CELERY. 
CULTURE. — In Kebniary .sow in heat ; March ami April inopen border. Plant in April, 
May and July, from 2 feet 9 inches to 3 feet between the trenches. A contingof mineral manure 
to the bottom of the trenches with rotten dung from an old hot-bed, and well water in dry 
weather. However large Celery may be, it i.s of little value if dishgured by the ravage.s of garden 
pests. It i.s of the utmost importance that soot, burnt ashes, or even line soil is banked closely 
round the stems ; too much soot c.an hardly be used, both to keep away the eelery-tly that works its 
way in and ileposits its eggs between the two skins of the leaves, and also to keep slugs from 
injuring it.
