CELERY 
One ounce for 3,000 plants 
Culture. — This vegetable can be grown as easily 
as beans. Plant seed in hotbed or very early open 
ground. Transplant 4 inches apart, when 3 inches 
high, in rich soil finely pulverized; water and protect 
until well rooted, then transplant into rows 5 to 6 
feet apart, either on surface or in well-manured 
trenches a foot in depth, half filled with well-rotted 
manure. Set the plants from 8 to 12 inches apart. 
To blanch, draw earth around the plants from time

center shoots. For winter use in the family, celery 
needs to be hilled up only 8 inches. One ounce of 
seed gives about 4,000 plants.
