Celery 



One ounce will furnish 



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 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. 



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. Pkt., 20c; '/ 2 oz., 50c; 1 oz., 90c; % lb., $3.00. 



GOLDEN PLUME, OR WONDERFUL 



It is similar to Golden Self Blanching, but matures ear- 

 lier, is larger and more blight, and blanches in half the 

 time. It possesses all the excellent qualities of that well 

 known celery, and we believe it is the most profitable sort 

 to grow. Pkt., 20c; Vi oz., 35c; 1 oz., 60c; >/ 4 lb., $1.80;

 transplanted the same as ordinary celery, only that it is not nec- 

 essary to earth up the plants. Set the plants in rich soil in rows 

 two feet apart and six inches apart in the row. The roots will keep

 earth and straw.
