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 ne.xt two 

 months aU the attention required is to keep down weeds. Afterwards earth 

 up a httle, 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 replanted 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.
