Self - Blanching Celeries

The ease with which they are grown 
should give them a place in every home 
garden. Plant the self-blanching kinds 
for earliest use, and the winter varieties 
for general use later.

low. It is an ideal celery for late fall and winter and keeps splendidly. It is a selection

blanches easily, makes large, extra heavy stalks with very large hearts. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c;

No. 141. Celeriac or Turnip Rooted Celery l 120 Days] —Grown exclusively for 
r •'its roots, which are fine for soups 
and stews or cooked and sliced as a salad. The roots keep all winter if packed in damp 
sand or put into kilns like beets, carrots and turnips. Plant and cultivate like celery ex¬ 
cept it does not require earthing up. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; V4 lb. 70c; lb. $2.50; 2 lbs. 
$4.50; 5 lbs. $10.00, postpaid. 
Plant in February, March or beginning of April, in drills 8 to 10 inches 
apart, either in boxes indoors or in a bed of fine, rich soil, barely covering 
seeds. If the soil is dry, press earth after covering, and keep clear of weeds, 
or the young plants will be smothered. Be sure the seed-bed is kept thor¬ 
oughly moist until the seeds have germinated. When four inches high cut 
off the tops to make the plants stocky. Transplant from July to October. 
August and September settings succeed excellently and require less labor 
than if set out earlier. To prepare a bed, dig trenches 6 inches deep and put 
in 3 or 4 inches of well-rotted manure, dig in well and cover with fine soil. 
Set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart, press the soil firmly and earth up as they 
grow, but do not let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe 
weather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and place 
boards on top; water-proof felt paper is also used. Celeriac needs no earth¬ 
ing up, and may be planted in rows 18 
inches apart. Celery seeds germinate 
slowly; soak for 24 to 36 hours before 
planting.

appetizing golden yellow. It is one of 
the easiest celeries to grow, for it

than most celeries. Golden Self-Blanch¬

Winter Celeries Giant Pascal Celery . 
Of firmer texture, more compact and solid than the self-blanching kinds, and consequently 
better keepers. For late summer and early fall use we recommend that a portion of your 
planting be one of the early kinds like White Plume and Golden Self-Blanching, but for 
general use during the winter that one of the winter varieties be planted. The varieties 
described below are not surpassed by any winter celery.
