Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Cultivate and Preserve Celery
Even animals have been forced to develop to excess the parts most suitable for human food, at the expense of those the least valuable. Thus the apple and peach, which in their original wild state aimed only to produce their seed, have by art been made to surround that seed with a mass of pulp, which is made greater in quantity, and more luscious in ?avor, according to the treatment we bestow upon the trees. Asparagus, in its natural state a sea-side grass, spindling in size and useless for food, has when transplanted into the gar den and carefully cultivated been made to produce thick, tender, succulent stalks, and is now one of our most delicious vegetables. So with celery. In its wild.
