A fine crop of Schell’s Florida Golden Celery grown by Mr. John Goeke, New Jersey 
Schell's New Celery, Florida Golden. g£g t f 0 r r ea ‘ 
Golden Plume having a greater length, we developed through pure line breeding 
the selection which we now offer as Florida Golden. It has all the good qualities 
of Golden Plume plus greater height and weight of plant, and the edible portion 
of the stem is larger. It shows less tendency than other strains to produce 
premature seed-stalks. The hearts blanch to a rich cream color, of excellent 
flavor. Pkt. 10 ets.; V 4 OZ. 50 cts.; V 2 oz. $1; oz. $2; 2 ozs. $3.75; ^lb. $6;

CELERY 
HOW TO GROW CELERY—To 
have matured Celery early in the 
summer, sow seeds of the early 
varieties under glass in February; 
set the plants out in May. Celery 
seed is by no means so easy to grow 
as most other seeds. For fall and 
winter crops, sow the seed in April 
or May, depending on the condition 
of the soil. To get Celery seed to 
germinate and give you a good 
stand of strong plants, you must 
have the soil worked deep, very 
fine and loose, moist and warm. 
Sow the seed in rows a foot apart 
for hand cultivation. Keep moist; 
prevent soil from becoming dry or 
“crusted.” In June set out the 
plants 6 inches apart in the rows, 
having the soil prepared. Make the 
rows 2 to 3 feet apart. Blanching is 
done by banking up the earth 
around the plants gradually until 
within a few inches of the top, also 
by use of Russeloid Bleaching 
Paper (we have it), and by use of 
boards. One ounce will produce 
about 5,000 plants, 15,000 plants 
for each acre. 
My Celery seed is of the high 
standard of quality required 
for high-class trade. Try it; you 
will see the difference. 
Schell's Allheart Celery 
Allheart is a late Celery, the result of a most exhaus¬ 
tive selection of certain type plants which possessed the 
four essentials necessary for the best Celery, which are 
flavor, abundance of hearts, size, and attractive appear¬ 
ance. There are big bunches of hearts in each stalk; it 
grows as high as White Plume. Its flavor is like that of 
Giant Pascal, but it does not resemble it, being more 
stalky, light green, blanches up easier and to a rich 
golden yellow. One of the best keepers. I urge all my 
customers to grow Allheart, knowing that it will please 
and prove profitable. We have received many letters 
from Celery-growers praising Allheart. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
V^oz. 45 cts.; oz. 85 cts.; Vilb. $2.75; lb. $9.

exceedingly attractive. The stalks are thick, broad,
