This is undoubtedly the leading, if not the best of Salad plants. To obtain 
good Celery it is very necessary that the plants be of strong growth. Seed may be 
sown in a hot-bed or very early in the open border. When sown in the former 
great care should be taken to keep 
the soil moist and shaded from 
the hot sun at the time of the 
plants making their appearance. 
When the plants are about three 
inches high, transplant to four or 
five inches apart on a well pre¬ 
pared bed of rich soil, well pulver¬ 
ized. When about eight inches 
high, transplant into rows or 
trenches any time from the middle 
of June to the first of August, but 
the time we would advise is about 
the first of July. The trenches 
should be dug about one foot in 
depth and well pulverized and en- 
ricned in the bottom with rotten 
manure. Before transplanting, 
clip off the tops and all straggling 
leaves so as to induce a stocky 
growth ; plants thus treated suffer 
less on being transplanted. To 
blanch or whiten, draw up earth 
against the plants with a hoe or 
spade from time to time, keeping 
the leaf stalks in a compact posi¬ 
tion, so that the earth cannot get 
between them ; this is done during 
September and October. Take up 
plants late in the fall, just before 
the winter sets in, and remove to 
the cellar and cover with sand or 
earth for future use. pkts Ct«.
