overcome the handicap of poor celery seed.

Growing and Celery requires an abundance of moisture at all stages 
tt ?■ of growth but will not endure flooding for any length of time. 
Harvesting Seed is sown' from February to May in beds either drilled or 
Celery broadcast. The seed must be planted very shallow, is slow 
to germinate and the beds must be kept wet. The beds may 
be covered with burlap sacks until the plants begin to come to the surface, 
when the sacks must be removed at once. The seedlings will be ruined if the 
sacks are left on even one day too long. After the seedlings are well started, 
they may be transplanted or thinned out to give them room to make stocky 
plants. If broadcast two or three inches each way or if in drills one inch 
apart in six-inch rows will give strong plants. Usually three months will be 
required for seed to produce a plant ready to transplant into the field. Celery 
plants are usually set in the field about 7 inches apart in rows three or three 
and one-half feet apart. Frequent cultivation and irrigation is necessary, an 
abundance of fertilizer must be used unless the soil is exceptionally rich. 
As the plants approach maturity they must be blanched by hilling with earth 
or with boards or special blanching paper. Late celery should be trenched at 
the approach of freezing weather. Plants are taken up and set out compactly 
in a narrow trench, the bottom of which has been moistened just enough for 
the roots to keep the plants from wilting. Should the plants begin to wilt, 
water the roots without wetting the stalks or leaves. Keep temperature above 
freezing point and the stalks will gradually blanch. They may be used during 
the winter. 
No vegetable requires more careful handling in seed production than 
Celery. Our Celery seed represents the most expert care to produce the most 
desirable and reliable seed. Florida planters will find our Florida Golden and 
Golden Plume well adapted to fall planting in their section. The time of maturity 
for the several varieties varies considerably in different sections, but under 
average conditions the early varieties are ready for use in about 110 to 115 
days after sowing of the seed, the later varieties about 135 days.
