CELERY. 
This is a neglected crop in this section. It is 
impossible to grow except for fall maturity, and 
with this in view seed should be sown in Ajiril, 
May and June. Seed bed must be kept damp, 
the seed sown on the bed and barely covered, 
but at no time should the bed be allowed to 
dry out. If celery is covered more than a 
quarter of an inch it will not germinate. When 
plants get three to four inches high they should 
be sheared (top leaves cut off) to encourage 
stocky growth. This should be done two or 
three times. 
Celery requires a moist and fertile soil. 
If your soil is not rich make it so with 
heavy applications of well-rotted manure or 
commercial fertilizers. When plants are six 
inches high (July or August) they may be set 
in the trenches six inches apart, the trenches 
being two and a half to three feet apart, and as 
fast as plants grow keep drawing up the earth, 
leaving only a small bunch of leaves exposed, 
thus blanching it as it grows. Celery not well 
blanched is neither salable nor eatable. What 
are known as “green varieties,” have the best 
fiavor, although it is a little more troublesome 
to blanch them. They have the rich nutty 
flavor so desirable in celery . 
Savannah Market Celery. 
SAVANNAH MARKET. 
One of the best for this section for family gardens. A 
strong, vigorous grower, making a satisfactory crop where 
other sorts fail. Large, solid and of first-class fiavor. 
Stalks, when well blanched are a clear white, with light 
golden yellow centers. When rightly grown it is crisp and 
tender, making a fine appearance. Packet, 5 cents; half 
ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 60 cents; 
pound, SI .90. 
MEXICAN SOLID. 
Stalks crisp, rounded and solid. A most reliable variety 
for this section. No other can compare with its ability to 
withstand either heat or cold. Of medium size, and when 
well grown has the rich, nutty fiavor similiar to that grown 
in tlie Kalamazoo, Mich., districts, which is so desirable in 
celery. Packet, 5 cents; half ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 
cents; quarter pound, 60 cents; pound, $2. 
WHITE PLUME. 
This has proven well adapted to this section. Is early, a 
fairly vigorous grower, and is easily blanched with but 
little earthing up. Makes a handsome appearance and is 
of good quality. It must, however, be used up early, as 
it does not keep well late into winter. Packet, 5 cents; half 
ounce, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter pound, 50 cents; 
pound, SI. 75. 
Giant Pascal — An immense variety, growing two and 
a half to three feet high on rich land. On account of its 
size it is difficult to blanch properly. It is solid and of 
fine fiavor when rightly grown. Packet, 5 cents; halt 
ounce, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter iiound, 45 cents; 
pound, SI. 50. 
Golden Self -Blanching — We do not advise planting 
this variety in this section. Packet, 10 cents; half-ounce. 
15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound. SO cents; pound, 
$3.00. 
Celeriac — Turnip-rooted celery, for salad only. Packet, 
5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents.
