CELERY 
176 Golden Plume or Wonderful x @ . 
Early maturing, blight resistant (115 days) 
A perfected type developed from the famous Golden Self-Blanching. Plants 
are semi-dwarf, but have taller, thicker stalks than Golden Self-Blanching. 
The creamy hearts are very large and tightly folded. When blanched, the 
stalks are an attractive light golden yellow. The flavor is rich and pleas- 
ing. Quite resistant to blight. It’s the favorite celery in the United States, , 
since it combines great tolerance to varying soil and weather conditions @ 
with exceptionally fine eating quality.

182 Giant Pascal * 
Also known as Winter King (140 days) 
Stalks are thick, solid, entirely stringless, brittle, and of a rich, nutty 
flavor. Leaves are upright, short and dark green. When properly blanched, 
the stalks are a beautiful yellowish white. They are very broad and quite 
prominently ribbed, without, however, showing any signs of fiber. Giant 
Pascal is easy to grow, reasonably quick to blanch, and if properly stored 
can be kept throughout the winter. The favorite winter celery, following 
along in perfect succession after Golden Plume.

Golden Plume 
Best flavored celery. Large heart (130 days) 
Stalks are always brittle, stringless, and 
blanch to a fine, silvery white. Delicious 
flavor. Hearts are large and tightly folded. 
Plants are stocky, dwarf, 15 to 18 in. high, 
and therefore easily blanched. Excellent for 
fall use; one of the best for winter storage.

186 Easy Blanching 
The quickest to blanch (130 days)

rich flavor and crispness, but the stalks

from any fiber or strings. Blanching is ac- 
complished quickly and completely.

Cultural Suggestions: For earliest celery, sow the 
seed thinly in the house or hotbed in February or 
early March. For a late crop for fall use or winter 
storing, sow the seed in frames or a Specially pre- 
pared seedbed in the open ground as early in the 
$pring as the soil can be worked up into a loose 
condition. Cover seed with no more than % in. of 
fine soil. Keep evenly and moderately moist until

Set plants 6 to 8 in. apart in single rows 4 ft. apart 
or double rows 1 ft. apart, allowing 4 ft. of space

about 7,500 plants; 14 lb. for an acre.
