CELERY. 



Celeri, Fr. 



Apio, Sp. 



One ounce w!ll produce from 5000 to 10,000 plants. 



Culture. — For early or summer Celery sow seed of the self-blanching sorts in fiats under glass during February, and prick out, 

 singly or in sections of row, into other flats, frames, or in nursery row in the open, selecting soil in the highest state of cultivation. 

 In May to June, set the plants in very rich and well-prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows, and rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Give 

 thorough and clean cultivation, and blanch by means of boards set up against the rows. For later and winter Celery, start seed of 

 standard sorts either in flats as for early, only a little later, or directly into open ground. Make the rows for plants 1 foot apart; 



sow seed shallow and firm well. The rows in which 

 the plants are to be set are 4 to 5 feet apart. Blanch 

 by earthing up gradually clear to within a few inches 

 of tip of leaves. For winter storage, take up the 

 plants with roots, and place upright on wet soil in a 

 dark cellar or root-house, packing closely.
