CELERIAC, or TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY 



(J^noEen ©erierie) 



Sow in early spring; transplant the seedlings in May. They will be ready for cooking 

 in October, and may be preserved in dry sand for use during winter. Celeriac is said to 

 be as fine a nerve tonic as celery, and can be grown in many sections where celery culture 

 is practically impossible. The roots have almost the same flavor as white celery stalks, 

 while they keep much longer than celery. An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. 



PRAGUE GIANT. Roots are very large. When young they are quite tender and 

 marrow-like, having a very fine flavor and cooking quickly. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts.
