thinly; cover lightly. Keep constantly 
moist. Count on about 7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or 144 pound per 
clipped at the top, to favor stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery 
is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 4 feet apart, 
6 inches apart in row. 
For home use celery is often grown in double 
rows, 10 inches apart, without trenching, and banked for winter storage 
acre. When the seedling plants are 3 inches high they should be | just where it grows, without lifting. 
Hl Maule’s XX Selected Strain 
Golden 
Self-Blanching 
Celery 
Our XX French Grown Self-Blanching Celery is absolutely 
the best strain of this variety we know of. It is as true to 
type as any variety on the market. In quality it ranks with 
the highest. It is the favorite sort with both the market 
gardener and the amateur. 
It is dwarf to half dwarf, growing 18 to 20 inches in height, 
wonderfully stocky, very heavy, perfectly solid, of delicate 
flavor and a very good keeper. Added to these points is its 
great distinctive feature of being almost literally self-blancing. 
We have had this seed grown for us in France by the same 
grower for a number of years, so that we know our stock is 
right. We havea large contract this year, but on account of 
conditions now existing in France it is very doubtful about 
the quantity we will receive, therefore, we advise our customers 
to place their orders as early as they can. 
REPORT of an interview one of our representatives, visiting Cal., had 
with Mr. Goodall, of Mitchell & Goodall, 124, 126 and 128 Washing- 
ton St., San Francisco, Cal., who have planted Maule’s XX Golden 
Self-Blanching Celery for years past, and have always been our largest 
customers for seed of this variety. Mr. Goodall stated that in putting 
out 8,000,000 plants of our XX Golden Self-Blanching Celery, he found 
but 6 pink stalks, about 12 White Plume, and very few green stalks, 
possibly 50. They had 375 aeres planted in celery (about 22,000 plants 
per acre) every stalk was our XX French grown Golden Self-Blanching.
