For the first crop, sow about the end of February ; and for successional crops in March and April. 
Sow in boxes or pans, ond place on a gentle bottom heat ; when the plants arc strong enough and 
gradually hardened off, they should be priched out 4 to G incites apart into prepared beds of soft rich 
soil, where they will acquire sufficient strength for finally planting into trenches. The ground intended 
for planting upon should be prepared by previous manuring : when it has settled, dig out trenches 12 to 
18 inches deep, 12 inches wide, and 4 feet apart, lay the soil out of the trench on, each side, and at the 
bottom place a layer of well-rotted manure, digging it well in to incorporate it with the soil ; select the 
strongest plants, which place in the centre of the trench, taking care not to remove the ball oj soil attached 
to the roots. In dry weather give a liberal supply of water, and feed up with liquid, manure. Earth, 
up as the plants require it, carefully closing the leaves to prevent the soil falling into the heart oj flu 
plant.

LARGEST ERFURT P er P kt - 0 6 
The roots of this variety are much used ami greatly esteemed on the Continent. The seeds are sown in 
heat in April, and the young plants raised and nursed in the same way as Celery; but in planting out, the 
ground is manured and dug, not trenched, and the plants set in shallow drills 12 inches apart, watering 
them freely. As the growth advances, draw the earth to the plants, by which the knotty roots will be 
blanched, and made delicate and tender.
