Celery 
Appetizing, Crisp, Cool and Refreshing 
One ounce of seed will produce about two thousand 
plants. For an early supply start seed of an early 
variety indoors in flats during February. Cover with 
sand and keep moderately moist, because celery seed is 
rather slow to germinate. For a later supply start with 
a winter variety, sowing any time between the middle 
of March and April Ist. Celery requires a moderately 
rich, well-prepared soil to grow to perfection. Proper 
blanching before use is very important. 
276 Golden Seif-Blanching. 115 days. A favorite early

den culture because it blanches readily. Medium- 
sized stocky plants with thick, solid, crisp stalks of 
distinct flavor. Has a beautiful compact clear golden 
yellow heart and is as flavorful as it looks appetizing.
