The early variety of celery is blanched with boards, 
and after it is harvested there is room enough to ridge 
the late celery with earth for blanching. 
Many other combinations of succession and compan- 
ion cropping might be described, but it is hoped that 
the foregoing will be at least suggestive to those whose 
conditions are favorable for intensive types of gardening. 
This type of gardening appeals to owners of town and 
city lots and to commercial growers whose areas are 
limited. It necessarily involves a larger amount of hand 
work, and for this reason companion cropping is seldom 
practical where there is difficulty in securing laborers.
