Le Normand’s Short 
Stemmed 
CELERY 
For the earliest crop, start the seed in a hotbed or in the house during Feb¬ 
ruary or March. For the fall or main crop, sow the seed in the open ground 
as early in the spring as the soil can be worked into good condition. Plants 
will be ready for setting in rows in July. Celery requires a rich, well-manured 
soil and plenty of moisture so that it can make a continuous growth. Soil, 
boards, or Celery paper may be used to blanch the stalks. One oz. of seed is 
sufficient for 600 ft. of row. One oz. sown in the seed-flat gives 8,000 to 
10,000 good strong plants; 2 ozs. are needed for planting one acre.
