 or crown-rot. The crisp, tender stalks are broad and 

 the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage.

 stands low temperatures when planted out without bolt-

Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore 

 should be started indoors in boxes from February to April 

 or sown out of doors in a finely prepared seed bed during 

 April. See that the seed is covered only about 1/16 inch 

 and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet until the seeds 

 germinate. "When the plants are about two inches high 

 thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three 

 inches apart each way. These must be kept entirely free 

 from weeds and when they are four inches high the tops 

 may be cut off so that the plants will grow more stocky. 

 The plants are usually set out in the permanent bed when 

 five inches high and it is usually best to do this during 

 July or the first of August. In some sections best results 

 are obtained by transplanting in June. 



The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and 

 well enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded 

 in deeply, the rows being spaced 2% to 3 feet apart. Cut 

 off some of the root and set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart 

 in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them 

 frequently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty 

 of moisture. 



When the plants are nearly full grown they should be 

 blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about 

 the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being care- 

 ful not to allow any of the earth to fall between the 

 leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only 

 the top of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb the 

 plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is 

 liable to result in injury from rust. 



Number of days indicates time from setting plants. 

 Add 60 days for days required from sowing of seed.
