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.
