Crosby’s Original Boston Market Celery. 
CELERY. Sellert, (GER.) Apios, (Sp.) 
Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the plaats 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 trans- Lees 
planting. 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 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.
