DREER'S WHOLESALE PRICE LIST. 



Golden Sblf-Blanching Celehy. 



New Golden Rose, Self-Blanching. In character 

 this variety is identical with the Golden Sell-Blanching, 

 except the color, which is a beautiful rosy tinge, shading to 

 very pale pink at top of stalk ; it lileatlies to a l>eautiful 

 golden yellow at the heart after storing for winter ; a good 

 keeper and of the very finest quality. 



CELERY PLANTS. 



Celery plants can be supplied from June 15th to Au<;ust 2.5th. We 

 grow the following varieties, which we offer at the uniform price of 



30 cents per 100, $2.50 per 1000, 



{If wanted by mail add 15 cents per 100 for postage.) 

 Celery requires a moist, rich soil, and will not thrive in poor soil 

 and dry situations. Alter the plants have attained a height of five 

 or six inches they should be set out in rows, three feet apart and six 

 iuches in the row. When twelve to fifteen inches high, the soil 

 should be loosened by the use of the plow or hoe and the plants 

 be " handled." This operation consists of drawing the stems upright 

 with One hand, aud pressing the soil firmly against the plant with the 

 other ; by this proc&ss the plant grows upright, and can be easily cul- 

 tivated and blanched by drawing the soil close up to the plant. 

 Celery should receive thorough ctiltivation if good results are desired. 

 To store for winter use, select well drained ground, dig trenches one 

 foot wide and deep enough to cover the tops of the plants. Pack the 

 stalks in this in an upright position, covering with boards to shed the 

 water ; in severe weather protect with straw or leaves.

 popular variety. The AVhite Plume is unsurpassed for fall and early
