CELERY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long, and produce 3000 to 5000 plants; 
4 ounces will produce enough plants to set out an acre. 
Culture: The cultivation of Celery in a hot climate is attended with some 
difficulty, but in deep, rich soil good Celery can be grown if a little extra care 
is taken. In the latitude of Norfolk for an early crop, sow the seed in a green¬ 
house in January, and transplant to hotbeds in March. For a late crop, sow the 
seed in May, and set out in August. Celery seed is slow to germinate, so before 
sowing the seed, get the soil in as fine a condition as possible. Make rows 3 or 
4 inches apart, and sow the seed evenly in the rows. Cover very lightly, barely 
covering the seed and press the soil firmly over the seed after sowing. The soil 
should be kept moist until the seed germinates. When set out in hotbeds the 
rows are usually 11 inches apart, and the plants 6 inches in the row. Hotbed 
Celery is blanched by being planted close together. When set in the field, the 
rows are 3 to 4 feet apart, and the plants 8 inches in the row. Field grown 
Celery is blanched by drawing the earth around the plants, or board or paper 
may be used. While Celery requires a lot of moisture, do not work the ground 
when the soil or the plants are wet, and when drawing the earth to the plants, 
care must be taken not to cover the top of the center shoot.

Non-Bolting Golden Plume. (120 days). A dwarf, compact strain of Golden
