Golden Plume Celery 
One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 plants, a packet hOO to 500 plants. 
Celery is easily raised. The trouble most unskilled gardeners experience is in raising the plants. 
For very early planting the seed should be sown in the greenhouse or hot bed in February or first of 
March. For late crop the seed is sown in the open ground as early as possible. Great care must be 
taken not to cover the seed too deep. Most failures to get the seed to germinate are due to this cause. 
We give full directions for culture with every order for seed if requested. 
Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. Since the introduction of this variety some years ago 
it has grown steadily in popularity until now Golden Plume is the leading Golden or Self-blanching 
celery and it is without doubt the best of this type. 
Golden Plume is of a vigorous sturdy growth, forming heavy solid stalks and fine hearts, which 
blanch quickly and are of very fine quality. Our strain has proved to be very uniform in color (with¬ 
out any green plants), strong and healthy in habit of growth and with no soft stalks. We can con¬ 
fidently state that no better strain can be obtained, even at much higher prices.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—Old Strain. This is one of the best varieties forfalland early 
winter use. It blanches easily and the stalks are quite thick, solid and crisp. When blanched the 
stalks are creamy white, while the leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow. 
This is an excellent celery for the home garden as well as for market. 11 can be easily blanched in the 
field by placing boards on each side of the row. It will blanch perfectly when stored in the cellar or pit. 
The stalks are of short stocky growth, heavy, thick and with large, well developed hearts. 
This is considered the best type for storage. This strain is very uniform in color and type. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; y 4 Lb. 52.55; Lb. 58.75. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—New Strain. Grows much more rapidly than the old strain, 
and the stalks are longer and attain a good size much more quickly. It is, therefore, a better celery 
for early use or fall market. For late use growers prefer the old strain. The new strain is much more 
vigorous, grows faster and is almost “blight proof” as it resists the attacks of blight much better than 
the old strain. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; y 4 Lb. 52.55; Lb. 58.75. 
GOLDEN PHENOMENAL. This new variety is considered a taller and larger strain of Golden 
Plume or Wonderful. The stalks are longer from the root to the first joint and the whole plant is 
larger and more vigorous than other kinds. The individual stalks are thick, crisp and of fine quality. 
The heart is well developed and the whole plant is massive and heavy. The color is of the same 
golden tint as the well known Golden Self-Blanching. 
Many growers find this new celery to be a valuable market variety as well as being excellent for 
the home garden. This variety is a very vigorous grower and has done exceptionally well during the 
past dry hot summer.

Green Varieties 
SALT LAKE—The Best Green Celery. There is uo question but that green celery is superior to 
the Self-Blanching or yellow types in quality and flavor. We have in Salt Lake, the almost perfect 
green celery, that supplies a long felt need for a fine celery of this type. 
The stalks are large and the heart is well developed. There are practically no soft stalks, which is 
unusual with green celery. This celery blanches quicker than many green varieties and when blanched 
is pure white, very crisp, brittle and of the finest quality. 
The firm hard s talks keep well and we highly recommend this new celery for winter storage. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; V 4 Lb. 52.55; Lb. 58.75. 
GIANT PASCAL—Special Strain. This is an exceptionally fine strain, much superior to the ordi¬ 
nary Giant Pascal. This strain is used largely in New England and is considered one of the very 
best for late winter market. The stalks are very large, solid and blanch to a pure white. 
Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; y 4 Lb. 51.60; Lb. 55.50. 
EASY BLANCHING, or Sanford Superb. This is an excellent celery for late fall or early winter 
use. The stalks resemble Golden Self-Blanching, but blanch pure white instead of light yellow and 
keep better. The quality is even better than that variety. The celery called “Newark Market” is 
the same as our strain of Easy Blanching. We have a very fine strain of this celery which is far 
superior to the Easy Blanching usually sold. There are no soft or hollow stalks in our strain. 
Pkt. 12c; Oz. 60c; y 4 Lb. 51.90; Lb. 56.50. 
Columbia. Much resembles Golden Self-Blanching in growth and appearance, but is a green celery 
and does not blanch so quickly and keeps longer. A valuable kind for early winter market. 
Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; y 4 Lb. 51-60; Lb. 55.50. 
Celeriac or Turnip Rooted Celery 
A Really Delicious Vegetable. Although used exten¬ 
sively in Europe, Celeriac .is not so well known in this 
country but is becoming increasingly popular each year. It 
is a kind of Celery which forms large bulb like roots. The 
bulbs when cut into cubes, boiled and served with a cream 
sauce are delicious. It has a most pleasant nut like celery 
llavor, being much more delicate than turnips, parsnips, 
etc. A row in the garden will give you a very welcome 
addition to the list of fall and winter vegetables and it is 
well worth raising. The culture is the same as for Celery 
except that it needs no blanching. 
LARGE PRAGUE. Very large but rather coarse roots. 
This is the standard kind for market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; V 4 Lb. 85c; Lb. 52.75.
