Celery and SWeet Corn 



CELERY. 



Celeri. Apia. ©ederie. 



One ounce will sow about joo feet of a row and produce about 5,000 plants. 



Sow in the open border early in April in rich ground, pressing the seed down rather than covering 

 with soil. 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. 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 apart in the rows. After the planting is completed, nothing further is 

 necessary for six or seven 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 

 uppight and prevent them from spreading, using care to prevent the soil falling into the heart of the plant.
