One Ounce Will Produce About 3000 Plants, and Sow About 

 200 Feet of Row 



CULTURE. Sow the last of March or early in April in an open border, 

 in rich, mellow ground, in shallow drills, watering freely in dry weather. 

 Cut the tops off once or twice before planting out to make them stocky. 

 When the plants are 5 or 6 inclies high transplant the dwarf varieties 5 

 feet and taller sorts 4 feet between rows; plant 6 inches apart in the row. 

 Cultivate well, and when large enough blanch by earthing up. Th6 first 

 operation is that of "handling" generally done the beginning of September. 

 After the soil has been drav-ii up with a hoe, it is drawn closer around 

 each plant by hand to keep the leaves firm in an upright position and pre- 

 vent spreading. When the plants have become "set" in an upright posi- 

 tion and the celery is wanted for early use, they should be "banked." 



94. Golden Self-Blanching, Bolgiano's Special Strain. Very early. 

 Largely grown by market gardeners as well as home gardeners. The 

 beautiful appearance of the plant, with its close habit, compact growth 

 and straight, vigorous stalks, is faithfully shown in the illustration. The 

 ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious flavor. It is self- 

 blanching to a very remarkable degree, for without banking up or any 

 covering whatever, even the outer ribs become a handsome, fresh, yellow- 

 ish white color. The heart is large and solid and of a beautiful, rich, 

 golden yellow color. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; '/^ lb. $1.35; lb. $5.00. 



192. Golden Plume or Wonderful, a large, early celery of su- 

 perior quality and appearance. Large, heavy stalks with a full solid heart 

 of golden yellow. Easy to blanch, a good keeper and always 

 of the crisp, brittle and nutty quality so much desired. Very 

 resistant to blight and rot. Free from strings and hollow 

 stalks. Ready for the table in about 110 days. We consider 

 this and Bolgiano's Special Strain Golden Self-Blaching, two 

 of the finest celeries yet introduced. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 

 'A lb. $1.65; lb. $6.00, postpaid.
