CELERY-Sellerie 



One ounce to 3,000 plants. 10 to 15 ounces to the acre. 

 Sow the seed in a well-prepared soil as soon as the ground is in a proper condition to work. Sow in drills 

 and tread the seed firmly in; thin out to an inch apart, and keep the ground well worked and free from weeds. 

 Make the soil very rich with well rotted manure, which should be dug in deep; a moist, low, rich bottom land 

 or well-drained muck soil is preferable. Set the plants eight or twelve inches apart. To blanch, draw earth 

 around the plants from time to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the center shoots.
