Plant Tait’s Thoroughbred Seeds 
CELERY 
CULTURE.—1 ounce is sufficient for 100 feet of drill; 4 ounces will produce enough plants to set an acre. The cultiva¬ 
tion of celery in a hot climate is attended with some difficulty, but while Southern celery is rarely so large as that grown 
in colder sections, it is not surpassed by any in firmness of grain and delicacy of flavor. Sow from April to July not more 
than % of an inch deep in a moist place, lightly rolling or pressing the surface after sowing to facilitate germination. 
If the seed bed is very finely pulverized, the seeds may be simply scattered over the surface and then pressed into the soil 
with the hand or back of spade, the whole bed then covered with old bags until the seeds germinate. Our celery seed will 
never fail to grow when handled in that way. When the plants are 4 or 5 inches high, transplant into trenches 4 feet 
apart, leaving 6 to 9 inches between them. To have stocky plants it is advisable to shear off the tops of the plants in the 
bed once or twice before setting out. For the long-stalk varieties dig the trenches a foot deep and put 4 or 5 inches of 
thoroughly rotten manure on the bottom, covering that again with 3 inches of good soil. For the Dwarf kinds the trenches 
may be only 9 inches deep, and a little closer together. As the plants grow, draw the earth up gradually to keep the leaf 
stalks together. Hill up in the fall, to blanch for use, but do not work the ground when it or the plants are wet.
