One ounce of Celery seed will produce from 5,000 to 10,000 plants. 



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

 ingly or in sections of row, into other flats, frames, or in nursery row in the open, selecting soil in the highest slate of cultivation, 

 (n May to June, set the plants in very rich and well prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows, and rows 3 or 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 

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

 iow seed shallow and firm well. The rows in which the plants are to be set are 4 or 5 feet apart. Blanch by earthing up gradu
