CELERY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long, and produce 3000 to 5000 plants; 
4 ounces will produce enough plants to set out an acre. 
Culture: The cultivation of Celery in a hot climate is attended with some difficulty, but 
in deep, rich soil good Celery can be grown if a little extra care is taken. In the latitude 
of Norfolk for an early crop, sow the seed in a greenhouse in January, and transplant to 
hotbeds in March. For a late crop, sow the seed in May, and set out in August. Celery 
seed is slow to germinate, so before sowing the seed, get the soil in as fine a condition as 
possible. Make rows 3 or 4 inches apart, and sow the seed evenly in the rows. Cover 
very lightly, barely covering the seed and press the soil firmly over the seed after sowing. 
The soil should be kept moist until the seed germinates. When set out in hotbeds the rows 
are usually 11 inches apart, and the plants 6 inches in the row. Hotbed Celery is blanched 
by being planted close together. When set in the field, the rows are 3 to 4 feet apart, and 
the plants 8 inches in the row. Field grown Celery is blanched by drawing the earth around 
the plants, or board or paper may be used. While Celery requires a lot of moisture, do not 
work the ground when the soil or the plants are wet, and when drawing the earth to the 
plants, care must be taken not to cover the top of the center shoot.
