Celery is unsurpassed as a money

conditions. The market is constant and
prices at the lowest will return profit
Of $500 to $1,000 an acre for good

A celery grower must make up his
mind at the outset that water has to be
provided in case Of drought. Without
a regular system Of irrigation it may
be necessary to haul water to the field
in barrels number Of times, but this
work will be fully paid for in the extra
quality of the celery crop. On account
Of the possibility Of having to haul wa
ter it is best to locate the celery patch
close to the well.
Celery is naturally swamp plant
and thrlves best in a moist, rather cool
soil, but such land is not always avail
able, and the higher and drier soils
have to be used. For this crop apply

old, we'll rotted manure to land at the
rate Of ten tons to the acre, which may
be supplemented with commercial fer
tlizer containing ammonia, to per
cent; available phosphoric acid, per
cent; potash, per cent, applied broad
cast after blowing at the rate of half a
ton to the acre. Plow the land as
deeply as possible. Celery requires
good feeding to produce a marketable
crop. .,...s.@
It is a good plan to plow In the ma
nure in the fall and harrow literally in
the spring. If commercial fertilizer is
used it should be applied before har-
rowing. Go over the ground few
times with smoothing harrow, each
time in a different direction, and be
sure the soil is fine and even.
Then mark out the rows four feet
apart. The markings need not be deep
nor wide. Any ordinary one horse
corn marker or lister may be used. By
all means keep the rows straight and
uniform. Just as soon as the ground is
ready to receive the plants and they
are ready to be set out, say about the
LIST Of June, the work should proceed
without unnecessary delay. Let each
planter have dibbler or stick to make
hole in which to put the plant and
see that he takes pains to firm the soil
we'll around the roots. The plants
should be set about five or six inches
apart in double rows. On the whole, it
is an easy matter for people who are
accustomed to such work to set out
plants in this kind Of soil.
Where pretty large field is being
planted to celery good results have
been attained in the following way:
Mark Off rows four feet apart and fur
row with stirring pillow, turning the
ridges in the same direction. Set the
plants six inches apart in the side Of
the furrow next the ridge. In subse-
quent cultivation keep the burrows
open and use them as bitches for wa
ter In case Of drought Permit no
weeds to grow and cultivate the ground
after each application of water. rs
When the plants have attained the
proper size for use the leaves are
brought into an upright position by
boards placed on either side of the
row, so that they slope toward the
plants at the top, or else by dirt drawn
against the plants and packed firmly
around them. The object of this is to
cause the leaves to take an upright
position and exclude the light from the
heart of the plant so that the latter
growth is white or bleached. The proc
ess Of bleaching requires from two to
four weeks. Plants may be set out at
any time and seed may be started in
the house.
Celery is difficult to handle in small
garden on account of the amount of
soil required to hill it up in the fall.
This problem has been solved by plant
ing four rows Of celery in foot deep
trench with two rows of sweet corn on
either side of it. The corn is of by
the time the celery needs killing and
the soil from the corn is available.
Celery must have length Of stalk to
be fancy, and unless the grower pro-
duces fancy good, fancy prices cannot
be obtained. Cultivation IS the only
way to produce long stalks of celery.
Frequent stirring of the soil aids the
plants to get hold of their food. It
gives life to the soil and promotes
thrift and luxuriance.
