CELERY. 
Apio — Sellerie — Celeri. 
Sow seed in frame or open ground. Transplant 
4 inches apart, when 3 inches high, in rich soil 
finely pulverized; water and protect until well 
rooted, then transplant into rows 5 or (> feet 
apart, either on surface or in well-manured trenches 
a foot in depth, half filled with well-rotted man¬ 
ure. Set the plants from 8 to 12 inches apart. 
To blanch, draw earth around the plants from time 
to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the 
center-shoots. One ounce of seed will produce 
5,000 plants. 
The Celeriac, or turnip-rooted, may be planted 
either on level ground or in shallow drills, and culti¬ 
vated in a manner similar to Celery. The roots are 
used as a salad.
