GOOD SUCCESS IN
CULTURE OF CELERY
Profitable Plant Is Not as Gener-
ally Grown as 1t Should Be-
Mucky, Damp Soil Is Best.
By W. II. UNDERwooDl

l have good success in growing
celery for the market. and do not be-
heve this profitable plant is as gen.
orally grown as 1t should be.
l plant the seed in bed in May.
after the ground is thoroughly warm.
! make the bed in rich, damp and not
wet, soil, pulverize it as finely as pos
sible and drill the seed scantily in
shallow rows eight inches apart. AS
high as 5000 plants may be secured
from one ounce Of seed.
The seeds germinate slowly, often
taking two weeks or more to appear
above ground. If the weather becomes
dry | partially shade the young plants
with strips Of thin boards.
When three inches high clip on the
tops Of the leaves to make the plants
stocky. In six weeks / transplant into
larger beds, clipping OF the tap roots
as well as leaves, and set them two
inches apart.
In July I set the piants in rows five
feet apart, and eight inches apart In
the row. When about a foot high
begin TO draw earth against the rows
and between the plants. Later this
process 10 repeated Until all the stalks
snd part of the leaves are covered.
This seens the stalks white and ten
der.
When the growing season Ia over
place wide boards along the sides OF
the rows. to bhnch the stalks still
more.
Unless the ground Is richer than is
necessary for most garden vegetables
and is very moist, celery will not give
satisfaction.
Unleached ashes and well rotted
manure are the best fertilizers. and
they must be applied literally.
Mucky or damp black land, properly
drained is best for celery. 1t is USE
less to try TO grow successfully in dry
upland unless the land can be proper
ly irrigated in some way.

Failure in concrste structure can

wrong proportioning OF materials. In
SUFFICIENT mixing. and freezing
In all structures. the foundation is
the first and one of the most import
