in the open any time from early may to middle june depend ing on the season or the district lnnich it is grown a rich moist cool soil is best for celery so much soils which supply an abundance of water for the crop have been found especially suited to the growth of this crop more particu larly when liberal manuring has been done the plants are usually set in rows four fcetapart and six inches apart in the rows either in trenches six inches deep or on the level depending which wanching system is used as the object in growing celery is to obtain plants of good size and well blanched an experiment was started in 1923 at the dominion experimental station kapuskaslng ontario to com pare the results in carlinesstcrispness blanching flavor and yield from different methods of blanching the results from this experiment would seem to indicate thateelerymay be f airly welltmancned by cither ready roofing boards earthing up on the level or planting in trenches and filling these afterwards earthing up that grown in the double alternated rowaiidblahche6rwlth has given the largest yield but it is for sur passed by both that produced in trenches and that earthed upon the level particu larly the former that planted on the level and blanched with boards has given the lowest yield and the quality has also been rather poor the use of- boards and tar paper or roofing paper has the decided advantage of requiring less labor and the rows may also be planted much closer together if the best quality is desired however the blanching must be done by earthing up preferably in trenches speed for speeds sake some one has described much modern activity as going nowhere at sixty miles an hdur we are inclined to make too much of speed for speeds sake it is more important to get somewhere in a hurry provided we have something worth while to do when we arrive saving time for which we haye no use however is little better than wasting time speed that frees time and energy for
