CELERY 
Celerri. Apio. ©etterie • 
One ounce will sow about 300 feet of a row and produces about 5,000 plants . 
Sow in the open border early in April in rich ground, pressing the seed down rather 
than covering with soil. When the plants are 3 inches high, transplant 4 inches apart in¬ 
to temporary beds of soft, rich soil until they acquire sufficient strength for planting 
out. If they grow too quickly before needed for planting out, shear the tops off when 
about 4 inches in height, and they will grow more stocky. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, 
and set 8 inches apart in the rows. After the planting is completed, nothing further is 
necessary for 6 or 7 weeks, except running through between the rows with the cultivator 
or hoe, and freeing the plants from weeds. About the middle of August earthing up is 
necessary for blanching and whitening of that which is wanted for early use. After the 
soil has been drawn up against the plant with the hoe, it is further pressed close around 
each plant by the hand, firm enough to keep the leaves upright and prevent them from 
spreading, using care to prevent the soil falling into the heart of the plant.
