CELERY. 
German, Seleri. — French, Celeri. — Spanish, Apio. 
Sow the seed in the open ground in April, or as soon as the ground can be nicely worked. 
It mav also be sown for early fall crop, in hot-beds or house, in February and March. 
Sow aDout half an inch deep and be careful to firmly press the soil over the seed. After the seed 
is up, keep carefully clear of weeds, until the time of planting, in June or July ; the tops are shorn 
off once or twice before planting, to insure “stocky’’ plants, which suffer less on being transplanted. 
After the ground has been well prepared, plant in rows from three to four feet apart, according to 
variety, setting the plants about six inches apart, and pressing the soil firmly about the roots ; keep 
free from weeds until the plants grow strong enough to crowd them down. Earth up gradually 
during their growth, keeping the leaf stalks close together, so that the soil does not get between 
them. The soil best suited for celery is a rich, moist loam.
