thinly; cover lightly. Keep constantly

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, 
6inches apartinrow. For home use celery is often grown in double 
rows, 10 inches apart, without trenching, and banked for winter storage 
just where it grows, without lifting.

Self-Blanching 
Celery 
is undoubtedly the most popular and profitable celery in cul- 
tivation today. It is always in demand where good celery is 
appreciated. It gives the largest return for the labor. In 
quality it ranks with the highest, It is equally in favor with 
the amateur and market gardeners. It is dwarf to half dwarf, 
growing about 18 to 20 inches in height, wonderfully stocky, 
very heavy, perfectly solid, of delicate flavor and a good 
keeper. Added to these points is its great distinctive feature 
of being almost literally self-blanching. If I have been asked 
once, I have been asked during the last six months at least a 
hundred times by members of the trade what I was going to 
do the coming season for Golden Self-Blanching Celery. The 
weather in France, where my XX Strain is grown, has been 
worse this year than ever before; you have no doubt read in 
the papers of the disastrous floods and rains that have devas- 
tated France from one end to the other. In no other place in 
the world can Maule’s XX Golden Self-Blanching Celery be 
grown to perfection. Now possibly many celery growers are not 
aware of the fact that two-year-old celery seed grows just as 
well as one-year-old seed. On this account for many years I 
have always made it a point to carry over at least 600 pounds 
of my XX Golden Self-Blanching from one year to the other; 
sometimes I have carried over as much as 1,000 pounds. I 
turned down orders last spring, and considered myself sold 
out when I got down to the 600 pounds. Consequently, I 
start this season with 600 pounds, and while I should have 
received between 2 and 3 tons of new seed, I regret to announce 
that 1 received considerably less than 5 ewt. My first order for 
1911 was booked the 18th of last August, 100 pounds for $700

net cash, and the only reason I accepted this offer for 100 
pounds was because it was from one of my oldest and best 
customers. I give my readers this information so as to em- 
phasize the fact that if you want this seed in lots of 1 pound 
and upwards, I should hear from you early. As long as my 
supply holds out I shall sell what I have at $10.50 per pound, 
postpaid; 10 pounds or more, $10.00 per pound, by express, at 
purchaser’s expense.
