Cultivation of Celery. — Sow the seeds in flats, under glass during February, and as soon as a showing is made prick 
out into other flats or frames, selecting soil in the highest state of cultivation. In May or June set the plants in very 
rich and well-prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows and from 3 to 4 feet between the rows. Give a thorough and clean 
cultivation and blanch by means of boards set up against the rows. Later varieties may be planted the same way at later 
intervals, or the seed can be planted out of doors. These plants should be 1 foot apart, .Sow the seeds shallow and firm. 
The rows are to be 4 to 5 feet apart. Blanch by earthing up the plants to within an inch from the tips of leaves. For 
winter storage take up the plants with roots and place upright on wet soil in a dark cellar or root house, packing closely. 
One ounce of Celery seed will produce three thousand plants.
