CRISP CELERY TENDER 
CULTURE.—^elery seed^ is slow to grerminate and ample time must be 
given. Sow thinly; cover lightly. Keexj constantly moist. Count on about 
7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or ^ lb. per acre. When the seedling plants 
are three inches high they should be clipped at the top for stocky growth, 
or else transplanted. 
Celery is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 3 
to 5 feet apart. For home use Celery is often grown in double rows, 10 
inches apart without trenching, and banked for WMnter storage just where 
it grows, without lifting.
