In great favor for early 

 Fall or Winter use. 



CELERY 



Indispensable for the Thanks- 

 giving or Christmas dinner. 



CULTUKE. — Celery seed is slow to germinate, and ample time must be given. Sow thinly in early spring and cover lightly. Keep constantly 

 moist. Count on about 400 plants to a packet of seed, about 7,500 plants per ounce or quarter pound per acre. When the seedling plants are 3 

 inches high they should be clipped at the top, to favor stoolty growth, or else trausplanted. 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, and plants 6 inches apart 

 in each row, allowing 4 feet of space before setting out another double row. This will permit soil for banking for winter storage without lifting. 

 Ready for use in 110 to 140 days.

 Self-Blanching Celery 



XX Selected French Grown 



The Strain of XX Selected French Grown Golden Self -Blanching 

 Celery we are offering this year retains all the characteristics of this 

 variety, but is stronger in all its parts, more vigorous, about one-fifth 

 taller and very regular in type. It is, in some ways, an improvement re- 

 sulting from rcselection worlc on Golden Self-Blanching Celery, 



Owing to its greater vigor of growth, it develops more rapidly, re- 

 quires more space, and therefore should not be planted as close as the 

 former strain to make its proper development. 



Maule's Golden Self-Blanching is a money making celery. 

 No gardener or trucker should fail to plant this grand sort, 

 producing beautiful golden yellow stalks very early in the 

 season. 



It is dwarf to half dwarf, growing about 25 inches in height, 

 wonderfully stocky, very heavy, perfectly solid, of delicate 

 flavor and a very good keeper, ready for the table or market 

 in 110 days. Added to these points is its great distinctive 

 feature of being literally self-blanching. 



All the largest and most experienced celery growers plant 

 Maule's Golden Self-Blanching XX Selected French Grown 

 seed. The top notch prices which they receive from their 

 commission merchant j^roduces an enormous profit annually. 



Maule's Golden Self -Blanching 



XX Selected French Grown 



Produces a bumper crop of excellent celery 



which stands shipping better than most other sorts, and 

 brings the highest market prices. In the home garden the 

 golden yellow stalks, which are crisp, and nutty in flavor, 

 keep in good condition until Christmas or New Year. 



We have had this seed grown for us in France by the same 

 grower for a number of years, so we know our stock is right.
