Golden Plume Celery 
CELERY 
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 Celery paper 
may be used to blanch the stalks. One oz. of seed is sufficient 
for 600 ft. of row. 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. The late (L) Celeries need 
130 days to come to maturity.
