CRISP CELERY TENDER 
CULTURE.—Celery seed is slow to germinate and ample time must be 
? iven. Sow thinly; cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 
,500 plants per ounce of seed, or *4 lb. per acre. When the seedling plants 
are three inches high they should be clipped, at the top for stocky growth, 
or else transplanted. 
Celery is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 3 
to 5 feet apart. For home use Celery is often grown in double rows, 10 
inches apart without trenching, and banked for Winter storage just where 
It grows, without lifting.

Perfected White Plume 
Perfected White Plume is the finest 
strain of White Plume Celery grown. 
This variety is most widely known and 
highly -valued by market gardeners 
throughout the northern country. It is 
the recognized best of the white varieties. 
Not only does the stem whiten, but the 
leaf itself, especially every inner leaf, as¬ 
sumes the attractive white color. Well- 
grown White Plume is simply perfect, 
both in palatability and beauty, but is not 
recommended as a long keeper. Our 
strain is extra choice. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c:
