CELERY. One ounce will produce about 5000 plants. Culture.—Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in shallow boxes, or in a finely prepared seed bed out of doors, in straight rows, so that the small plants may be kept free from weeds. See to it that the seed bed is kept moist, almost wet, until the seeds germinate, as plenty of moisture is essen- tial to get a satisfactory growth. When about two inches high thin out and transplant so that they may stand two inches apart, and when the plants are four inches high cut off the tops, which will cause them to grow stocky. The crop is usually made to succeed some earlier crop, and if good plants are used they may be set out as late as the middle of August; but the best results are usually obtained from setting about the middle of June or the first of July. In setting, prepare broad, shallow trenches about six inches deep and four feet apart, in which the plants should be set six inches apart, cutting off the outer leaves and pressing the soil firmly about the roots. When the plants are nearly full-grown they should be "handled," which is done by one man gathering the leaves together, while a second draws the earth about the plant to one-third its height, taking care that non6 of the earth falls between the leaves, as it would be likely to cause them to rust or rot. After a few days draw more earth about them, and repeat the process every few days until only the tops of the leaves are visible, or the leaves may be pressed together by two wide boards held firmly a few inches apart by cross-ties and stakes, when in a few days more they will be fit for use. Care should be taken that
