CELERY — Choice 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce will produce from 5,000 to 10,000 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.
