Culture—Sow the early varieties In a cold-frame, the late sorts in the open ground, early in April, and in June and July transplant respectively, un the surface of the ground, thoroughly enriched and cultivated before- hand lay out lines 3 feet apart, no trenches, as was formerly the custom. Set the plants in these rows, about 5 inches apart. Until about the middle of August the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in dry weather. Earthing up may then begin and continue as long as the plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. Several methods of bleaching early varieties are to be recommended—banking the soil, 1-inch clay tile, heavy wrapping paper, or boards. The early varieties are best bleached with boards, owing to the disease commonly called rust. which attacks plants about this period, and is avoided by the exclusion of light and air, the celery being ready for use in 15 to 18 days. For late varieties earthing up becomes necessary after Sept. 20th, as frost may ap- pear any niglit and destroy the crops, where boards, tile or paper are used. The banking of earth is the best protection against frost. As winter ap- proaches the banks may be covered vith boards and a good covering of leaves. Varieties given in order of maturity.
