Celery

With a good heart, nicely blanched, is generally eaten raw and is usually served with the cheese.
Let the roots should be washed and free from dirt, any decayed and outside leaves being cut off, preserving as much of the stalk as possible and all specks or blemishes being carefully removed.
If the celery is large, divide it lengthwise into quarters and place it, root downwards, in a celery-glass, which should be rather more than half filled with water.
The top leaves may be curled, by shredding them in narrow strips with the point of a clean skewer, at a distance of about 10cm (4 inches) from the top.

Sufficient: Allow 2 heads for 4 or 5 persons.
Seasonable from October to April.

Note: This vegetable is exceedingly useful for flavouring soups, sauces, etc. and makes a very nice addition to winter salad..
