LANGERS SEED AND FLORAL CO., TUCSON, ARIZONA 
CELERY 
(APIO) 
One ounce to three thousand plants or two hundred 
feet of drill. 
Sow the seed from January 1 to July 1, 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 4 feet apart and 6 inches deep. 
Set the plants 6 inches apart in the furrows. As the 
plant grows, fill the earth toward the plant to secure 
proper bleaching. Never allow dirt to rest in the heart 
of the plant. Never work in celery when it is wet with 
rain. 
Ready for table in 160 to 170 days from seed. 
GIANT PASCAL —The most popular of the newer 
green winter varieties. Rather tall, with stems nearly 
round. When blanched is white, brittle and of es¬ 
pecially good flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 75c; 
lb. $2.00, postpaid. 
WHITE PLUME —Used mostly for a very early crop. 
Comparatively easy variety to grow, as it is fairly 
hardy, and being naturally white is very easy to 
blanch. Forms a good, medium-sized bunch. Is of ex¬ 
cellent flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 75c; lb. 
$2.00, postpaid. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING- —French-grown. This 
is the most popular market variety in use especially for 
early crop. The plant is naturally golden yellow, but 
needs to be blanched to make it tender and brittle. 
Forms a rather small bunch. Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; *4 lb. 
$1.50; lb. $4.00, postpaid. 
CELERIAC 
(TURNIP BOOTED CELERY) 
Grown for its edible root, which is similar in appear¬ 
ance to a turnip. Not used for greens. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
50c, postpaid. 
SUGAR OR SWEET CORN 
(MAIZE DULCE) 
One pound to 150 hills; 15 lbs. to the acre. 
Plant any time from April to August. July, just at 
the start of the rainy season, is one of the best months 
to plant. Should be planted in rows about 3 feet apart 
and 12 inches apart in the row. Intensive cultivation 
at all times is necessary. Cultivate after each irriga¬ 
tion until the corn shades the ground. Irrigate every 
two weeks until in the milk, then once or twice a 
week. This will produce a solid, tight husk which will 
prevent worms from doing damage. While the selec¬ 
tion of varieties is limited to a few, Sweet Corn proves 
a most desirable crop to the grower. First ears can 
be picked in from 55 to 85 days. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN— Has a long white cob of 
closely filled “shoe-peg” kernels; is sweet and ten¬ 
der. Pkt. 5c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, prepaid. 
GOLDEN BANTAM —Very early, dwarf in habit and 
a good yielder. Creamy yellow grains, very fine fla¬ 
vor. Pkt. 5c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, prepaid. Write 
for prices in larger quantities. 
EARLY ADAMS —Not a sweet corn but used largely 
for first early as it is very hardy, and matures quickly; 
is tender and good quality. Can be grown successfully 
in our climate. Pkt. 5c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
EARLY MAMMOTH —Very reliable market variety. 
Plants short and stocky with dark green leaves; ears 
10 to 14 rowed, snowy white, of excellent quality, and 
covered with a strong husk. 95 days. Pkt. 5c; lb. 
35c; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
FAPAGO —The ears are well filled and of excellent 
flavor, making it unexcelled for a table corn. Each 
kernel of seed will produce from six to eight stalks 
which grow to a height of from 7 to 8 feet, and each 
stalk will produce one or two ears. It is also unex¬ 
celled as an ensilage corn. The stalks are juicy and 
sweet and are greedily devoured by all kinds of stock. 
Grown for ensilage will produce from twenty-five to 
thirty tons of silage to the acre. As Papago is a na- 
Golden Self Blanching 
tive of Arizona, it readily withstands drought and makes 
a crop where other varieties would fail absolutely. It 
is extremely hardy and well able to withstand the 
attacks of all insects. Pkt. 10c; lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
ROASTING EAR CORN 
HICKORY KING —Produces very large wide grains 
on an extremely small cob. Ears from 8-10 in. in 
length. Makes excellent roasting ears and is much 
used in place of Sugar Corn. Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50 
Postage extra.

prized as a roasting ear corn. Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50. 
Postage extra. 
FIMA —The most drought resisting and quickest ma¬ 
turing corn grown. When planted in February green 
corn can be had on the market by the first of June. 
When planted in the summer weather, it will make 
roasting ears in 45 days after planting. The dried corn 
is used a great deal for making tamales. Lb. 20c; 10 
lbs. $1.50. Postage extra. 
POP CORN 
JAPANESE HULLESS —A dwarf medium late variety 
of excellent quality and a sure popper. The stout 4 
inch ears with uneven rows furnish hard, flinty ker¬ 
nels. Pkt, 5c; lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.00. 
WHITE RICE —Most popular variety, very prolific. 
Ears short; kernels long resembling rice in shape. Color

CUCUMBERS

prolific. With favorable weather they can be had ready

picked, they will produce abundantly until fall. 
Two or three pounds are required to plant an acre.
