CELERY 
CELERI. Apio. Sellerie. 
One ounce will sow about 300 feet of a row and pro- 
duces about 5,000 plants. 
Sow in the open border early in April in rich ground, press- 
ing the seed down rather than covering with soil. When the 
plants are 3 inches high, transplant 4 inches apart into tem- 
porary beds of soft, rich soil until they acquire sufficient 
strength for planting out. If 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 apartintherows. After the plant- 
ing is completed, nothing further is necessary for six or seven 
weeks, except running through between the rows with the cul- 
tivator 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 falling into the heart 
of the plant.
