Celery L 



In great favor for early Fall or Winter use 

 ndispensable for the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner 



Culture. — Celery seed is slow to germinate, and ample time must be given. Sow thinly in early spring 

 and cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 400 plants to a packet of seed, about 7,500 plants 

 per ounce or quarter pound per acre. When the seedling plants are 3 inches high they should be clipped 



at the top, to favor stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 4 "feet apart, 6 inches 

 apart in row. For home use celery is often grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, and plants 6 inches apart in each row, allowin ' 



space before setting out another double row. This will permit soil for banking for winter storage without lifting

Ready for use in 110 to 140 days. 



Maule's American 



189 



An Excellent Shipper. A Quick Money Maker 



Has Become the Favorite Self-Blanchmg Sort for Home and Market 



Maule's American Yellow Celery is au early, self-blanching 

 sort, very similar in many ways to XX French Grown Golden 

 Self-Blanching, except that it grows a larger stalk, with the 

 additional advantage that it fills a standard celery crate more 

 evenly, growing a little taller stalk than XX Golden Self- 

 Blanching. In the last 7 years we have sold hundreds of 

 pounds of Maule's American Yellow Celery to both amateur 

 and market gardeners, and they all praise it in the very highest 

 terms. The demand for this variety shows a large increase each 

 year and we feel very confident you will be entirely satisfied. 



Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 35 cents; ounce, 60 cents; 

 quarter pound, $2.00; pound, $7.50, postpaid. 



Celeriac 



189 MAULE'S AMERICAN YELLOW CELERY. 



m 



Or Turnip-Rooted Celery- 

 Culture is the same as celery, as the roots are 

 the edible portion it requires no hilling. The 

 large roots are smooth, without any side roots, 

 globular in shape. Flesh is pure white, tender 

 and of excellent flavor and quality. Celeriac de- 

 serves to be grown much more than it is, as the 

 roots are used for flavoring soups and salads, or 

 are boiled like turnips or parsnips, having the 

 pleasant celery taste.
