CELERY 



(Sellerte) 



One ounce will produce about 3000 plants. One-half pound of seed sufficient to sow one acre. 



Culture. — Sow the last of March or early in April, in drills 8 to 10 inches apart. The seed should be covered 

 very lightly or merely pressed into the earth. When fairly out of the seed leaf they may be transplanted to another 

 bed, or else thinned out to 4 inches apart, and let them grow until wanted for transplanting out into the beds 

 or trenches in July. Some gardeners trim off the tops a httle, while the plants are small, to make them grow 

 more stocky. The trenches should be shallow, and about 4 feet apart, and wide enough to hold one or two rows. 

 These rows should be 1 foot apart and the plants set about 6 inches apart in the row. As the plants grow, they 

 should be earthed up to blanch them, care being taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant.' For 

 keeping over the Winter, bank up with earth and cover over with litter to keep out the frost, placins boards on 

 top to keep out the rain.

New York Giant Self-Blanching 



It is earlier and larger than White Plume, and fully as 

 large as Golden Self -Blanching; very soHd and of 



excellent flavor. It is by far the best white Celery 

 that we know of, and can be sown very earlv without 

 running to seed. It originated in a block" of Giant 

 Pascal, having the size and quality of the parent, but 

 with a distinct self-blanching habit, which runs 

 wonderfully true to type. As a table Celery we know 



of no superior,

New Easy Blanching 



An attractive fea- 

 ture of this variety 

 is that while the other stalks are green, it naturally 

 produces many golden hearts which are decidedly 

 crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. In addi- 

 tion to these desirable qualities, it is one of the best 

 of the Winter-keeping Celeries, and may be allowed 

 to remain in the trench for a long time, and T\-ill come 

 out in first-class condition, solid and free' from rot. 

 The plants make a strong growi:h and are very easy 

 to blanch which is a decided advantage to the am- 

 ateur gardener, and also a valuable feature for the 



market grower.
