HARTWELL'S PERFECTION Sellerie, Ger. Apio, Sp. Celeri, Fr, 1 Ofc. to 2,000 seeds. For 2irices on Celery Plants, see Vegetable Plant List. Celeiy delights and thrives best in a muck land, but can bo grown in any good garden soil, with proper cultivation. However rich and "mucky" the land may be, it is positively essential to good crops that it be annually fertilized with about two inches of well-rotted stable mam^re, carefully plowed under. Amjile moisture must also be provided for. Sow the seed in the open ground in April, or as soon as ground can be worked, for general crop; for early fall crop in hot-beds or house, in Febi'uary or March. Prepare the soil well, and sow In drills a quarter inch deep and about ten inches apart, taking care to fiimly press the soil over the seed. When about two inches high, after careful hardening, thin and transplant to two inches apart each way. Later dig broad trenches 4 feet apart and 4 to 6 inches deep, or they may be set on level ground, and when large enough, trim off the tops (to render stocky) and enough of the roots to admit of straight planting, and set in the trenches 6 inches apart, covering to the cr^ivn only. Thickness, rather than length of stalk, indicates the proper time for transplanting; the increase being mainly in height after that process is begun. Close the stalks carefully, and draw the earth about one third the height of the plant and firm it, taking care that none falls in upon the heart. Repeat the process every few days thereafter until the leaves are reached. When weather is warm enough to cause rusting of the stalks in banking, boards may be used for blanching purposes. Always use a cloudy day for transplanting, but never work among plants when wet. To store for winter, select thoroughly drained ground and dig t
