Il am just in from preparing my celery
beds Having fixed up my cold frame and
finished sowing my celery seed, conclud-
Cd ] would 90 in and fix up the beds
where expect TO grow my celery. 1t will
h. five or six weeks yet before the plants
will be large enough to set out in the beds,
hut as I had no other work pressing, con-
.uded. as the soil was in good working
condition and the air cold and bracing, to
"a ahead and get the beds in ship-shape,
and then be all ready and have nothing
else to do when the time comes than to
set out the plants This year | made the
border of my celery beds with 10-inch
plank instead of 6-inch. Ten-inch plank
is little better, as it allows of packing
IN the straw better when the time comes
TO bleach the celery / believe | have de-
scribed the bed plan of growing celery
before This is the plan for southern
gardeners. for there is no difficulty in
growing as nice celery as anybody need
have. Anyone who has few square
yards of good land can have a celery bed.
If the bed is made so that you can get on
both sides of it, it can be made or Az
feet wide; but if made along the fence
and approachable only on one side three
feet is wide enough Make the beds say
four feet wide and long as you choose.
Border with 6-inch or even 4-inch plank
if 10-nch is not handy. Dig up the soil
uttI4A anu NOIh III d SOOQ supply Ol any
good old compost manure that has thor
oughly rotted-that will not heap up again.
Through one means or another make the
bed rich. Level the soil and firm it well
by roller or tamper. Check the bed 10x10
or lVX6 inches, and in each check set a
strong, stocky plant pressing the soil
firmly to the roots For the early or sum-
mer crops the setting out will be in Feb
fuary or March. For winter celery plants
are made ready and set out in same man
ner in September and October of course
Tor this mode of culture only the drawf
KINDS are used-the white plume or gold
On dwarf. If one has facilities for irriga-
ting at all fine celery becomes an assured
Aning and it is only those who have that
can make Its culture for market the prof.
taoie venture it ought to be. Celery re-
CURES an immense amount of water-as
Much perhaps as caulifiower. 1t is only
question OF plenty of water, and the mat
