Hend in cylinders which should l)eabout 5 inches in diameter, and Vl inches long. With small tacks fasten theedges together, lapjjing one inch. The tacks will hold better if there is aninch strip of the same material on the inside of the cylinder, where the lapis tacked. Use a two foot piece of two-inch gas j)ipe as a anvil, on which tonail, fastening one end firmly in a vice. Now first lay the strij) on thegas pipe, then place the lap directly over this strij), the cylinder encirclingthe pipe, and drive tacks through the three thicknesses, and clinch on gaspipe. Use about six tacks to each Blanching Celery willi Tubes. Next have your tinner make an Enfolder of light, galvanized .sheetiron. No. -29 as follows :- Hend two strips of sheet-iron in form of half cylinders, so that whenplaced with coiicav(> sides towards each other they will form a completecylinder. The |)roper si/e of strips is .) inches wide, and eighteen inches .?8 long. These will form a tube in two parts, 3^/2 inches in diameter. Attachlight hinges by riveting them inside of the half tubes, in such way that thetwo halves can be easily opened or closed. For use, gather the leaves and stems of the celery in left hand, then withopen cylinger in right hand, press the open face close against the plant, andas it is closed encircle the plant. Now drop the blanching tube over enfoldingcylinder and all, and then withdraw the enfolding cylinder—and the plantis snugly placed within the blanching cylinder. It is easily and quickly done.
