FF^^F^F—® ow ^e seed in flats, during February 
or March. Celery seed germinates slowly and the sur¬ 
face of the soil must be kept constantly moist. Cover 
the seed very lightly, with fine sand rather than with 
soil, to prevent a hard surface. When plants are 2 or 
3 inches high, transplant them to other flats. In May, 
set them out in rows 3 feet apart, 6 inches apart in 
the rows. 
To blanch celery, hill up the stalks with earth, but 
do not let any dirt fall into the hearts of the plants, 
and do not work at it while wet. Celery may also be 
banked with boards pushed close to both sides of the 
rows. For winter store in cellar.
