CELERY. During the past two or three years very successful crops of celery have been made in the South, setting out the plants even as late as the first of October. We ad- vise our growers to try these late plantings more gene- rally, as in that way the hot, dry weather, so injurious to celery, is avoided, and the crop comes in just when celery is most appreciated, and usually sells at the highest prices. Culture.—Sow in February, March or beginning of April in rows in a bed of fine rich soil, and if dry enough, press the soil firmly with a roller or the back of the spade. Keep the seed-bed well watered, as celery germinates very slowly. Transplant from July to October. Celery does best in a moist, mucky soil, or in situations where plenty of water may be had. To prepare a bed, throw out the earth to a depth of six inches and four or five feet wide, and put in three or four inches of well-rotted manure, dig in well, and cover with fine soil. Set the plants six to eight inches apart, in rows one foot apart press the soil firmly to the roots, and when the plants are large enough earthing up can be commenced. Thf plants will need to be earthed up two cr three times, and in doing this care should be taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe cold weather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and place boards on top. In such a bed the stalks will b'anch perfectly, and may be taken out during the winter for sale tr use, as required. One cunce of seed will produce about two thousand plants.
