CELERY 
One ounce will produce about 4 to 5 thousand plants. 14 pound for an acre. 
CULTURE—One of the most popular vegetables for the table during fall and winter. For best 
results the soil should be rich and well prepared with a constant supply of moisture maintained. 
Celery seed is slow to germinate and ample time must be allowed. Sow the seed in beds or boxes 
during February or March, transplant to other beds or boxes in finely prepared rich soil when plants 
are 3 to 4 inches high 3 inches apart each way. In June or July transplant in rows to stand about 
6 inches apart. The space between the rows to be determined by the method of blanching, if done 
with boards or paper two to four feet, if with earth the space should be greater. Do not cover 
celery for blanching if weather is warm.
