CELERY 
1 ounce to 5,000 plants; 20,000 plants per acre. 
Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should 
be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown 
out of doors in a finely prepared seed bed during April. See 
that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is 
kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the 
plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to 
a distance of two or three inches apart each way. These 
must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are 
four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants 
will grow more stocky. The plants are usually set out in 
the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually 
best to do this during July or the first of August. In some 
sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June. 
The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and 
well enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded 
in deeply, the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off 
some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in 
the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them fre- 
quently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of 
moisture. 
When the plants are nearly full grown they should be 
blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about 
the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful 
not to allow any of the earth to fall between the leaves. 
Repeat this process every few days until only the top of the 
leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are 
wet or the soil is damp as this is liable to result in injury 
from rust. 
This new strain of Golden Self- 
Golden Plume Blanehing has been pronounced by 
authorities to be the best of all the early varieties. It 
matures two or three weeks earlier than any other sort, 
blanches more quickly and shows less tendency-to blight or 
crown-rot. Distinctly larger and ranker in growth than 
Golden Self-Blanching; more plainly ribbed and does not 
grow hollow. The crisp, tender stalks are very broad and 
the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage. 
“d 7 A if train of 
Manns’ Golden Special @ 720 Plame has better 
hearts, is earlier and more easily blanched than other types. 
Strictly dependable for commercial production. 
French Golden Yellow Self-Blanching 
(Originator’s Stock.) Our strain of this very popular sort 
eannot be excelled in quality or appearance. The plants 
are of medium size, compact and stocky, with yellowish 
green foliage. The stalks are solid, crisp, tender, free from 
strings and of a fine nutty flavor. 
Easy Bleacher Two weeks later than Golden Self- 
: i Blanching. Blanches readily and is a 
great favorite with Southern growers who usually plant a 
full crop of this one sort. Vigorous in growth and a splen- 
did keeper. 
, Of medium height, an excellent winter 
Winter Queen keeping sort, producing thick creamy 
white stalks which are broad, very solid und crisp. The 
hearts are large and it blanches well.
