CELERY 
CULTURE. For 
early crop seed 
should be sown 
indoors In Febru¬ 
ary or March. The 
surface of seed 
bed should be cov¬ 
ered with sand to 
hold moisture 
without becoming 
crusted. When 
seedlings are big 
enough to handle 
they should be 
transplanted to 
develop the roots 
and harden the 
tops. Plant out 
in the open when 
danger of severe 
frost is past and 
the soil can be 
worked up prop¬ 
erly.
