CELERY 
Seeds may be sown in the greenhouse, hotbed, or coldframe in February or March, and the seedlings trans¬ 
planted as soon as large enough to handle. Outdoors, the seed should be sown in well-prepared soil as soon 
as the ground can be worked, later transplanting to a prepared bed, setting the plants 3 to 4 inches apart 
so as to make them stocky. When about 6 inches high, transfer to richly manured trenches 3 to 4 feet 
apart, setting the plants in double rows, 6 inches apart each way. When fully grown, bank up with soil or 
paper collars in order to blanch the stalks. Keep the seed-bed free of weeds, and water well in dry weather.
