CELERY. 
CULTURE. — In February sow in heat ; March and April in open border. Idant in April, 
M.ay and .Inly, fro!n 2 feet 9 niches to .9 feet between thd trenelies. A coating of mineral manure 
to the bottom of the trenches with rotten dmi^ from an old hot-bed, and well water in dry 
weather. However laige Celery may be, it is of little value if dis'igiired liy the ravages of ganlen 
pests. It is of the utmost importance tliat soot, burnt ashes, or even line soil is banked closely 
round the stems ; too much soot can hardly be nsedj both to keep away the celery-lly that works its 
way in and deposits its eggs between the two skins of the leaves, and also to keep slugs from 
iiyuriiig it.
