One ounce of seed will produce about two thousand plants. For an early supply start seed 

 of an early variety indoors in flats during February. Cover with sand and keep moderately 

 moist, because celery seed is rather slow to germinate. For a later supply start with a winter 

 variety, sowing any time between the middle of March and April 1st. Celery requires a moder- 

 ately rich, well-prepared soil to grow to perfection. Proper blanching before use is very 

 important.
