HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
CELERY— SORTS FOR WINTER USE AND 
STORING 
Q UITE a number of these are available, and their 
relative popularity depends entirely on the section 
of the country in which they are grown. Some sections 
have developed sorts of their own, as for instance, Kala- 
mazoo, Mich., famous for its celery of that name. Per- 
haps the most widely grown winter celery is Giant Pascal, 
a large stalked, heavily ribbed, deep green sort of great 
dependability in all soils and sections. 
Winter Queen is a great favorite throughout New Eng- 
land and the East. Giant White Solid and Dzvarf Golden 
Heart are two other dependable sorts, the pronounced 
characteristics of which are described in their names. 
Celery may be stored where it is grown by putting 
additional soil over it, after mulching the top with hay 
or straw and banking up the sides with boards. Or 
the plants may be lifted and packed in a cool, frost-proof 
cellar or frame, as shown above. This will blanch them.
