Care OF Celery.

The Germantown Telegraph gives
the experience of a correspondent in
the culture and winter care of this val
liable vegetable in the following: We
have tried most ways. but prefer this
ole, followed for many years: A trench
is dug from twelve to fifteen inches in
depth, and as long as may be suitable;
place the roots in this singly, side by
side. at an angle, that is, leaning some
what; three inches of soil are packed
against them; then another line of
stalks, until the bed is as large as may
be convenient for covering, when an
other, If required can be made. Soil
should then be added until within six
inches of the top of the stalks; then
layer of straw, then layer of
dry leaves; the whole to have
good board covering to keep out wa
ter. OF course rather high ground for
the bed or beds should be selected, and
a trench dug around the bed deeper
than the bottom of the celery trenches,
so made as to be sure to carry of all
the water. III this plan is followed
strictly all others may be abandoned,
as the celery will keep not only till
spring, but as long in spring as may be
desired if it is not all eaten beforehand.
We have tried standing the celery up
in -four barrels, filling them full with
any soil, first having sunk the barrel in
the ground some six inches below the
surface, covering it with soil, and have
found it to do pretty well, though the
celery was not as sweet and fresh. We
have tried it also well protected in the
rows, and found it to do well for early
use.
Celery, cabbage, beets, turnips, etc.,
should never be keptin the house eel
lar. They seldom do well, and fire.
quently decay and cause serious illness.
