when about 2 inches 
high, so that when about 4. inches hiKh the tops may be cut off, the plants standing about 3 
inches apart. By cutting it makes the plants grow Stocky. A good soil and plenty of water 
is essential to success. Set out about the middle of June or July, but good plants may he 
had by setting out as late as August. In setting, prepare broad, shallow trenches about six 
hichcs deep and four feet apart in which the plants should be set six inches apart, cutting off 
the outer leaves and pressing the soil firmly about the roots. Earth up a little during the 
summer, keeping the leaf stalks near together, so that the soil cannot get between them. 
Finish earthing up in the autumn, and never hoe or earth up in moist weather, or when the 
plants are moistened with dew. To preserve celery for winter, dig trenches a foot in width 
and as deep as the top of the plants. Stand the celery in these, erect as they grew, with 
what dirt adheres to the roots, packing closely, but not crowding. After the trench is filled 
»t should be covered with straw or leaves as a protection from the frost. Do not cover until 
the weather becomes quite cold, and then only a little at a time as the cold becomes greater. 
Celery will bear a good deal of frost. The trench must have a good drainage.
