CELERY- Continued 



,jT, . 131 A handsome, very early variety. The leaves are light, bright green at base, shading nearly white at tips. 



Wnite "lUme as the plants mature, the inner stems and leaves turn white and require to be earthed up but a short 

 time before they are in condition for use. Although very attractive, we do not think that it compares favorably with the 

 Golden Yellow Self Blanching either in flavor or solidity, or that it will remain in condition for use as long. White Plume has 

 been much in demand as a market sort on account of its very attractive appearance and requiring a very short time for 

 blanching. It is suitable also for the home garden. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 40c; 2 Oz. 75c; y\ Lb, $1.10; Lb. $4.00 



^1 , . An early maturing sort of most excellent shape and quality for the home market and private garden. It is 

 (^Olumbia. extensively grown for shipment. The plant is of medium height but very stocky and heavy. The stalks are 

 thick, almost round, resembling in shape those of Giant Pascal. The color, however, has in it more of the rich yellow tint of 

 Golden Yellow Self Blanching, which variety it resembles very much in appearance when trimmed and bunched for the market. 

 The outer foliage of the plant when growing is rather light green with tinge of yellow, becoming when blanched yellow with 

 tinge of green. The heart when properly blanched changes from yellow with tinge of green to a light golden yellow. In 

 season it follows in close succession Golden Yellow Self Blanching. We introduced Columbia in 1906. Our strain has no 

 superior in beauty of golden shading, solidity and size of stalk. We consider it unsurpassed in its rich nutty flavor. (^See cut

An erect, compact growing midseason or fall variety. The stalks are moderately thick, solid and 

 crisp, becoming when blanched attractive light yellowish white. This variety is also sold as Large 

 Ribbed Kalamazoo and Kalamazoo. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; Va Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



Dwarf White Solid 



^ . Q I This is a green leaved variety developed from the Golden Yellow Self Blanching and we recommend it as 



vsiant JraSCal being of the very best quaUty for fall and early winter use for the home garden and market. It blanches 



to a beautiful yellowish white color, is very solid and crisp, and of a fine nutty flavor. The stalks are of medium height, very 



thick, the upper portion nearly round but broadening and flattening toward the base. With high culture this variety will 



give splendid satisfaction as a large growing sort for fall and winter 



use. In the south it is prized more than almost any other kind.

Wf . D 1* This is considered the most attractive in color 



Winter Keliance and the best in quality of any of the late keep- 

 ing sorts. The plants are moderately dwarf, erect and compact, with 

 solid heart. The habit of growth is very well adapted for late keeping. 

 When ready for the late market the stalks are a very attractive light 

 creamy yellow. The quality is unsurpassed by any variety of its class 

 and is decidedly superior to most of the older, long keeping sorts. 

 We recommend it as the best variety for the late market. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 35c; 2 Oz. 60c; 1/4 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.50 



|-i 'L> A late maturing variety which keeps the best 



rrencn S OUCCeSS of any celery yet introduced. The growth is 

 compact and short in stem so that the plants may be well earthed up 

 for blanching while growing close together. The foliage is dark green. 

 The heart is large, solid and is formed early. The stalks become when 

 blanched almost white or very light creamy yellow, thick, yet brittle, 

 without stringiness and of good quality. It requires more time to 

 mature than some sorts but remains firm, solid and in fine condition 

 until late in the spring. Pkt, 5c; Oz. 35c; 2 Oz. 60c; 'A Lb. $1.00;

^ . . • ■ g-s I This is not suitable for blanching but 

 OOUp or V^Utting l^elery the seed is sown thickly in rows. The 



tops grow very rapidly and furnish a succession of cuttings throughout 

 the season. The stalks are cut when three or four inches high for use 

 as flavoring for soups or stews. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c;

 CELERY SEED FOR FLAVORING. Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; 1/4 Lb. 20c; 

 Lb. 50c. 



In this kind of 



celery, the roots have been developed by cultivation 



and not the leafstalks. The roots, which are the edible portion, keep 



well for winter use and are excelleiit for soups and stews. They are 



also cooked and sliced as a salad. 



Sow seed at the same season and give the same treatment as common 

 celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six 

 inches apart in row. Give thorough culture. It is not necessary to earth 

 up or "handle'' the plants. After the roots have attained a diameter of 

 two inches, they are fit for use. To keep through winter pack in damp 

 earth or sand and put in the cellar or leave out of doors, covering with 

 earth and straw like beets and carrots.

 ^.'rtninate. sometimes remaining in the earth four or five weeks before 

 ■ ht^ plants appear. When the plants are about two inches high, trans- 

 plant or thin to about one foot apart. They are ready for use in six to 

 >n\ weeks from sowing.
