HOW TO GROW CELERY. To have matured Celery early in the summer, sow 
seeds of the early varieties under glass in February; set the plants out in May. Celery 
seed is by no means as easy to grow as most other seeds. For fall and winter crops, 
sow the seed in April or May, depending on the condition of the soil. To get Cele 
seed to germinate and give you a good stand of strong plants, you must have the soil 
worked deep, very fine and loose, moist and warm. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart for hand cultivation. Keep moist; prevent 
soil from becoming dry or ‘‘crusted.”’ In June set out the plants 6 inches apart in the rows, having the soil prepared. Make the 
rows 2 to 3 feet apart. Blanching is done by banking up the earth around the plants gradually until within a few inches of the top, 
aiso by use of Bleaching Paper (we have it), and by use of boards. One ounce will produce about 5,000 plants, 15,000 plants for 
each acre. Dr. Thompson, of Cornell University, has shown by experiment that bolting of Celery (going to seed prematurely) is 
caused by subjecting the growing plants to cool temperatures. Ten to thirty days of temperatures averaging 40 to 50 degrees will 
Start Beou-atock formation in plants of all varieties. Celery Seed is slow germinating, usually requiring two to four weeks to obtain 
seedlings.
