Sellerie CELERY ‘Ss¢77° 
Apium graveolens var. dulce 
Premature Seeding of Celery:—Losses from fields shooting to seed before they are ready for 
market have become a hazard to, the celery grower. This trouble may be somewhat reduced by 
careful regulation of temperature when the plants are being grown in the hotbed or greenhouse. 
Keep the temperature around 65 to 70° F. 
When it comes time to harden the plants for transplanting, do this by withholding the water 
until plants show signs of wilting, and not by exposing the plants to low temperatures.
