We grow annually about 100, OlO celery on our farm. Of course we take a great deal 
of pains to get the best seed possible, and we sell the same kind of seed we sow for our own 
crops. For the quality of our Golden Self-blanching seed see page 6. It is proven seed. 
The culture of Celery is very simple when properly managed. Many beginners in 
Celery growing fail to sprout the seed, because they do not observe the necessary condi- 
tions. Celery seed is very small, and care should be taken to cover the seed very lightly 
and give partial shade, to keep the surface of the soil moist until the seed is sprouted, 
when the shade must be removed to prevent the young plants from running up spindling. 
When the plants are three inches high transplant them into a bed prepared for the purpose, 
three inches apart. Shear off Ihe tops of the plants to make them grow stalky. If the 
plants do not stand too thick in the row, they may be sheared off where they stand, and 
save the labor of transplanting. Transplant into the field, on the surface of the ground, 
five or six inches apart, in rowj Si feet apart for the dwarf varieties, and six to seven 
inches apart in rows four feet apart for the large varieties. Trim back tops and roots 
when transplanting. The easiest way to blanch the self-blanching sorts is to set up boards 
ten or twelve inches wide on each side of the row, bringing them nearly together at the 
top, and holding them in place by a clamp made of hoop-iron or heavy wire. It will 
blanch in eight to ten days, according to the weather.
