- CELERY 
For the early crop seed should be sown in a greenhouse during March, in flats. The late or main crop should 
be sown in a coldframe or even in a sheltered seed bed out of doors, in late April or during May. 
Broadcast the seed thinly over the surface of the soil and cover very lightly (no more than | /16 inch) with 
finely sifted soil. As soon as the plants are large enough to handle thin out so that they are an inch or two apart. 
The early plants should be transplanted to permanent positions in the garden in May and the late crop in 
late June or July. Set the plants about 8 inches apart, in rows and allow at least 214 feet between rows. Celery 
should have a deep, rich, fertile soil which is well-drained. It should have an abundance of moisture. 
1 ounce of seed should produce 3000 plants 
Cropping dates of Celery are figured from the time the small plants are set out in the garden or field
