Celery. 
Seleri — Apios—Sedanio Acci. 
Sow seeds in hotbed or very early in open ground (it is slow to germinate, and should be kept 
moist). Sow in straight rows for convenience in weeding when plants are small. When five or six 
inches high thin out or transplant to five inches apart. Celery requires very rich soil and plenty of 
water. 
Plants may be set from May to the middle of August. Large growers set 
the crop level with the surface, having previously plowed in all the manure 
possible, and setting in rows three to four feet apart and five or six inches 
in the row. 
Golden Plume. Many pronounce this the best golden self-blanching 
celery in existence; the result of more than twenty year’s extreme care 
and selection. Golden Plume has taken first prize at several National 
Vegetable Growers’ Conventions. Our stock is an extra choice improved 
strain of “Golden Plume,” also called “Wonderful” developed from origi¬ 
nator’s stock, and grown from best and earliest plants. It excels other 
self-blanching sorts in earliness, size, attractive appearance and table 
quality. Golden Plume is blight-resistant, and free from strings or hollow 
stalks. Price per pkt., 10c.; oz., 60c.; lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 
Florida Golden. Florida Golden is the same in season as Golden Plume, 
which it resembles. The great difference is that the edible portion of 
the stem is longer and the plant remains in condition longer than Golden 
Plume. Florida Golden is just a little taller than Golden Plume and an 
improvement over that variety. The plants are full-hearted, blanch to 
a rich cream color of exceptionally fine quality and excellent flavor. The 
stems are crisp and free from strings. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 70c.;
