Cttlture.— 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 els€ 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 olten grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, and plants 6 Jiiches 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.
