Improved Golden Self-Blanching Celery 
CELERY 
Seeds may be sown in the greenhouse, hotbed, or coldframe in February or March, and 
the seedlings transplanted as soon as large enough to handle. Outdoors, the seed should 
be sown in well-prepared soil as soon as the ground can be worked, later transplanting to 
a prepared bed, setting the plants 3 to 4 inches apart so as to make them stocky. When 
about 6 inches high, transfer to richly manured trenches 3 to 4 feet apart, setting the plants 
in double rows, 6 inches apart each way. When fully grown, bank up with soil in order to 
blanch the stalks. Be sure to keep the seed-bed free of weeds, and water well in dry 
weather. Send for our free leaflet, which tells in detail how to grow, blanch, and keep Celery.
