FAt no time since the settlement of

irrigation which insures good yield

swamp or march land, is recommend
ed. Celery grown on upland is gen
orally considered to be Of better quail
ity, while on the moist lowlsnds it
makes the better growth. Celery
seed germinstes slowly, requiring
twelve or fourteen days. For the
early crop it is usual to plant the seeds
in February or March in shallow flats
filled with loan. The seeds are
sown on the surface and little dirt
sifted over them. The soil should
be kept moderately moist. The flats
may be stacked one upon the other
until termination begins, or they
may be covered with paper or like
material and placed under the green
house bench or in the kitchen window.
When the plants begin to germinate,
they should be gradually accustomed
to the light. The plants are usually
transplanted once or twice in boxes,
the hotbed or cold frames before be-
ing set in the field. According to
Professor Taft of the Michigan sta
ton, seed for garden celery in the
north should be sown early in the
spring. A level spot should be
selected or made rich with rotted
manure.
