Culture. For early or summer celery sow seed of the self¬ 
blanching sorts in either flats, frames, or in nursery row in the 
open, selecting soil in the highest flats under glass during February, 
and pick out singly or in section of row, into state of cultivation. 
In May to June set the plants in very rich and well prepared 
land, 6 inches apart in the rows and rows 3 or 4 feet apart. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. The best of all early self¬ 
blanching varieties. This is decidedly better in quality than 
the White Plume. It is ready for use nearly as early, blanches 
as easily, and is larger in size, as well as finer in quality. Pkt.,

grown seed. While the seed grown in America the first year 
from the French stock, as offered above, gives general satis¬ 
faction in the family garden. Pkt., 10c.; y oz., 15c.; oz., 
50c.; H lb., $2.00. 
FORDHOOK EMPEROR. Fordhook Emperor is a most dis¬ 
tinct variety of outstanding merit. It is a true dwarf type 
and, therefore, much easier to blanch than the taller growing 
sorts. The plants average fifteen to eighteen inches in height, 
while the blanched part is six to nine inches long. Pkt., 5c.; 
y oz., 15c.; oz., 30c.; y lb., $1.00.

broad, solid stalks, heavily ribbed, being of just the proper 
length for serving whole after trimming off the upper leaves.

GIANT PASCAL. This is a selection from the Golden Self- 
Blanching Celery. The stalks are very large, thick, solid, and 
crisp and keep well into the winter. It has a fine nutty flavor. 
It blanches with but slight earthing up and retains its fresh¬ 
ness a long time after being marketed. Pkt., 5c.; y oz., 10c.; 
oz., 25c.; y lb., 85c.

favorite Golden Heart Celery. Improved Golden Heart is 
one of the finest late varieties. The heart, when blanched, is 
a rich, golden yellow. Pkt., 5c.; y oz., 10c.; oz., 20c.; y lb.. 
75c. 
WHITE PLUME. This is the earliest and most easily blanched 
Celery in cultivation, but does not keep well when taken from 
the trenches. The plant grows rapidlyFand blanches easily 
during the summer months. Pkt., 5c.; y oz., 10c.£oz., 25c.
