CULTURE—One of the most popular vegetables for the table during fall and winter. For best results 
the soil should be rich and well prepared with a constant supply of moisture maintained. Celery seed 
is slow to germinate and ample time must be allowed. Sow the seed in beds or boxes during February 
or March, transplant to other beds or boxes in finely prepared rich soil when plants are 3 to 4 inches high 
3 inches apart each way. In June or July transplant in rows to stand about 6 inches apart. The space 
between the rows to be determined by the method of blanching, if done with boards or paper two to four 
feet, if with earth the space should be greater. Do not cover celery for blanching if weather is warm.
