celery to me at $10. I would be willing to take orders. 



Mr. Work : Do some of you care to give orders condi- 

 tionally? 



(Ten pounds were ordered). 



Mr. Greffrath : I figure on sowing one-quarter pound to 

 the acre and having some to spare. Three ounces to the acre 

 would be a fair sowing. 



Mr. Work: If any of you are interested in samples of 

 American grown seed, we shall be glad to look into it. 



Late Celery. 



Mr. Howell: How about green celery? 



Mr. Greffrath : I would like to have Mr. Hallauer tell 

 us what is the best green celery being grown? 



Mr. Hallauer (Monroe County) : For a late keeping 

 winter variety I think French Success; for a medium early I 

 think Winter Queen. We have some French Success at the 

 present time just as fine as in the fall. 



Mr. Hov^ell: How stored? 



Mr. Hallauer: This I have is in cold storage. I would 

 also state that with French Success last year I found very 

 large differences in the strain of seed. The best I have found 

 is from Mr. Harris of Coldwater. 



Mr. Schwingel (Allegany County) : There is one from 

 the Holmes Seed Company very good for a green strain. 



Mr. Hallauer: There is a strain of green celery which 

 is called Meisch. This seed is grown in Setauket, N. J., by 

 Beulah. He has a little of this seed. It is very fine celery 

 if you can get the true strain. 



Mr. Greffrath : Mr. Hallauer, have you ever seen that 

 grown in New York State? 



Mr. Hallauer: Yes, I had a little myself at one time. 



Mr. Greffrfath : I brought some seed from the South. 

 We tried it in Syracuse, had about 3000 plants. It grew 

 beautifully, but I did not like the way it held up. It turned 

 spotty inside the leaf. I thought maybe it was a little too 

 tender. It evidently did not go that way with you.
