Florida Golden is one of the newer varieties of celery. It is early and has a fine flavor, 



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 J4 inch deep. Even under favorable conditions 

 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.
