CELERY 
Sow the seed Ys inch deep in open ground as soon as fit 
to work in April, or for very early use in hot bed or cold 
frame. Pressing in the seed has often been found more satis' 
factory than covering. Cut the tops off once or twice before 
planting out, to make them stocky. When the plants are 5 or 
6 inches high, transplant to rows 2 feet apart and set the 
plants 6 inches apart in rows. Water freely and shade from 
sun until established. Cultivate well, and when large enough 
blanch by earthing up or by partly shading the rows with 
boards. One ounce will produce about 4,000 plants; will 
mature in about 6 months.
