R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
CELERY. 
Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the plants are 3 
inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them 4 inches apart. When grown 
6 inches, and fine stocky plants, set in richly manured, deep soil, in rows 3 feet apart, and about 
9 inches from plant to plant. Water, if dry weather follows transplanting. During the next 
two months all the attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth up a little, 
and continue doing so at intervals until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in Autumn. 
Never hoe or earth up when the plants are wet. To keep celery in Winter they may be re- 
planted into a cool cellar, allowing fully 3 inches of soil on the floor. Stand the plants in rows 
not more than 9 inches apart and partition off with boards equal to the height of the plants. 
They will be ready for use in January. 1 ounce of seed produces about 4,000 plants.
