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, six inches 
apart, in May. The crop should be ready in August. Celery for win- 
ter 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. 
GOLDEN PHENOMENAL 
The general characteristics are those of Golden Plume, but it is de- 
cidedly taller and the stalks are much longer to the joint. Free from 
any strings, fine flavor and excellent quality. Pkt., 15c; 14 oz., 50c; 
1 oz., 90c; 14 Ib., $3.25. 
GOLDEN PLUME, OR WONDERFUL 
It is similar to Golden Self Blanching, but matures earlier, is larger 
and more blight, and blanches in half the time. It possesses all the ex- 
cellent qualities of that well known celery, and we believe it is the most 
profitable sort to grow. Pkt., 15c; 14 oz., 35c; 1 oz., 60c; 14 Ib., $1.80;
