CELERY CULTURE 



Keeping Celery Fresh While Exposed for Sale. — 



Celery exposed on the market for sale loses its 

 freshness rapidly, and to overcome this many of 

 the growers who market locally supply their dealers 

 with a device intended to keep the celery fresh. 



FIG. 55 — DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING CELERY ON RETAIL MARKET 



This device, which is illustrated in Fig. 55, consists 

 of a shallow pan of galvanized iron together with a 

 framework for holding the celery in an upright 

 position. About an inch of water is kept in the bot- 

 tom of the pan, which aids in keeping the celery in 

 good condition until used. These holders can be of 

 neat design, and if placed in a prominent part of the 

 retail store they show the celery to the best advant- 

 age.
