From the Germantown Telegraph.
There are few salad plants more highly
esteemed than celery. 1t is comparatively
easy of cultivation, and yet but few attempt
or succeed in growing 1t. Sometimes plants
are purchased and set out, but rarely succeed
because the roots become dried and withered.
1t is much better TO grow ones own plants,
which can be done by starting them in a hot
bed, or for want of one, planting the seeds
early i'm the spring In pan OF box covered
with glass and put in window which has
sunlight The young plants are quite slow
of growth, and by the time they put forth
two or three leaves the weather will usually
be warm enough to plant them out into the
open soil. For the purpose of putting out,
the soil should be of good fertility and well
pulverized. Into this the young plants
should be placed in rows tour or more inches
apart and two inches appart In the rows.
They should be frequently watered by means
Of water-pot with a fine rose, and in little
time will begin to make good growth. A
moderately moist soil or frequent watering
are absolutely necessary Before the plants
are ready for setting the trenches should be
prepared by carefully making them foot
wide, and ii several three feet apart; dig with
spade or shovel, throwing out the soil be-
tween the trenches, keeping level and
smooth put in well rotted manure two or
three inches deep and cover carefully with
the soil to depth of four or five inches
When the plants are about six inches in
height commence to transplant, by taking
trowel and carefully lifting the plant and
then removing the soil so that the roots may
he spread and not crowded i'm resettng. The
plants should be set four or five inches apart
In the trench and the earth well trodden
down. After setting water copiously and
keep the plants moist by occasional applica-
tiOns of house slops, soapsuds, etc, which
also serve the purpose Of not only fertiliZing,
but also of killing slugs In very hot days the
trenches may be shaded by tome artificial
means, using branches of trees or boards.
For successional crops the settings may be
made three weeks or month apart The
latter part of July the rows will need special
attention. The rows should be carefully
hoed, all loose leaves and suckers carefully
removed, and of loose earth that is worked
into the trenches with trowel haul about
the plants, collecting the leaves with the
hand, a sufficient quantity to commence the
earthing, which should be repeated at inter-
walls of two or three weeks, until the earth
ing is completed, when the soil should be
pressed about the leaves so as to keep the air
out and facilitate blanching. When blanched
it may be lifted for use, or protected TO en-
dure the winter.
