esparimen How to Grow and How to Stole Oelery. ' Assnminfe that . the plants' were started to a hot bed in March or .•Apyil, - aud ;that they are' "stocky," they may be transplanted early in. July, into the trenches. These should be dug to a -depth of ,two or more feet, then filled to within a foot of the top with equal parts of well rot ted manure and rich earth.. If-the seedbe thoroughly soaked the plants can be moved with little injury to the roots. Yid:, in his excellent 47limthly Jfagarine, says: "Sort them (meaning the : plants) so that all min one tow will be of about equal height„aa this is often of considera- •.1 ble 'advantage in after culture and. ehrthing pp. Disturb the roots as little as possible, and take off only -Any straggling leaf or bruised leaf -stalk; ltbund. up the . earth in the lottomof the trench, so that any earth washing from the sideswill fall in the little alleys, and not smother . ' c the plants. • , •If the work thus - far has been well done the plants will need but* little . ' more care until late in the autumn. Hoeing will be necessary .to lighten the earth, or a soaking of water once or twice ~luring the summer, in a dry • time,' but hoeing is better Ulan wa tering. Do not earth up until Octo ber, but add a little earth occasional ly when honing, as you - would hoe - , t•arth.up to a cabbage pla6t 'or hill . of corn. sever touch - or hoe Celery Ni hen damp" with dew or rain, or on . moist dayai.aud always avoid get . ting soil irittc - the heart of the plant. Make, the trenches five feet apart, and set the plants about one foot apart. In September or October earth up to the lowest leaf, but cover no. leaf. In two weeks another banking will be -necessary. - Before hard frosts Celery must be `stored for winter, And this is an pOrtant matter, for it is'easy to d'e stroy a good'erop bfimproper . treat ment. We will give two plans, either 'of which is good, or, at least, has sueceeded with us. Dig a trench about the width of a spade and a few inches deeper than the height of the celerY:. The place selected must be high_ground, where no,water will be at the bottom, and where surface wa: to will not drain into the* trench. Take up the celery with any dirt that adheres to the root. Set the stalks .close together, and close tothe sides of the trench, but do not. Press them in. After the trench is filled,' place pieces of boaril or scantling across it at. intervals of five 'or six feet: On these place boards five or six • feet long, covering the entire trench. Then cover the boards with straw ot leaves betbre wry severe frost, bid: not until the ground is pretty well ,frozen, and keep adding as the cold increases. .The work is then..eoin illeted. When celery is needed, take up a length of short boards, and re move enough Celery to the Cellar to last a few days; and place it in the • coolest part, covered with earth. Re place the.boards and covering as :.be fore. • - , Another way is to select a- place on sloping, ground, and this is• best for either plan. Dig a trench two • fi:et deep and one, 'foot in -i'idth. ' Place the celery plants in this trench, throwing in the earth and treading it firmly around the roots to a depth of about six inches. For the remain der of the distance throw in the earth 11 , 41itly, so that when the trench is • :filled the tops of the leaves. will be a few ineliesabovethe-trench,on thesur ,, face of the ground. As many trenches ' as are needed are ; made, about a foot apart) When the ground has frozen about three inches deep cover bed with straw. Celery must be free from moisture when. stored for Winter, or - it will be likely to rot. Dig at any time,.taking up enough j for a week or so at a time. - It can•be kept in a cool place ju • damp sand ;• .but a gOocr way is to wash the stalks entirely clean without cutting the • roots, then stand them erect in a bar • ref and pOur dti clld water sour, : three inches in depth, or more, so as to just ever the roots, and set the barrel where it will be as cold. as „possible without actually freezing. In: this condition it will -keep fresh for eight or ten days. In handling celery_ the greatest • cleanliness must be - observed„ If • dirty •water is allowed. to come int contact with the tender parts, great. injury,. both to plant and appearance, is the inevitable j result. What kinds shall we plant? is a ' A questionot very difficult to answer, for we now have so many good sorts .that the old,- . poor ones are pretty much discarded. We are partial to the dwarf kinds. • .The pink and red sorts are beautiful. and -lust as good the white.. We also show the tut.- nip -rooted variety, the bulbous root only eing eatible." FAILURES IN TREE PLANTING.- are yariou,4 causes of- failure .:m,setting, - out. trees. 'Taking them up badly; elippping off the roots too much ; allowing them .to _dry; before replanting; leaving too mueli head neglect of due preparation of soil ; digging the holes too small ;."omitting to press the earth firmly arcnand-:the ,roots; allowing the . wind to .move, them backward forward, disturb ing the fibers. This is a - sufliciently „ formidable catalogue of 611 s, but . •iherels yet another cause oF' failure, more fruitful than any yeo, named, `;:nil that is planting too deeply. On WI account , should a tree .ever be • planted lower down in the earth than it was before, and if moved from a .dry -soil to a moist one, it should be :et shallower. In fact it is better to trr, if at all, on the aide of . :kiss, because the law of growth will (itntrect,that evil, while there ist no rr it oily for toe deep planting. A rue soon adapts itself to its position, if not set too far down into the Xlien the surface is dry, the roots naturally descend in search 6 1 .. moisture, anti .will ; keep going down -till they find it.- When the soil-is wet the roots will run along the surface. Too deep planting is burial. The roots are out of reach ,of sun and air, and though. the tree may struggle for awhile it will event - unity die.
