For early crop, sow indoors February Ist to March Ist and transplant in open after danger of hard frosts. 
For late crop, sow seed out-of-doors April Ist to May Ist and transplant 4 to 6 inches apart in 24 to 28 inch 
rows. 
When fully grown, blanch with boards, earth or paper. 
The whole plant may be taken up in the late fall, packed in a box with soil around roots and stored in the 
cellar. 
An occasional light watering will keep the celery in good condition well into winter.

We prefer this variety over the yellow varieties.

too well known except among certain groups of our 
population. Celeriac is easy to grow. The bulb-
