C. C. MORSE & CO. — SEEDS — SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 
CELERY 
Celery requires water, and lots of it, from the 
time the seed is sown in boxes in March until it 
is pulled in the autumn or winter. The seed is 
slow to germinate, and the soil where it is planted 
needs to be kept very wet. As soon as the young 
plants are about one and one-half inches high, 
they should be transplanted to get good, sturdy 
plants before they are finally set in the garden or 
field. When the plants begin to grow vigorously 
the soil needs to be drawn up around the plants, 
first tying them at the top or wrapping with a 
piece of sacking to prevent the earth getting be- 
tween the stems. As fast as the plants grow 
above the soil, the earth wants to be hilled around 
them again to get a full growth of well-blanched 
stems. The great celery growing centers are lo- 
cated in swampy, peat districts. Use one ounce 
of seed to 15,000 plants, or two ounces per acre. 
Set in 24-inch to 30-inch rows.
