Description
Photograph of a celery field in the Playa Del Rey District, 1925. Rows of short celery plants grow on the field at center. A thin stream of water flows across the foreground and seeps through the paths between the plants. A hoe lies in the soil in front of the stream in the foreground with a large cloth beneath it. A man can be seen with another gardening tool tending to the plants in the background. A short, grassy hill stands behind the field in the distance.
