Celery 
Four Ounpes of Seed Will Plant An Acre. 
One Ounce Will Produce About 3,000 Plante. 
Press celery seed into ground, do not try to cover, and 
when seed is kept wet and not above 60 degrees F. 
germination occurs in ten to twenty days. Celery 
needs four to five months from seed to use, so very 
early celery should be started in hotbeds after Janu¬ 
ary, and when two inches high transplanted or thinned 
to two inches. Later trim tops to produce stocky 
plants and when five inches high set where plants are 
to mature, first trimming off one-third of roots and 
leaves. Given sufficient water, celery can be grown on 
any good garden soil. 
GOLDEN FLUME. (115 days). This variety is an indi¬ 
vidual line selection from Golden Self-Blanching, but 
is vastly superior and is five to ten days earlier, pro¬ 
duces a larger stalk, blanches much more easily, is a 
richer color, being creamy yellow, and withstands 
blight much better. Fkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; 14 lb., $3.00; 
lb., $10.00, postpaid. 
WHITE FLUME. (120 days). This is a most desirable, 
early celery; it is practically self-blanching, conse¬ 
quently among the earliest ready for table. When 
growing, it presents a very attractive appearance, 
leaves are bright green, with nearly white tips. Easy 
to bleach, fine flavor, solid, bleaches early. Fkt., 10c; 
oz., 25c; y 4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. (120 days). By many 
thought to equal the famous French grown, although 
we do not consider it quite as good. It produces a more 
vigorous and stronger plant which does not pack as 
well in the usual size crates which market gardeners 
use. Fkt., 25c; oz., 50c; 14 lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00, postpaid. 
ADAMS’ EASY BLANCHING. (130 days). First class, 
medium height, white stalked, heart golden yellow, a 
very easy variety to bleach, a very popular variety 
to use between the Golden Self-Blanching and the late 
WINTER QUEEN. (140 days). One of the best green varieties. Fkt., 25c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.25; lb., 
winter varieties and we recommend it especially $4.00, postpaid, 
to market gardeners. It is tall and forms a large 
bunch. The leaves are light green, which blanch to a creamy 
white. Thick, solid, heavy stalk with large heart. Fkt., 10c; oz., 
25c; 14 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
GIANT PASCAL, or LARGE WHITE. (140 days). A mammoth, 
silver-white stalked variety of French origin, one of the best, if 
not the best, large green celeries still on the market. It is very 
productive and profitable. We consider it one of the best celeries 
for winter use. It is very easy to bleach and when done pre¬ 
sents a yellowish white color, very solid and crisp and having 
a nutty flavor. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
GOLDEN PHENOMENAL. For early planting. Very desirable 
for shipping. Plants ready for use early; full hearted; compact; 
with long, edible stalks that are thick, solid, blanch readily, and 
are of rich, nutty flavor. Similar to Golden Plume or Wonderful 
but with longer edible stalks. Fkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; 14 lb., $3.50; 
lb., $12.00, postpaid. 
Turnip-Rooted 
CELERIAC, or GERMAN CELERY. (120 days). This plant is 
used for the large turnip-like bulbs forming under the ground, 
the stems above ground are of no value except to use in flavor¬ 
ing. The seed should be sown and given the same treatment as 
any ordinary celery, except it is not necessary to earth up the 
plants. The roots can be readily kept till late in the winter and 
are excellent for soups, stews or salads. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 14 
lb., 75c; lb., $2.00, postpaid. 
CELERY — One-half pound at pound price. 
CRESS—Pepper Grass 
Culture. A refreshing salad of easiest culture. As soon as the 
ground can be worked in the spring sow thickly broadcast or in 
rows eight inches apart. Repeated sowings may be made every 
two weeks for a succession. 
DWARF FINE CURLED. (40 days). A small pungent salad of 
easiest culture. Seed should be sown early in rows about fifteen 
inches apart, and covered lightly; when two or three inches 
high it is ready for use. It is often mixed with lettuce and im¬ 
parts a warm agreeable taste to the salad. Fkt., 10c; oz., 50c, 
postpaid. 
TRUE WATER CRESS. (50 days). Succeeds only where the roots 
and stems are submerged in water. A highly prized salad of a 
pleasant and agreeable flavor. Should be planted wherever a 
suitable place can be found for it. Fkt., 10c; oz., 60c, postpaid. 
Golden Phenomenal.
