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.
