CELERY 



A row of celery in the home garden will supply a family with 

 this delicious vegetable until late in the fall. Its hardiness 

 and adaptability to various soils and weather conditions make 

 it a very desirable crop to grow. 



Celery seed will sprout at comparatively low temperatures, 

 but it needs constant and abundant moisture, and for best 

 results the soil should be rich and well prepared. The 

 soil for starting plants should be fine and loose, and 

 seed must be covered only I4 inch deep. Germination 

 is slow, and even under favorable conditions 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. In other sections time of 

 planting can be governed accordingly. When seedlings 

 have 3 or 4 leaves well started, prick out about 3 inches 

 apart each way. Keep the soil well moistened at all 

 times and transplant to open ground when plants are 

 75 to 90 days old. Space the rows according to the 

 method of blanching; 5 to 7 feet are required for soil 

 blanching and 2 to 4 feet for other methods. Set the plants 

 8 to 1 2 inches apart in the row. To avoid pithiness or rotting of 

 the stalk do not cover celery for blanching during warm weather.

You'll be Delighted With the Good Qualities of This New Celery 



CELERIAC 



The roots instead of the leaf stalks of this kind of celery have 

 been developed by cultivation and are the part used for food. 

 They keep well for winter use and are excellent in soups and 

 stews, or cooked and sliced for salad. 



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

 common celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows 2 feet 

 apart and 6 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 2 inches, they are fit for use. 

 ^LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE An improved variety of turnip- 

 rooted celery producing large tubers of nearly globular 

 shape and comparatively smooth surface. 

 Pkt. 5c; 1/2 oz. 30c; oz. 50c; 2 oz. 80c.
