CELERY 
Culture .^—For both market and home use there is no more highly esteemed vegetable than Celery. 
As the seed is very small it demands intelligent and careful culture. Sow in drills 8 to 10 inches apart early 
in April, or as soon as the ground is entirely free from frost. The soil should be well pulverized and the 
seed lightly covered. An additional sowing or two between this period and May 15 will insure a plentiful 
supply of good plants. When the seedlings are 3 to 4 inches high some planters clip the tops to encourage 
stocky growth. From about the middle of June to as late as the first week in August transplant in shallow 
trenches 3 to 4 feet apart, leaving a space of 4 to 6 inches between the plants in the row. Flat culture, 
without trenches, is advocated by many gardeners. Press the soil firmly about the roots and keep well 
cultivated. As Fall approaches “banking-up” for bleaching is started by bunching the leaves together and 
drawing the soil around the plants about one-third up; this is continued at intervals until only the leaves 
appear above the soil. 
Blanching is often accomplished by means of boards, or building paper set up against the rows instead 
of soil. When well blanched the Celery is ready for use. Rich soil of a mellow, sandy nature is well suited 
for Celery culture. Late Celery for Winter use should be pitted or placed in cellar before freezing weather. 
One ounce of seed will oprduce about 5,000 plants.
