Self-Blanching Celery Grotvs and Blanches Easily 
Celery 
Makes Seeds Healthy 
Celery, more than any other vegetable, demands intelligent and careful culture. The 
seed is very small and is slow to germinate; with the inexperienced a good stand of plants 
is an exception. For early, sow in shallow boxes in gentle heat in February and March, 
and for later, sow about the middle of April in a finely prepared seed bed, in rows so that 
the plants can be kept free from weeds. Cover not more than 34 inch, and press down firmly with the back of the spade 
or a board. Be sure and keep the bed constantly moist (a partially shaded location is favorable on this account), or 
cover the bed with a light matting or burlap, directly on the soil until the plants begin to prick through the ground, 
when it should be immediately removed. When large enough to handle, thin and transplant to 4 inches apart. Clip 
off the tops when about 4 inches high to make them stocky. Plant out from the middle of June until the middle of 
July in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, and 8 inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken in setting, not to cover the crowns 
and to press the earth firmly about the roots. Keep it well cultivated until a month before it is wanted, when it should 
be hilled or banked for blanching; this should be done gradually, usually in two or three operations a week or so apart, 
the last time almost to the tips of the leaves. Select a rich, deep, sandy loam, rather moist. 
One ounce will produce about 4,000 plants.
