RESUS CELERY PLANTS. 
Celery plants can be supplied from June 15th to August 28th. 
We grow the following varieties, which we offer at the uniform price of 
40 cts. per 100, $3.00 per 1,000. 
(f wanted by mail add 15 cts. per 100 for postage.) 
Celery requires a moist, rich soil, and will not thrive in poor soil 
and dry situations. After the plants have attained a height of five or six 
inches they should be set out in rows three feet apart and six inches in 
the row. When twelve to fifteen inches high, the soil should be loosened 
by the use of the plow or hoe and the plants be “ handled.” This opera- 
tion consists of drawing the stems upright with one hand, and pressing 
the soil firmly against the plant with the other; by this process the plant 
grows upright, and can be easily cultivated and blanched by drawing the 
soil close up to the plant. Celery should receive thorough cultivation if 
good results are desired. To store for winter use, select well-drained 
ground, dig trenches one foot wide and deep enough to cover the tops of 
the plants. Pack the stalks in this in an upright position, covering with 
boards to shed the water; in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. 
White Plume. We offer a choice strain of this valuable and 
popular variety. The White Plume is unsurpassed for fall and early 
winter use, requiring very little earthing up to blanch it. (See cut.) 
Waite PLume CELERY.

in every way desirable sort, requiring but little labor to blanch. 
The heart is a rich golden yeliow, with light yellowish green 
outer leaves.

acter the variety is identical with the Golden Self-Blanching,

best varieties in cultivation; stalks long and thick, very com- 
pact, crisp and of fine flavor. 
Giant Paseal. A superior keeping sort. The stalks 
are very large, thick, solid, crisp and of rich nutty flavor; it 
blanches very easily and quickly, and retains its freshness a 
except the color, which is a beautiful rosy tinge, shading to 
very pale pink at top of stalk; it bleaches to a beautiful golden 
yellow at the heart after storing for winter; a good keeper and 
of the very finest quality.

Dwarf Rose. The red sorts surpass the white in 
flavor, and possess in their coloring a feature which renders 
them valuable as a table ornament. 
Golden Half-Dwarf. The best of the half-dwarf 
varieties, stalks large and full; the heart is golden yellow, 
turning to a light color when blanched. Very solid, rich flavor 
and good keeper.
