One ounce will produce 3000 plants 



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. 



r;j • j s-< |j Introduced in 1932, Florida Golden has 



Florida *J0106n. 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 slightly darker green than Golden Plume. The 

 stems are broad, thick, solid and the plants are full hearted 

 and very compact. The hearts of "Florida Golden" blanch 

 to a rich cream color of exceptionally fine quality and ex- 

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



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 QUEEN. 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. 



LONDON RED. 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.
