HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 



15 



CELERY 



(SeUerie) 



One ounce will produce about 3000 plants. One-half pound of seed sufficient to sow one acre. 



Culture. — Sow the last of March or early in April, in drills 8 to 10 inches apart. The seed should be covered 

 very lightly or merely pressed into the earth. When fairly out of the seed leaf they may be transplanted to another 

 bed, or else thinned out to 4 inches apart, and let them grow until wanted for transplanting out into the beds 

 or trenches in July. Some gardeners trim off the tops a little, while the plants are small, to make them grow 

 more stocky. The trenches should be shallow, and about 4 feet apart, and wide enough to hold one or two rows. 

 These rows should be 1 foot apart and the plants set about G inches apart in the row. As the plants grow, they 

 should be earthed up to blanch them, care being taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant. For 

 keeping over the Winter, bank up with earth and cover over with litter to keep out the frost, placing boards on 

 top to keep out the rain.
