By rolling or pressing in the seed the result will be more satisfactory than when covered. Cut the tops off once or twice before planting out, to make them stocky. When the plants are 5 or 6 inches high, transplant, the dwarf varieties 3 feet, and the taller sorts 4 feet between the rows, plants 6 inches apart in the rows.

The Celeriac swells like a turnip, and may be preserved in sand through the winter. To store for winter use, select well-drained ground, dig trenches 1 foot wide and deep enough to cover the tops of the plants. Pack the stalks in this in an upright position, covering with boards to shed the water, and in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. Early Arlington. A variety of the Boston market.
