SEEDS

CELERY 
Culture. — Sow seeds in hot-bed or very early in open ground, (being a slow germinating seed, 
soil should be kept moist). As soon as plants are 3 inches high, transplant in beds 4 inches 
apart. When grown 6 inches high, transplant in richly manured deep soil, 8 inches apart, in 
3-foot rows. Celery requires the most careful cultivation and plenty of water. To blanch, 
earth up gradually, or band carefully with paper or boards. An ounce produces 4,000 plants.

portion of the inner leaves and heart
