The Old Method Contrasted With the New and Better One. Any person who has ever grown his own celery suceess™lly has no desire to eat any other, and there is no rex son why any one who his the room te grow it xlould not have bis own win ter supply. says the Cincinnati Eo quirer. The old method was to dig a trenct a foot and a hall deep, which was fil ed with gocd loamy soil and stabic manure, in which the yu f were set. The first obje was that these young | shaded part of the time uutil the grew up to the top of the tren b, and in the effort to accomplizh this nature grew them so rapidly that the stalis grew long and slender and the « rown- did not bush out as they should. time to time. as the plants grew, th. soil from the sides of the neh was filled in about them, nsing the hand to get it about the stalks. which wax back breaking work at the Lest. As the plants emerged from the trench the soil was ridged about them fre quently until growth stopped. when they were allowed to stand until bleached. Compare this with the new way: Select a strip of mellow sandy soil, following potatoes is good if the latter were fertilized heavily. Dig the soil to the width of two feet, as deep as the top soil, working in as much stable manure as it will take, not putting it deep down in the furrow as you dig. but laying it halfway up the furrow. so that when covered it will be not more than four inches from the top of the soil, as we desire the fibrous roots to luxuriate in this later on. If you have the time or assistance it will benefit this soll if it be trenched before digging. To do this, throw it out clear down to the subsoil for a width of two feet on the side of the row and allow it to lie a week and then put it back and allow it to lie another week be- fore digging. This must be done as soon as the soil can be worked and not when the weather gets warm, as the soll should not be ezposed to the hot sun. Sunshine kills vast numbers of the beneficial soil bacteria, without which no soil is fertile. There is no use In digging up the ground between the celery roots, as this space need only be kept free from weeds and Is used as a path as well. Of course the celery seeds should for an early crop be sown in the house or greenhouse in flats thinly, and when they have shown their third leaf thin them out to two inches apart in the flats and shear them off a-half inch above the crowns to make them stool out. The more branches you get the more heart there will be to the celery. The seedlings should be kept in a warm, light place, but not in the direct rays of the sun, or they will become spindling in spite of all you can do. They may remain in the flats until time to transplant them to the open ground, but if you have not too many to handle it will repay you to shift them into other flats, allowing them to set three inches apart and set them out about the first week of June. The rows should be leveled off before the planting is begun and the plants set level with the top and just as deep as they set in the flats. It is the inten- tion to grow them “flat” just the same as beans or peas. The soil is worked about them, but never ridged up or al- lowed to have access to the heart of the plants, There is a reason for this method of celery growing, or, rather, a number of them. The one which suggested it is the fact that all the diseases of a fun gous nature which afflict celery carry thelr spores in the soil, and it is these spores coming into contact with the plants which cause heart rot, brown rot and anthracnose, all of which ren- der the celery plants unsightly and of- ten unsalable. You have often noticed the brown on the ribs of the outer stems of celery? This is caused by anthracnose, a fungous disease. the spores of which are carried in the soil, and when the soil is banked agalnst the-plants these spores find a Jodgment thereon and develop with the result stated. All this we avoid in growing celery “flat” and keeping the soil away from it. In addition, the celery plant, like others, develops best in the full light, sunshine and air, and it gets all of these when it is allowed to grow nor- mally as any other plant would.
