of our customers who has been growing it for years and always gets top prices because, he says, “It is always top quality.”’ 
CELERY 
HOW TO GROW CELERY. To have matured Celery early in the summer, sow 
seeds of the early varieties under glass or indoors in boxes in February; set the plants 
out in May. For fall and winter crops, sow the seed in April or May, depending on the 
condition of the soil. Have the soil worked deep, very fine and loose, moist and warm. 
Sow the seed in rows a foot apart for hand cultivation. Keep moist; prevent soil from 
becoming dry or ‘‘crusted.’? For small gardens start your seed in boxes or seed-flats, or if sowing seed outside cover seedbed 
with burlap bags or any cloth and keep moist until the seedlings are through the ground, then remove the cloth and keep moderately 
moist, prevent soil drying out, not too wet or they will die of ‘‘damping off.’’ In June set the plants 6 inches apart in the rows, 
having the soil prepared. Make the rows 2 to 3 feet apart. Blanching is done by banking up the earth around the plants gradually 
until within a few inches of the top, also by use of Bleaching Paper (we have it), and by use of boards. One ounce will produce 
about 5,000 plants, 15,000 plants for each acre. Celery seed is slow germinating, usually requiring two to four weeks to obtain seed- 
lings. If cold weather causes a check or setback to the young plants, it may eventually result in a large number of ‘‘Seeders”’ in 
the crop. (Days given are time from setting of plants to maturity.) 
See page 21 for other Celeries. 
Every home gardener should grow a few rows of delicious Celery, enough for your family to enjoy all winter. It’s easy, it’s 
interesting—and it’s thrifty.
