Celery 



One ounce will furnish 3,000 to 5,000 plants 



Celery is a crop that requires a very long season. If an early crop 

 is to be grown from seeds, the latter must be started indoors in boxes 

 about the last of February, the plants being set in the ground, 6 inches 

 apart, in May. The crop should be ready in August. Celery for winter 

 may be grown from seeds started in the open ground in late April, 

 but it is advisable to have a seed bed and to transplant the seedlings 

 to the open field when large enough. It is well to cut off the lower 

 half of the roots at transplanting time, and firming the soil around 

 the plants is very important. 



SUPERPLUME (Special Mention in the All American 

 Trials, 1937) — A new celery, very much like Golden 

 Plume, but has thicker, longer meatier stems with better 

 quality. It is earlier and stands longer without becoming 

 pithy. It branches very easily to a clear deep cream. It is 

 also an excellent storage variety. V2 oz., $1.50; 1 oz., $2.50; 

 1/4 lb., $7.00 Pkt. 15c 



GOLDEN DETROIT — Plants very compact and full- 

 hearted. Stems broad, thick, and ordinarily 7 to 8 inches 

 long; blanch easily to a rich creamy-yellow; free from 

 strings. V2 oz., 60c; 1 oz., $1.00; V4, lb., $3.25 Pkt. 25c 



GOLDEN PHENOMENAL— The general characteristics 

 are those of Golden Plume, but it is decidedly taller and 

 the stalks are much longer to the joint. Free from any 

 strings, fine flavor, and excellent quality. % oz., 50c; 1 oz., 

 90c; 1/4 lb., $3.00 Pkt. 20c 



GOLDEN PLUME, or WONDERFUL— It is similar to 

 Golden Self Blanching, but matures earlier, is larger and 

 more bright, and branches in half the time. It possesses 

 all the excellent qualities of that well-known celery. % oz., 

 40c; 1 oz., 75c; V4 lb., $2.50; 1 lb., $6.00 Pkt. 10c

 of thick, very tender stalks of excellent quality, and while 

 it bleaches very early, it is unsurpassed for vnnter storage.
