in the spring there will be plants no duubt from which you have net gathered the sprouts when frost comes by digging them up and setting them in an airy part of the cellar with plenty of soil round the roots you will insure yourself a crop that aill last for several weeks after winter has set in late celery such as giant pascal leaving as much earth as possible adhering to the roots can lie packed in a corner of the cellar where the temperature will remain above freez ing if the cellar be dark the celery will blanch all the better pack the root close together and cover them with fresh garden soil if you make a fairly largo bed you will probably find it desirable to surround it with boards to keep the soil in place on cement floors a covering of several inches of fine and preferably some what moist garden soil is necessary before you set the roots in place trimming the ragged outside leaves will heip to keep the celery in better conditicn under favorable circum stances celery so packed will last until well after new years day rhubarb easy to force one of the easiest vegetables to force in the winter is rhubarb late in tho fall dig roots that are several years old and leave them in a pile out of doors until the are frozen hard after the first of the year bury bury them an inch or two deep in moist sand in boxes or in the cellar floor and keep them well watered if the cellar be dark then stalks will he light colored with very small reddish leaves a blanket hung across the corner of the cellar will keep the light out or if there are only a few plants a ventilated box set over them will serve the same purpose the stalks will be ready to use in- from four to eight weeks if cu wish to force rhubarb more rapidly dig a trench a foot deep and put a layer of fresh horse manure at the bottom and cove it with two inches of loam roots set a foot apart in such a trench and carefully packed with earth will grow so rapid ly that you can make a cutting in three weeks many gardeners who have been successful in forcing rhubarb do not realize that asparagus can be grown in the cellar just as easily you can begin to force asparigus as soon as you wish in the fall for freezing the roots is not necessary follow the same plan as in the eese of hubarb except that it is not necessary to darken the ellar roots that are three or four years old yield the best returns once you have forced them however they are worthless lack of asparagus and rhubarb plants in your garden need not be a serious obstacle for you can buy tho roots at small expense of seedsmen and other dealers you can very eas ily increase your supply of rhubarb by dividing the larger roots either in the spring or in the fall they are gross feeders and need a liberal sup ply of manure worked into
