CULTURE—Sow the seed in flats, during 
February or March. Celery seed germinates 
slowly and the surface of the soil must be kept 
constantly moist. Cover the seed very lightly, 
with fine sand rather than with soil, to prevent 
a hard surface. When plants are 2 or 3 inches 
high, transplant them to other flats. In May, 
set them out in rows 3 feet apart, 6 inches 
apart in the rows. 
To blanch celery, hill up the stalks with 
earth, but do not let any dirt fall into the 
hearts of the plants, and do not work at it 
while wet. Celery may also be banked with 
boards pushed close to both sides of the rows. 
For winter store in cellar.
