CELERY 



Celery seed will sprout at comparatively low temperatures, 

 but it needs constant and abundant moisture. The soil for 

 starting plants should be fine and loose, and seed must be 

 covered only J^ inch deep. Even under favorable condi- 

 tions seed cannot be expected to start within two weeks. For 

 fall and winter use in the North it may be planted from 

 March 15th to April 15th. In other sections time of planting 

 can be governed accordingly. When seedlings have 3 or 4 

 leaves well started, prick out about 3 inches apart each way. 

 Keep the soil well moistened at all times and transplant to 

 open ground when plants are 75 to 90 days old. Set the 

 plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the row. 



CRISPHEART This desirable new type of green celery is 

 earlier and easier to blanch than Utah. Plants large but 

 compact; stems thick and smooth. Rich, mild flavor.
