COLE'S VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



CELERY. 



Ger. Sellerie. Fr. Celeri. 

 One oz. will produce 4,000 plants. 

 This is one of the best, if not the finest, of 

 salad plants. Although largely grown at the 

 present time, still its production should be 

 greatly increased. It may be grown in any gar- 

 den with very little labor. Sow seed during 

 March or April in hot-bed, or in a box in the 

 house, or in the open ground in moist rich soil. 

 When sown in the open ground it vegetates 

 slowly When the plants are four to six inches 

 high, transplant in rows three feet apart and six 

 inches apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch 

 three or f )ur times during their growth, taking 

 care that no earth falls in the center of the 

 plant. Take up the plants late in the fall, just 

 before winter sets in, and remove to the cellar 

 and cover with sand or earth, for future use.

SOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. The introduc- 

 tion of this and the White Plume, marked a 

 decided advance in the use of this vegetable. 

 The readiness with which it is bleached and 

 r(3ady for market, makes it valuable to every 

 planter. In closing the stalks by simply draw- 

 ing soil up against the plant and pressing it 

 together the work of blanching is completed. 

 Can be highly recommended, with its com- 

 pact growth, and straight vigorous stalk. 

 The ribs are solid, crisp, brittle, and of delic- 

 ious flavor, surpassed by no other variety. 

 The heart is large, and of a beautiful, rich 

 golden-yellow color. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., 

 J4 lb. $1.00, lb. $3.00. 



WHITE PLUME. Each year adds to the popu- 

 larity and value of this variety. Like the 

 Goldzn Sclf-Blanchinch it requires very little 

 earthing up to blanch it. Its eating qualities 

 are equal to the very best other sorts, being 

 crisp, solid and of a rich nutty flavor. It is a 

 good keeper up to the holiday season, and for 

 early use is more extensively grown for mar- 

 ket than any other sort. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 

 cts., % lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.25.
