SOME CHOICE CELERIES. 
French— Ccleri. 
Spanish — Apis. 
CULTURE — Sow this slowly germinating seed in a shallow box or in straight rows in a finely- 
prepared bed. See that the seedsare kept 
almost wet and only lightly covered until 
they germinate. Thin and transplant 
when about two inches high, so that 
when about 4- inches higli the tops maj' 
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 are essential 
to Buccess. Set out about the middle of June or July, 
but good plants may be had hy setting out as late 
as August. In setting, prepare broad shallow trenches 
about 6 inches deep and 4 feet apart, in which the 
plants should be set 6 inches apart .cutting off theouter 
leaves and pressing the soil firmly about the roots. 
Earth up a little daring the summer, keeping the leaf 
stocks near together, so that the soil cannot get be- 
tween them. Finish earthing up in the autumn, and 
never hoe or earth iip 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, pack- 
ing closely, but not crowding. After the trencli is filled it 
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 liecomes greater. 
Celery will bear a good deal of frost. The trench must have 
uood drainage.
