The BALL CELERY BLEACHING TUBES 



The Ball Celery Bleaching Tubes are made of heavy paper, waterproofed 

 and with care may be used over and over again for several years. The plant 

 is drawn together and the tube slipped over it. The celery should_ be nearly 

 full grown before putting on our bleaching tubes. At this time, with plenty 

 of moisture, heart growth is very rapid, and celery will often be in prime 

 condition in from 8 to 14 days. 



For the late or winter crops these bleachers can be put on just before banking 

 ■with soil; they will prevent dirt from entering the heart of the plant. The 

 result, sanitary cleanliness, more than repays the cost, especially for private use. 



The 6x12 si^.e is usually used on medium or average size celery; the 6}4 

 s 13 for large stalks. The 7 X 14 is best for very big celery.
