For the first crop soiv about the end of February in boxes or pans, and place on a gentle bottom heat ; 
when the plants arc strong enough they should be pricked out 4 to 6 inches apart into prepared beds of 
soft rich soil, when they will acquire sufficient strength for finally planting into trenches. Fig 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 of 
soil attached to the roots. Earth up as the plants require it.

LARGEST ERFURT per oz. 0 6 
The seeds are sown in heat in April, and the young plants raised and imrsed in the same wag 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.
