5,000 plants 
During April or May sow seed 14 inch deep in drills, either in the open ground or coldframe, keeping the soil well moist until seed ger- 
minates. When the plants are about 2 inches high, thinning out is necessary, and then after attaining a height of 5 inches they are ready to 
be transplanted, usually in July, to final beds of very rich soil. Set plants every 6 inches in rows 3 feet apart. Keep space between rows cul- 
tivated and free from weeds. For early use begin blanching in September by drawing up the soil to within a few inches of the top and firm 
well around the plants. Select every other row for early use, thus giving the remaining Celery more room for late blanching.
