LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1922. 15 
CELERY | 
1 oz. will furnish 5,000 to 10,000 plants. 
Culture—Sow the early varieties in a cold-frame, the late sorts in the 
open ground, early in April, and in June and July transplant respectively. 
On the surface of the ground, thoroughly enriched and cultivated before- 
hand lay out lines 3 feet apart, no trenches, as was formerly the custom. 
Set the plants in these rows, about 5 inches apart. Until about the middle 
of August the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in 
dry weather. BHBarthing up may then begin and continue as long as the © 
plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. Several methods 
of bleaching early varieties are to be recommended—banking the soil, 
4 inch clay tile, heavy wrapping paper, or boards. The early varieties are 
best bleached with boards, owing to the disease commonly called rust, 
which attacks plants about this period, and is avoided by the exclusion of 
light and air, the celery being ready for use in 15 to 18 days. For late 
varieties earthing up becomes necessary after Sept. 20th, as frost may ap- 
pear any night and destroy the crops, where boards, tile or paper are used. 
The banking of earth is the best protection against frost. As winter ap- 
roaches the banks may be covered with boards and a good covering of 
eaves. ; 
Raine io os ae 
Varieties given in order of maturity. 
White Plume—A very superior stock. Does not require to be earthed up, 
but if only loosely tied and soil drawn close around the base of the leaves 
to keep them close together, all the inner leaves and stalks will turn 
white and crisp. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % Ib. 70c; 1 lb. $2.50. 
Golden Self-Blanching—Originator’s best French grown stock. Like White 
Plume, this Celery requires very little earthing up and in many other 
respects it is similar to it, differing, however, in color, which is yellow- 
ish, the heart being large and solid and of a beautiful golden hue. Un- 
eres) in flavor and crispness. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 35c; oz. 65c; %4 lb. $2.25; 
Golden Self-Blanching—American Grown Seed. Well liked by many garden- 
ers. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.45; 1 1b. $5.00. 
Easy Blanching Celery—A new variety of great merit. The habit is dwarf 
and compact, with light green foliage which has almost a yellowish hue. 
It is very easily blanched and might be termed a second-early variety, as 
it is ready for use to follow Golden Self-Blanching. Due to the solidity 
of the stalks, it is a first-rate keeper, and may therefore be grown for 
winter and spring use. The flavor is first class, while the stalks are 
: vue vrai heavy and crisp. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; oz. 45c; % Ib. $1.30; 
Columbia—An early maturing, delightfully crisp variety, with thick, nearly 
round stalks of a rich golden-yellow color like Golden Self-Blanching. 
Flavor superb. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; oz. 45c; % lb. $1.30; 1 1b. $4.50.
