EASY BLANCHING CELERY—“SWEET AS A NUT” 
25 
Wonderful or Golden Plume Celery 
CELERY 
Celery requires a rich, 
moist soil and does not 
germinate well in hot bed 
or a temperature in excess 
of 60° F. Sow inch 
deep in seed beds very 
early in the spring. Trim 
tops once or twice before 
transplanting. When the 
plants are 6 inches high, 
transplant them 6 inches 
apart into trenches 4 
inches deep, 9 inches wide 
and three feet apart. Firm 
the soil around the young 
roots, keep free from 
weeds and provide liberal 
water or soap suds in dry 
weather. Nothing more 
can be done until Sep' 
tember, which is “han' 
dling” time for successful 
bleaching. Gather all 
leaves in one hand, pack' 
ing soil carefully around 
stalks to 1/3 their height, 
so it does not fall between 
leaves and cause rust or 
rot. Repeat until only the 
tops can be seen.
