CELERY. 
Cultivation. — Succeeds best in a highly enriched soil having 
abundance of moisture. For earliest crop sow on a hot bed in 
February, and for main crops in March and April. Prick out the 
earliest sowings when about two inches high, and transfer to the 
trenches in June. The latter sowings should be pricked into rich 
soil, and allowed to stand until they are four or five inches high 
The trenches should be twelve to eighteen inches deep, at the 
bottom of which a heavy dressing of manure should be dug in. 
Earth up gradually as the plants grow, and water every week should 
the weather he dry.
