About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1916. Not illustrated.

The muck should be friable and not too full of coarse pieces of wood. It seems to be an advantage to have the soil neutral. Therefore if the soil responds to an acid test, it might be necessary to apply lime, from one to two tons an acre. The soil should be at least 12 to 18 inches deep for the best growth of this plant.

If the water table is deeper sometimes water deficiency during droughty periods results. Five of the most important reasons why a soil as mentioned above is especially adapted to celery follow: 1. Because these soils would be relatively moist. 2. Because these soils would be fertile. 3. Because these soils would be loose. 4. Because these soils would be friable. 5. Because, being friable, they are easily worked, thus reducing the cost. The greenhouse and plant shed at Sunset Farms. How to Start Plants.--A small greenhouse or hotbed should be available for forcing the early plants. The soil contained in these forcing structures should be of a mucky nature similar to that where the plants are to be placed outside. The seed may be planted in this specially prepared soil in one of two ways: In" rows 2 inches between rows, where the seed is placed in small furrows, the furrows not being more than Vi inch in depth. The other method is to broadcast the seed over the surface of the soil. With the last Greenhouse of C. C. Mowris, ...
