One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants. One-half 
pound of seed sufficient to sow one acre. 
Cultl'rk.—T he proper time to sow is early in 
April, transplanting about the first of June. Set in 
rows 3 feet apart, and about 12 inches between 
plants in the row. Some gardeners trim off the tops 
a little, while the plants are small, to make them 
more stocky. Keep down all weeds, and, as rail 
approaches, draw earth up to the plants, keeping 
the stalks well together. This earthing-up is con¬ 
tinued at intervals, until only the leaves appear 
above the soil. When well blanched is ready for 
use. For Winter use it is usually placed in frames 
and covered with earth and litter or stored in cool 
cellars. Comparatively few soils are suited to 
Celery culture. Itich, mellow soils of a sandy 
nature are best, while soils that settle and become 
hard after rain are unsuitable. The seed, being 
very small, should be covered very lightly.
