CELERY Apios, Sp. Culture.—For early or summer Celery sow seed of the self-blanching sorts in flats under glass during February, and prick out singly or in sections of row, into other flats, frames, or in nursery row in the open, selecting soil in the highest state of cultivation. In May to June, set the plants in very rich and well prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows, and rows 3 or 4 feet apart. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and blanch by means of boards set up against the rows. For later and winter Celery, start seed of standard sorts either in flats as for early, only a little later, or directly into open ground. Make the rows for plants 1 foot apart; sow seed shallow and firm well. The rows in which the plants are to be set are 4 or 5 feet apart. Blanch by earthing up gradu- ally clear to within a few inches of tip of the leaves. For winter storage, take up the plants with roots, and place upright on wet soil in a dark cellar or roothouse, packing closely. One ounce of Celery seed will pro- duce from 5,000 to 10,000 plants.
