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 inches 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. The first 
operation is that of “handling” generally done the beginning of September.” 
After the soil has been drawn 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. (110 days.) 
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. 25 cts.; 14 Ib. 90 cts.; Ib. $3.25; 2-Ib.

This is constantly becoming more popular with gardeners 
owing to the fact that it is so much easier to grow than 
blanching celery. The large thick roots are very valuable 
boiled or used in soups, stews, and other dishes. Celeriae grows 
best in moderately moist well 
drained soils. They do well 
in almost any good garden 
soil and grow to perfection in 
cool seasons. 
Start the seed in boxes in- 
doors and when the seedlings 
are large enough to handle, 
transplant into the garden to 
stand about 8 to 10 inches 
apart each way. Use when 
the roots are moderately 
large size. They do not re- 
quire blanching.
