CELERY.
Sow seed in open ground, in light, sandy soil, in April, and thoroughly firm the soil;
keep shaded, moist and clean of weeds. Clip the tops two or three times, to make the
plants stocky, before transplanting, which should be done in July, in trenches eight
inches deep and three feet apart for dwarf and four for tall varieties. Firm the earth
well about the roots when setting, and cultivate thoroughly. Bleach by earthing up
by degrees in the field or by banking in a cool cellar.
