Eel NO AMOUNT OF EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE 
e1ery GROWER WILL OVERCOME THE HANDICAP OF 
POOR CELERY SEED. OURS IS "AS GOOD AS 
GROW" 
Seed is sown from February to May in beds either drilled or 
broadcast. This seed must be planted very shallow, is slow to ger- 
minate and the bed must be kept moist. The beds may be covered 
with burlap sacks until the plants begin to come to the surface, 
when the sacks must be removed at once. The seedlings will be 
ruined if the sacks are left on even one day too long. After the 
seedlings are well started, they may be transplanted or thinned out 
to give them room to make stocky plants. If broadcast, seedlings 
should be two or three inches each way or if in drills, one inch 
apart in six-inch rows will give strong plants. Usually three months 
will be required for seed to produce a plant ready to transplant into 
the field. 1 oz. should produce 10,000 plants, 4 lb. enough plants 
for an acre. %4 oz. plants 100 ft. of drill. 
Celery plants are usually set in 24 to 36 inch rows, 7 inches apart 
in the row. Frequent cultivation and irrigation is necessary; an 
abundance of fertilizer must be used unless the soil is exceptionally 
rich. 
As the plants approach maturity they may be blanched by hilling 
with earth or with boards or special blanching paper. Late celery 
should be trenched at the approach of freezing weather. The trench 
should be dug in well drained soil 12 to 15 inches wide, as deep as 
the plants are tall and as long as desired. Dig the plants with roots 
on and set them close together in the trench. Should the plant 
begin to wilt, water the roots without wetting the stalks or leaves 
as this will cause rotting. Cover with boards to shade and keep 
temperature above freezing when the weather gets cold by adding 
straw covered with soil as required. The stalks are gradually 
blanched and may be used during the winter. From the home garden 
the whole plants may be taken up late in the fall, packed in a box 
with soil around the roots and stored in the cellar. Give occasional 
light waterings like above described.
