Currie’s Improved Chantenay 
CELERY 
1 ounce will furnish 3,000 to 5,000 plants 
For an early crop from seeds, start indoors in boxes about the last of February, 
the plants being set in the ground, 6” apart, in May. The crop should be ready 
in August. Celery for winter may be grown from seeds started in the open 
ground in late April, but it is advisable to haye a seed bed and fo transplant 
the seedlings to the open field when large enough. It is well to cut off the 
lower half of the roots at transplanting time, and firming the soil around the 
plants is very important.

All American Trials, 1937)—A new
