Growing Celery.


From the Western Rural
We are asked to give directions for
the cultivation of celery. Sow the seed
in the open ground as soon as the
ground is fit to work. The ground
should be level and the soil mellow and
rich, and it is better when it is being
thoroughly pulverised, which it ought
to DO, to mix it with short stable manure.
Sow in rows eight inches apart, using
one ounce of seed to every twenty feet
of row. After sowing roll or pat down
with spade. As soon as the plants
appear hoe lightly between the rows,
and pull out the weeds as soon as they
are seen. As the plants advance in
growth cut off the tops-pcrhaps twice
before planting--as that process in
duces stocky growth and plants
treated thus suffer less in trans.
planting. 1t may lie planted
any time from the middle of June to
the middle Of August, hut little is gained
in planting before July. Prepare
ground, and plant on level surface
with rows three feet apart and the
plants sixteen inches apart in the rows,
if it is dwarf variety, five feet apart
if of the large varieties. Firm the
soil about the plant, especially if it is
dry. After planting, nothing need be
done for six weeks, except to run be-
tween the rows with cultivator and keen
the plants free from weeds. About the
middle of August begin to earth mp to
l,lanch up what is wanted for use i'll
September, October and November
Draw the soil up about the plant with a
hoe and firm it about it, so that the
leaves shall he in an upright position.
Then draw more dirt up about the row.
\ pillow may be used for this purpose.
But the blanching process is completed
only when the soil is taken from be-
tween the rows and banked up to the
top of the plants on each side

such Frightening prospects as the work
