Golden Self Blanching—Long Top 
A &M 
Sow one-half ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; % lb. 
V.r>Ullurc per acre. Sow the seed from Jan. 1st to May 1st, in 
drills 6 inches apart, not too thick in the row to secure stalky 
plants. In June when the plants are strong-, transplant to 
furrows three feet apart and six inches deep. In some districts 
plantings are made in double rows. Set the plants six inches 
apart in the furrows; as the plant grows fill the earth toward 
the plant to secure proper bleacning. Never allow dirt to rest 
on the heart of the plant. Never work in celery when it is wet 
with rain or dew. Spray frequently with Bordeaux, to prevent 
mildew, and use Fluocide, a non-poisonous dust, for worms. 
Celery Rot —Do not allow water to stand during the heat of 
the day after irrigating. It will cause Celery Rot in the early crop. 
Hollow Stem —When the growth is rank and the stalks so 
close that free ventilation of air is retarded during the hot 
weather, the stems become soft and hollow; therefore we rec¬ 
ommend the single-row planting. 
A & M Golden Self Blanching (California 
We have two distinct strains of this seed, 
VjrOWn OeeU/ one being the standard height while the 
other is 6 to 8 inches taller. Please specify on your order which 
you want. The tall strain of A & M Celery grows rapidly, 
the outer leaves are quite tall on the long tops, so that the 
Celery 
grower may sometimes be inclined to market it before the heart 
is mature. Be careful about this and give it more time if neces¬ 
sary. If you are producing celery for the market see us about 
seed, for we have made a careful study of this particular crop 
over a period of years and can probably be of assistance to you. 
This type has been proven very satisfactory for shipping pur¬ 
poses wherever tried. Long top or short top. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.
