Celery 



One ounce will furnish 3,000 to 5,000 plants 



Celery is a crop that requires a very long season. If an early crop 

 is to be grown from seeds, the latter must be started indoors in boxes 

 about the last of February, the plants being set in the ground, 6 inches 

 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 have a seed bed and to 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.
