CELERY 



Sellerie, Ger. 



Giant Pascal 



CULTURE — So%v in March or beginning of April in drills 8 or 10 inches apart, in a bed of fine, rich soil, cover- 

 ing to a depth of one-fourth of an inch. If the soil is dry-, press the earth with back of spade or roller after cover- 

 ing, and keep clear of weeds, or the young plants will be smothered out. Transplant from July to September. Sep- 

 tember plantings succeed excellently, and require less labor than setting out earlier. To prepare a bed for Celerv. 

 throw out the earth to a depth of 6 inches, 4 or 5 feet wide, and put in 3 or 4 inches of well-rotted manure, dig in we'll 

 and cover with fine soil. Set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart, in rows 1 foot aoart. press the soil firmlv to the roots, 

 and when the plants are large enough, earthing up can be commenced. The plants will need to be earthed up two or 

 three times, and in doing this care should be taken not to let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe 

 cold weather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and place boards on top; waterproof felt paper is 

 also used. In such a bed the stalks will blanch perfectly, an d may be taken out during the winter for sale or use, as 

 required. In field culture, when the celery is to be earthed up in the field for early use, the plants are set on the 

 surface, in rows 4 feet apart, and the plants set 6 inches ap art in the row ; or, if the plants are to be taken up and 

 blanched in the cellar for winter use, they may be set in rows as close as 2 feet apart. Celery requires frequent 

 cultivation, and the earth drawn up to the plants as rapidly as it makes growth. Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted Celerv. 

 needs no earthing up, and may be planted in rows 18 inches apart. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY 



Originator's stock. French-grown seed. A 

 vigorous-growing and handsome variety, 

 decidedly better in quality than the White 

 Plume, and is larger in size. It is of com- 

 pact growth, with a large, solid heart, and 

 thick-ribbed stalks which blanch easily. It 

 is crisp and solid, free from stringiness, and 

 of most delicious flavor. Color beautiful 

 golden yellow, both stalks and leaves.

 gardeners. My strain of this variety is un- 

 surpassed. Packet, 5 and 10c; oz., 75c; %

 earlier than any other Celery, being entirely

 earthing up to blanch. It is handsome in 

 appearance and of good quality, but as it is
