Celery seed takes 2-3 weeks to germinate. It will ger¬ 
minate well at comparatively low temperatures. 
Plants require abundant moisture, but will not stand 
flooding. The soil should be rich, fine and loose. Sow 
seed in beds covering only % inch deep and prick out 
to 3 inches each way when seedlings have 3 or 4 
leaves. When 2^-3 months old transplant to field 
trenches that are 5-6 inches deep and 2 feet apart, 
spacing the plants 8-12 inches. Blanching is done by 
hilling up with soil, tying up with burlap or special 
blanching paper or with boards. For fall and winter 
crop plant from February to April.
