Celery 
Yellows Resistant Varieties 
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 ferti- 
lizer, but as muck soils are usually well supplied with an 
abundance of nitrogenous matter, a fertilizer high in phos- 
phate and potash usually gives the best results.
