Golden Yellow Self Blanch- 

 ing, Dwarf, is an excellent 

 home garden celery. It is early 

 and blanches easily. 



CELERY 



Plant 



Celery seed will sprout at 

 comparatively low tempera- 

 tures, but it needs constant 

 and abundant moisture. The 

 soil for starting plants should 

 be fine and loose, and seed 

 must be covered only J^ inch 

 deep. Seed cannot be expected 

 to start within two weeks. 

 For fall and winter use in the 

 North it may be planted from 

 March 15th to April 15th. 

 When seedlings have 3 or 4 

 leaves well started, prick out 

 about 3 inches apart each way. 

 Keep the soil well moistened 

 and transplant to open ground 

 when plants are 75 to 90 days 

 old. Set the plants 8 to 12 

 inches apart in the row. 



CRISPHEART This desirable 

 new type of green celery is 

 earlier and easier to blanch

 but compact; stems thick 

 and smooth. Rich, mild

 the plants. After the roots have attained a diameter of 2 inches, they are 

 ready for use.

 appear. When the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant or thin to 

 about 1 foot apart. They are ready for use in 6 to 10 weeks from sowing.
