Celery can be grown in any garden soil, but the finest is 

 produced in deep, mellow bottomland. Seed for early crops 

 should be sown in hotbeds about March 15. The plants may 

 be either thinned to give them room to grow, or transplanted 

 to another bed to grow until it is time to plant them in the 

 open ground. For main crop, seed should be sown in the open 

 as soon as the soil and air are warm enough. They should be 

 covered lightly, and firmly pressed into the earth with a 

 board, if the soil is fine and mellow. The seed-bed must be 

 kept free from weeds, and well watered in dry weather. 

 When the plants are large enough, transplant them to shal- 

 low trenches or furrows, from 4 to 6 feet apart, according to 

 the variety grown. 



FLORIDA GOLDEN. Introduced in 1932, Florida Golden has 

 after exhaustive tests proven that it is a superior, very 

 early variety and remarkably well adapted for early fall 

 Celery in northern sections. The plants are 22 to 25 inches 

 tall, compact, full hearted and pack well in crates. The 

 edible stalks which are 8 to 10 inches long, blanch readily, 

 are thick, crisp and of splendid flavor. The foliage is slight- 

 ly darker green than Golden Plume. The stems are broad, 

 thick, solid and the plants are full hearted and very com- 

 pact. The hearts of "Florida Golden" blanch to a rich 

 cream color of exceptionally fine quality and excellent 

 flavor. The stems are crisp and free from strings. Florida 

 Golden will fill the needs of the shipper, the market grower, 

 and the home gardener for this type. 



GOLDEN PLUME or Wonderful. This new Celery has made a 

 sensation among the market-growers who have tried it. 

 Closely resembles Golden Self-blanching but matures a 

 little earlier and blanches more readily. Moreover, it seems 

 to be particularly resistant to Celery diseases. Has a large 

 solid heart which blanches to a beautiful yellow. 



WHITE PLUME. Tall growing; extra-early. Easily blanched, 

 and one of the very handsomest sorts grown. In large 

 plants the stalks, hearts, and inner leaves become white 

 without any blanching. 



EASY BLANCHING. An early variety which blanches with 

 remarkable ease and is suitable for both early use and 

 winter keeping. It is of upright habit with thick, brittle 

 stock and heavy heart. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (American-grown seed) Dwarf, 

 compact, early variety, easy to blanch. Large, solid, golden- 

 yellow hearts of nutty flavor and quite crisp. 



THE WINTER KEEPERS 



EMPEROR. A green Celery for winter use; dwarf in habit. 

 Stalks smooth and very thick. Blanches white with heart 

 tinged yellow. In eating quality, it is unequalled being un- 

 usually meaty and brittle with a rich nutty flavor. 



GIANT PASCAL. The stalks are broad, thick, and about 2 

 feet high; blanches quickly; rich nutty flavor; tender, crisp. 



WINTER Q.UEEN. Of medium height and strong, robust 

 growth; stalks thick and heavy, with numerous hearts; 

 perfectly solid, rich and of delicious nutty flavor; a fine 

 winter keeper. 



STANDARD BEARER. A splendid red variety of compact 

 and sturdy habit, robust growth and superior quality. The 

 unique rich flavor of the red Celeries is highly appreciated. 



CELERIAC 



PRAGUE GIANT. Grown for the large, turnip-shaped roots 

 which, when boiled, become quite tender and possess a 

 strong Celery flavor.

BE CHERT'S SUPER SNOWBALL. A very vigorous strain 

 that is quite resistant to weather conditions. Head is per- 

 fectly protected by leaves and is fit for the table four 

 months after sowing the seed. Large snow-white heads of 

 finest texture. Recommended for forcing and out-of-doors. 



SELECTED SNOWBALL. An early, compact strain with solid, 

 white heads which keep in condition a long time. The 

 outer leaves are erect which tends to protect the heads 

 from the hot sun. 



DANISH GIANT or Dry Weather. Not quite as early as Snow- 

 ball, but produces equally as perfect a head. Withstands 

 dry weather better than any other sort. 



VEITCH'S AUTUMN GIANT. A distinct late variety with 

 firm, white heads.
