Celery 
Culture—For early celery sow the seed of the self-blanching sorts in a hotbed early in the spring. 
As soon as the plants are 3 inches high, transplant into frames in well-enriched soil 4 inches apart. 
Cut them once or twice before setting them out in May or June to make them stocky. When about 
six inches high transplant into trenches wide enough to hold 
two rows. The rows should be about 1 foot apart and the plants 
set about 8 inches apart. For winter celery start the seeds in 
flats as for early, only a little later. As plants grow they 
should be earthed up to blanch, taking care not to cover the 
center of the plant. 
Easy Blanching. This is a splendid early variety for home 
and market garden. The plants are vigorous, erect, compact 
growth, blanching readily. The stalks are thick, solid, of a 
rich nut flavor. An excellent keeper.
