Maule's Celery 



Culture — Celery seed is slow to germinate, and ample time must be given. 

 Sow thinly in early spring and cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on 

 about 400 plants to a packet of seed, about 7,500 plants per ounce or quarter pound 

 per acre. When the seedling plants are 3 inches high they should be clipped at the 

 top, to favor stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is mostly grown under 

 flat culture, without trenches, in rows 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart in row. For 

 home use celery is often grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, and plants 6 inches 

 apart in each row, allowing 4 feet of space before setting out another double row. 

 This will permit soil for banking for winter storage without lifting. Ready for 

 use in 110 to 140 days.

188 Celeriac 



189 Maule's American Yellow Celery 



Or Turnip-Rooted Celery. 120 days 



Culture is the same as celery; as the roots are the 

 edible portion, it requires no hilling. The large roots 

 are smooth, without any side roots, globular in shape.

 pleasant celery taste. Fit for the table in 120 days.
