Celery 



Culture. — Celery seed Is slow to germinate, and ample time must be 

 given. Sow thinly ; cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on 

 about 7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or ^ pound per acre. When the 

 seedling plants are 8 inches high they should be 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 lor winter storage just where it grows, 

 without lifting.

MAULE'S AMERICAN YELLOW CELERY. 



Maulc's American Yellow Celery 



Has Become the Favorite Self-Blanching Sort for Bome and Market 



Maule's American Yellow Celery is an early, self-blanching 

 sort, very similar in many ways to XX French Grown Golden 

 Self-Blanching, except that it grows a larger stalk, w'ith the 

 additional advantage that it fills a standard celery crate more 

 evenly, growing a little taller stalk than XX Golden Self- 

 Blanching. In the last 5 years we have sold hundreds of 

 pounds of Maule's American Y'^ellow Celery to both amateur 

 and market gardeners, and they all praise it in the very high- 

 est terms. The demand for this variety shows a large increase 

 each year and we feel very confident j'ou will be entirely satis- 

 fied with results from the seed. 



Packet, 10 cents; quarter onnce, 20 cents; half ounce, 35 cents; 

 onnce, 60 cents; quarter ponnd, $2.23; pound, $8.00, postpaid.

Celeriac 



Or Turnip-Rooted Celery- 

 Culture is the same as celery, as the roots are 

 the edible portion it requires no hilling. The 

 large roots are smooth, without any side roots, 

 globular in shape. Flesh is pure white, tender 

 and of excellent flavor and quality. Celeriac de- 

 serves to be grown much more than it is, as the 

 roots are used for flavoring soups and salads, or 

 are boiled like tu-nips or parsnips, having the 

 pleasant celery taste.
