Sow the seed in a well prepared soil as soon as the ground is in a proper condition to work. Sow in drills and tread the seed firmly in; 

 thin out to an inch apart, and keep the ground well worked and free from weeds. In order to secure stock plants, cutoff the tops once 

 or twice before transplanting, which should be about in July. Make the soil very rich with well-rotted manure, which should be dug in 

 deep; a moist, low rich bottom land or well-drained muck soil is preferable. Set the plants eight or twelve inches apart. To blanch, draw 

 ©arth around the plants from time to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the centre shoots. 1 oz. to 1000 plants.

 produce their finest early Celery. Plants of a yellowish- 

 green color, but as they mature the inner stems and leaves 

 turn a beautiful golden yellow, which adds much to their 

 attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much 

 easier. The handsome color, crispness, tenderness, freedom 

 from stringriness and fine nutty flavor of this variety mskf 



it only necessary to be tried in order to establish it as 

 the standard of excellence as an early sort. Pkt. 10c;
