plants; two ounces per acre. Muck soil is best for Celery, but good Celery 
may be grown on rich, loamy soil if water can be applied freely. Celery needs 
manure and fertilizer, but as muck soils are usually well supplied with an 
abundance of nitrogenous matter, a fertilizer high in phosphate and potash 
usually gives the best results.
