Celery 
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 ap- 
plied 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.
