To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is hardly worth while to attempt growing a summer variety, as the plant almost always fails to head well in hot weather, but a late crop can be grown to advantage. If plants have not headed by the time the ground freezes, take them up with a large quantity of soil adhering to their roots, pack them solidly into boxes, and put them in the cellar or cold- frame if the latter can be kept warm enough to permit growth. Much warmth is not needed, but frost should be kept out. The cellar is, all th...ings considered, the safest place for them. Here they will form small heads of delicious tenderness during the winter. 89 The Home Garden CELERY The following abridgment from the direc- tions given by Professor Graves in his recent work on "Celery Growing for Profit" sums up the culture of this popular plant in a few words and a practical way: In the latter part of February fill a shallow box with clean, mellow loam. Press it down well before putting any seed into it. Apply water enough to make the soil evenly moist all through.
