CELERY. 
{Apium graveolens.) Umbellifeka;. 
CULTURE. —In February sow in heat ; March and April in open 
border Plant in April, May, and July, from 2 feet 9 inches to 3 feet 
between the trenches. Well manure 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 is of little value if disfigured by the ravages of garden 
pests. It is of the utmost importance that soot, burnt ashes, or even fine 
soil is banked closely round the stems, too much soot can hardly be used, 
both to keep away the celery-fly that works its way in and deposits its eggs 
between the two skins of the leave.s, and also to keep slugs from injuring it.
