CELERY FOR MARKET.
Cnrefui trimming and washing and
Neat. Attractive Packages.

In removing celery plants from stor-
age they should be cut off il little be-
low the ground, using for that purpose
a sharp knife. Some growers pull the
whole plant up, but this is not neces-
sary. The celery is ot SC apt to be-
come dirty when the roots are cut off
and the plants can be more easily ham
died. The roots will do no damage in
the sand or soil. as ii must be removed
and a new layer put in before the next
crop is stored. The celery is immedi-
ately taken to the place where it is to
be trimmed and washed. Most large
growers have regular washing houses
and racks or trays made of Stats. on
which the celery is placed after being
trimmed. The water is then TUNED on
by means OF Il hose no handling being
necessary except to turn the stalks
over. II the celery is intended for II
nearby market they are generally tied
up in bundles holding either six OF.
twelve stalks. These are then placed
in a crate in upright positions. If
the celery is to be shipped in large
quantities the celery is not often tied
in lunches. but simply packed in an
upright position in the crate
Careful trimming, washing and pack
ing are important. Often a fine quail
ity of celery is ruined by careless ham
ding, and too much stress cannot be
laid upon these factors The neatness
and general appearance of the pack
age are often the means OF a profitable
sale. The growing Of the crop is only
half of the battle and to many truck
ers the easiest one. Poor product well
packed and cleaned generally sells for
more money than fine product poorly
packed and dirty.
