42 VESEY STREET, NEW YORK CITY 



CELERY 



Celerri. Apio. Sellerie. 

 One ounce will sow about 300 feet of a row and produces about 5000 plants. 



Sow in the ropen border early in April in rich ground, pressing 

 the seed down rather than covering with soU. When the plants 

 are 3 inches high, transplant 4 inches apart into temporary beds 

 of soft, rich soil until they acquire sufficient strength for planting 

 out. Tf they grow too quickly before needed for planting out, shear 

 the tops off when about 4 inches in height, and they will grow 

 more stocky. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, and set 8 inches apart in 

 the rows. After the planting is completed, nothing further is nec- 

 essary for 6 or 7 weeks, except running through between the rows 

 with the cultivator or hoe, and freeing the plants from weeds. 

 About the middle of August earthing up is necessary for blanching 

 and whitening of that which is wanted for early use. After the 

 soil has been drawn up against the plant with the hoe, it is further 

 pressed close around each plant by the hand, firm enough to keep 

 the leaves upright and prevent them from spreading, using care to 

 prevent the soil falHng into the heart of the plant.
