White Celery Sauce

Boil 5 or 6 heads of celery (cutting off the green tops and chop the remainder in inch long bits,) boil in 1 pint of water until tender. Mix 1 tablespoonful of flour with a little milk, and stir into a pint of cream or milk. Add 1 tablespoonful of butter, and pour into the celery. Season with salt and let it just boil up.
