fron tho cold frano or green houso to the
gar don big c limps of dirt can be lifted
rith each plant so that only the ends of
tho roots arc at all disturbed. If tho
plants have been allored fron 10 to 12
, rocks. they s’ otild be fron six'to eight
inches high by transplanting tine.
Celery should bo planted in seed boxes the

does not take a large piece of g nam'd to
raise a groat deal of colcry, tho problem
of irrigation is not as groat as for many
other garden crops.
Celery should be set at least 12 inches
apart in the rors. Double revs rork Out

tion. The subject of putting a concrete
foundation under the building las t year
. ras considered, but due to the fact that
the community had so r.nr.y projects undo-'
ray it ’..'as decided to uostpono this rork
until this year.
