Culture—Sow in hotbeds or in seed boxes 
in the house in February or March. Keep well 
watered and transplant from July to Septem- 
ber 15th to rich, moist, mucky soil in rows 12 | 
to 18 inches apart, with plants 6 inches apart 
in the row. When about 4 inches high clip off 
the tops to make the plants stocky. Supply 
abundance of moisture. As the plants grow 
heap up the earth around the stalks to whiten 
them. To protect from severe winter weather, 
cover the rows with straw and lay boards on 
the top, or bank the rows with boards when 
10 inches tall. One ounce of seed produces 
1,000 plants. As celery seed germinate slowly 
it is best to soak the seed for 24 hours before 
sowing.
