CELERY 3 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long, and produce 8000 to 
6000 plants; 4 ounces will produce enough plants to set out an acre. 
Culture: The cultivation of Celery in a hot climate is attended with some difficulty, but 
in deep, rich soil good Celery can be grown if a little extra care is taken. In the latitude of 
Norfolk for an early crop, sow the seed in a greenhouse in January, and transplant to hot- 
beds in March. For a late crop, sow the seed in May, and set out in August. Celery seed 
is slow to germinate, so before sowing the seed, get the soil in as fine a condition as 
possible. Make rows 3 or 4 inches apart, and sow the seed evenly in the rows. Cover very 
lightly, barely covering the seed and press the soil firmly over the seed after sowing. The 
soil should be kept moist until the seed germinates. When set out in hotbeds the rows are 
usually 11 inches apart, and the plants 6 inches in the row. Hotbed Celery is blanched by 
being planted close together. When set in the field, the rows are 8 to 4 feet apart, and the 
plants 8 inches in the row. Field grown Celery is blanched by drawing the earth around the 
plants, or board or paper may be used. While Celery requires a lot of moisture, do not work 
the ground when the soil or the plants are wet, and when drawing the earth to the plants, 
care must be taken not to cover the top of the center shoot.
