The Ball Lightning Celery Handler 



When putting on the paper bleaching tubes, the operation is made easier 

 by using the Ball Lightning Celery Handler. This is a spring brass imple- 

 ment which gathers up the foliage so that the bleaching tubes can be placed 

 without damage to the plant. This operation is demonstrated in picture. 

 Price, Brass, S5.00; Tin, S2.30. Packed weight, 3 lbs.

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 6 x 12 size is usually used on medium or average size celery; the 6J^ 

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