J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 



CELERY. 



CULTURE. — Sow in May and June for early transplanting, and in August and 

 September for a later crop. Sow thinly and shade during the hot months. When the 

 plants are six inches high, transplant into trenches about four inches deep, nine inches 

 wide and two and a half feet apart, made very rich by digging in rotted manure. Plants 

 should be from 6 to 8 inches apart. When planted out during the hot months, the 

 trenches require to be shaded which is generally done by spreading cotton cloth over 

 them; lataniers will answer the same purpose. Celery requires plenty of moisture, and 

 watering with soapsuds, or liquid manure, will benefit the plants a great deal. When 

 tall enough, it should be earthed up to blanch to make it fit for the table, which can 

 be commenced with when the plants are a foot high. Best not to earth up too high 

 at first, only when the final or last hilling up is made. Matures in 120 to 150 days. One 

 ounce to 10,000 plants; 4 ounces to the acre.
