Cultivation of Celery.
The following directions for the cultivation
of this excellent vegetable, (which we find in
au exchange paper, uncredited,) are in the
main correct ; but we have known good celery
made from seed sown as late ns June, in this
climate. It shouin be on the• table of every
reader of the Farmer, during the winter and
spring month?, and n;c hope to see more atten
tion paid to its cultiVation hereafter :
Very early in the spring, if the frost is out
of the ground, prepare a >unall bed of light,
rich earth in a warn►, sheltered situation, m
which the seed must be sown fur an early
crop. Break the mould very fine, as the seed
is small, awl rake the surface even ; sow the
seed, but not too thickly, and cover with light
rich would,. about a quarter of an inch deep.
The plauts should be kept thin in the seed-bed,
and picked out when fit upon a surface of
fresh earth - Well immured. They should be
watered and shaded until they take root, and in
drawing from seedbed, let some of the stron
gest plants remain, to be put out for au early
drill. They should be planted out before
they become too strong ; and if they have tic
qUired a large ball of earth and roots, these
and the struggling leaves on the sides should
be cut away, iapart, before planting out to
remain.
Trenches mast be made early in . the summer
(20th June) for the early, and a month later
for the main crop, at four Linda half or live
feet distance, a foot broad and a foot deep.
At the bottom lay four inches of well rotted
dung, digging it in, or placing over it a cover
ing of three inches of rich earth, raked even,
iu which the plants, noir about six inches high,
must be planted six inches apart, taking cure
to remove all side-;hoots. In
.hot weather
the plantation should be made in the evening,
a liberal supply of water should be administer
ed. When the sun is powerful, they should
be shaded until they take root,which will assist
in keeping the soil moist.
As the plants begin to grow hoe them on
each side, and between them, with a small
hoe; and, as they further increase in growth,
proved to earth or blanch them ; in doing
which, the soil to be used should be in a pulver
ized state, and prepared properly with the
spade. The stalks of the out side leaves should
be kept close up, to prevent the earth from
getting between the stems of the out side
leaves and the tinier ones ; for if it be allow
ed to get there, it cheeks the plants and
makes the celery bad. A little earth may be
added every week or ten days, according as
the crop advances, always le,aving about six
inches of-the leaves above the surface of the
soil. Particular attention should be paid in
earthing up, that soil be dry, otherwise it is
apt to rot the plants and render them unfit for
use.
For the autumnal crop the white is superi
or in flavor, but the red is said Ly some to be
better calculated for standing through the win
ter. ' lflong and hard frosts be appr'ehended,
a quantity of celery should/ be taken up and
Ixid iu bed of sand or light earth, in a sited or
celler ; for when the ground is deeply froLcn,
it is sometimes impassible to get it v. ;th out
tearing it to pieces, and it may be kept very
well Tor several weeks in u cellar.--Vett Eng
land Farmer,
Kinis bF Gnvc Cons Fon T.,ntr. R6E.—
Every farmer f und every amateur grower of
horticultural products should plant various
kinds of corn, to be used for boiling or roast
ing, while in its green state. :Now, which are
the best kind 2 Answer—the early Jefferson,
white flour corn, twelve rowed sweet, and
Stowel's evergreen.
The curly Jefferson, if grown a f•w degrees
further South than where seed is procured,
will produce roasting-ears in sixty days from
.the time of planting. The cars are about
eight inches long, and the corn white and a
little flinty, the kernels of good fair size, and
the taste almost sweet.
The white flour rn does net mature for
roasting or boiling liviloscs uudor about nine
ty days. The ears are from nine to eleven in
ches long ; the corn.a dull white, a very little
flinty, kernels fair size, good for, rating green,
and all the overplus, when ripe, will rind in
to meal almost as ivhite and handsome as the
best of wheat.flour.
Thc.twelve rowed sweet corn is an improve
ment on the old common sweet corn, hariLg
larger ears and larger kernels.
The :to yell's Evergrteu is a variety of
Fweet corn that requites longer to • mature
than any other variety. It furnishes a--supply
of green corn very late_in the season,.the ears,
many of them, being suited to boiling in No
vember ; and. if left in shocks iu the field, or
gathered and hung up with the - husks on, is
often good for eating during the Muter.—
Ohio Farmir, March 28.
PLANT ErERGREENS Tlll9 MoNTA.--EVer
green trees and shrubs may be planted at al
most all seasons, but wo decidedly prefer the
middle of 3lay in this latitude, and indeed
anywhere north of Virginia. Further south,
they may be . transplanted a little earlier. As
a general rule, the best tune is when the soil
has become-settled and and somenhat warm
ed, and before the dry seasons ; or when the
young buds are just pushing forth into a new
growth.
In a nother article we hare described some
of the best kinds. .No manure is required for
evergreens. A good loam is the most appro
priate. If a heavy clay or light sand, it is al
ways better to dig ont a space three to five
feet in diameter, according to the size of the
tree to be grown, and fill in good soil at least
one foot, or, better, two feet in depth. In
planting these, or indeed, any kind of trees,
great care should be taken to loosen the soil
welt, and have the hOles - so large that the
roots shall not be cramped in the least, and
&Iwo provide good soil for their extension. A
Mile care of tbis kind will pay well, both in
the more rapid growth and in the longer life
of the tree.
ROW MUCH TIMO7IIY SEED TO AN A CBE.-
I t is a well-known fact that if you do not sow
grass seed, weeds will occupy the spare mound.
It is, therefore, desirable to sow jest as much
seed as, when Miffed out, will cover the entire
surface. If Clover is to be sown with it—as
is a common but erroneous practice, because
they do not ripen together—then twelve quarts
of timothy to an acre Is sufficient. If the
it endows is to be seeded with timothy alone,
use not less than half a bushel of clean seed
to an acre. .
