Celery 
Seleri—A pios—Sedanio Acci 
Sow seeds in hotbed or very early in open ground (it is slow to germinate, and should be kept moist). 
Sow in straight rows for convenience in weeding when plants are small. When five or six inches high 
thin out or transplant to five inches apart. Celery requires very rich soil and plenty of water. 
Plants may be set from May to the middle of August. Large growers set 
the crop level with the surface, having previously plowed in all the manure 
possible, and setting in rows three to four feet apart and five and six inches 
in the row. Figure after name denotes days required after setting.
