C ANN ELL S’ SEED GUIDE, 1914 
CELERY. 
CULTURE. — Tn February sow in heat : March and April inopen border. Plant in April, 
May and July, from 2 feet 9 inches to 3 feet between the trenches. A coating of mineral manure 
to 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 leaves, and also to keep slugs from 
injuring it.
