Collards 



One ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants. 



Culture — For an early supply, sow seeds of early varieties in flats 

 during February. Celery seed is of slow germination and the surface of the 

 flats should be kept constantly moist. Cover the seeds with sand rather 

 than soil because sand will not grow hard or bake. When the young seedlings 

 are big enough to be handled, transplant them into other flats, 2 to 3 inches 

 apart each way. 



Harden gradually and by middle of April set out in the garden in rows 

 3 feet apart with 6 inches between the plants in the row. Cultivate freely 

 and water abundantly. This will give you Celery beginning middle of 

 October and up to Christmas. For a later supply start seeds of the winter 

 keepers in a hot bed about middle of March to April first. Transplant to 

 the garden June first and blanch gradually as the plants increase in size. 

 Soil, boards, or paper may be used for blanching.
