CELERY.
PLANTING IT OUT. The planting out of celery usually extends from tlie encl of the present month until well into January, or even later, trenches that have been prepared for early planting should now he in' good condition. With tlie exception of the self-bleaching and turnip-rooted varieties, well prepared and heavily manured trenches offer the most successful means of culture. By this method not only is the manure confined to where the plants can derive tlie greatest benefit from its use, but the moisture is better retained during dry weather. In transplanting from the boxes to the trenches it is important that the plants be lifted with a good ball of earth attached to the roots so that they receive as little check as possible. After planting, water sufficiently so as to well moisten the soil and lightly shade to prevent the plants from wilting.
