CELERY 
CULTURE. Celery seed is slow to germinate. Plant seed in hot bed 
or very early in open ground. When three inches high transplant four 
inches apart in finely pulverized rich soil. In June or July transplant 
6 to 8 inches apart in rows three feet apart. Celery requires a great 
deal of water from the time the seed is sown until it is pulled. To 
blanch, draw earth around the plants, or boards or paper may be used. 
An ounce will produce about 6000 plants; quarter pound will suffice 

for an acre.
