COLE'S CELERY SEED.

CELERY. 



Ger. Selleric. Fr. Celeri. 

 One ounce will produce 4,000 plants. 



This is one of the best, if not the finest, of 

 salad plants. Although largely grown at the 

 present time, still its production should be 

 greatly increased. It may be grown in any gar- 

 den with very little labor. Sow seed during 

 March or April in hot-bed, or in a box in the 

 house, or in the open ground in moist, rich soil. 

 When sowr in the open ground it vegetates 

 slowly. When the plants are four to six inches 

 high, transplant in rows three feet apart and 

 six inches apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch 

 three or four times during their growth, taking 

 care that no earth falls in the center of the 

 plant. Take up the plants late in the fall, just 

 before winter sets in, and remove to the cellar 

 and cover with sand or earth, for future use.
