Burpee’s Finest Celery-fCn^ 
For the earliest crop, start the seed in a hotbed or in the house during 
February or March. For the fall or main crop, sow the seed in the 
open ground as early in the spring as the soil can be worked into good 
condition. Plants will be ready for setting in rows in July. Celery 
requires a rich, well-manured soil and plenty of moisture so that it 
can make a continuous growth. Soil, boards, or paper cylinders may 
be used to blanch the stalks. One oz. of seed is sufficient for 600 
ft. of drill. One oz. sown in the seed-flat gives 8,000 to 10,000 good 
strong plants; 2 ozs. are needed for planting one acre. 
The early (E) varieties of Celery mature in about 115 days from 
the time the seed is sown. They are adapted for starting indoors, or 
outdoors when the ground is fit for planting. The late (L) Celeries 
need 130 days to come to maturity. They are planted extensively 
for late fall use and winter storing.
