DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST. 



CELERY PLANTS. 



Celery plants can be supplied 

 from June loth to August 25th. 

 Ve grow the following varieties, 

 which we offer at the uniform 

 price of 



40 cts. per 100. 



$3.00 per 1000. 



Celery requires a moist, rich 

 soil, and will not thrive in poor 

 soil and dry situations. After 

 the plants have attained a height 

 of 5 or 6 inches they should be 

 set out in rows three feet apart 

 and six inches in the row. When 

 twelve to fifteen inches high, the 

 soil should be loosened by the 

 use of the plow or hoe and the 

 plants be "handled." This 

 operation consists of drawing the 

 stems upright -with one hand, aud 

 pressing the soil firmly against 

 the plant with the other ; by this 

 process the plants grow upright 

 and can be easily cultivated and 

 blauched by drawing the soil 

 close up to the plant. Celery 

 should receive thorough cultiva- 

 tion if good results are desired. 

 To store for winter use, select 

 well drained ground, dig trenches 

 I foot wide and deep enough to 

 cover the tops of the plants. 

 Pack the stalks in this in an 

 upright position, covering with 

 boards to shed the water, and in 

 severe weather protect with straw 

 or leaves. 



New Rose. In this variety we have a combina- 

 tion of the best qualities of Celery. The red sorts 

 surpass the white in flavor, and possess in their 

 coloring a valuable feature as a table ornament. 



Early Arlington. An improvement on the Bos- 

 ton Market, being earlier and of larger growth aud 

 blanches rapidly. 



Boston Market. An excellent half dwarf sort of 

 vigorous and bushy habit, producing many side 

 shoots. Blanches perfectly white, is very ^weet, 

 crisp and of excellent flavor. 



Dreer's Large White Solid. The best of the 

 large growing sorts. Stalks firm, white and sweet, 

 will not become pithy if grown on moist soil. 



Golden Dwarf. A standard variety of great 

 merit. In size it is the same as the half dwarf 

 kinds ; the heart is large, full aud of a fine golden 

 yellow color. 



Henderson's Dwarf White. This variety is 

 perfectly solid, the stalks half round. When 

 blanched it is a yellowish white, crisp, tender, and 

 of a fine nutty flavor.

 while its qualities are equal to the best, being 

 crisp, solid, aud having that nutty flavor peculiar 

 to some of the red kinds.

 and in every way desirable sort, requiring but 

 little labor to blanch. The heart is a rich golden 

 yellow, with light yellowish green outer leaves. Of 

 dwarf, compact habit, rich nutty flavor and an 

 excellent sort for table decoration. 



Giant Rascal. A superior keeping sort. The 

 stalks are very large, thick, solid, crisp, and of a 

 rich nutty flavor, free from any trace of bitterness ; 

 it blanches very easily and quickly, and retains its 

 freshness a long time after being marketed. The 

 heart is golden yellow, very full and attractive in 

 appeyance.
