he is now one of the strongest of the

HOME GROWN CELERY.

No vegetable that came from our gar
den the past year gave a greater meas
ure Of satisfaction ays proved more
toothsome delicacy than the product of
a small bed ssof celery. If early celery
Is desired, the seed should be sown in
q box indoors or in a hotbed, the
plants being transferred to the open
ground as soon as the weather permits.
Transplanting gives a stocky and Wig
orous plant. We have found very
satisfactory arrangement for the celery
bed to be as fellows: Dig a trench of
the width and length desired and. to a
depth of about eight or ten inches;
work into the soil at the Bottom sew
eral wheelbarrow loads Of we'll rotted
manure, setting the plants in rows
about ten inches apart and about eight
inches apart in the row. Being in the
trench and below the surface of the
ground, the bed does not dry out rap
idly. while, the watering of the bed is
greatly simplified. During the period
of early growth the bed should be hoed
and kept free from weeds. When about
twelve or fourteen inches high killing
should be begun, the earth taken from
the trench at the start being returned.
With this method no boards are neces-
sary. Two or three killings should be
given, care being taken each time to
keep the earth from getting into the
crown of the plant. Celery raised in
the manner described is as much supe-
rior to that found on, the market as is
full cream cheese to the skinniest
skim milk product The golden, self
blanching variety has proved most sat
isfactory.
