CELERY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long, and produce 3000 to 
5000 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 hotbeds 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 3 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.
