MICHELL’S CHOICE CELERY 
Celeri (Fr.); Sellerie (Ger.); Sedano (Ital.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 3000 to 5000 plants; half pound is sufficient for one acre. 
Sow in hotbeds in March or in open ground in April. See that no weeds infest the seed bed; when 3 inches high transplant in 
a bed outdoors in rows 3 inches apart each way; let them remain there until July when they should be planted where they are to mature, 
in rows 3 feet apart, 6 inches apart in the row. Celery Plants if topped a few times before and when transplanted into their permanent 
growing place will make shorter, stockier plants. Seeds offered on this page mailed postpaid at quoted prices.
