For the first crop, sow about tho end of February ; and for suocessional crops in March and April. 
Sow in bo.\es or pans, and place on a gentle bottom heat ; when tho plants are strong enough and 
gradually hardened off, they should bo pricked out i to 6 inches apart into prepared bods of 
soft rich soil, where they will acquire sufficioiit strength for iinally planting into trenches. The 
ground intended for planting upon should bo prepared by previous manuring ; when it has settled, 
dig out trenches 12 to 18 inches deep, 12 inches wide, and 4 feet apart, lay tho 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 W'ith the soil ; select the strongest plants, which ijlaco in the centre of the trench, taking care not 
to remove tho ball of soil attached to the roots. In dry weather give a liberal supply of water, and 
feed up with liquid manure. Earth up as tho plants require it, carefully closing the leaves to 
prevent the soil falling into the heart of tho plant. 
CELERIAC or TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY. 
LARGEST ERFURT ’ per pkt. 0 6 
The roots of this variety aro much used and greatly esteemed on the Continent. The seeds are 
sown in April boat, and tho young plants raised and nursed in tho same way as Celery ; but in 
planting out tho ground is manured and dug, not trenched, and tho plants sot in shallow drills 12 
inches apart, watering them freely. As the growth advances, draw the earth to the iflants, by 
which the knotty x’oots will be blanched, and made dehcate and tendox’.
