Golden 
Self 
Blanching 
Culture—Celery seed is slow to 
germinate — Sow thinly and cover 
lightly, and keep constantly moist. 
Sow the seeds early in a hotbed or 
cold frame. As soon as the plants 
are 3 inches high, transplant in a 
prepared border, setting them 4 
inches apart. When grown 6 inches,, 
and fine, stock plants, set in richly ma¬ 
nured, deep soil, in rows 3% feet apart 
and about 9 inches from plant to plant. 
Water, if dry weather follows transplant¬ 
ing. During the next two months all the 
attention that is required is to keep down 
the weeds. Afterwards, earth up a little, 
and continue doing so at intervals until 
only the tops of the leaves are visible in 
the autumn. Never hoe up the earth 
when plants are wet.

use. Critical gardeners generally depend upon our stock to pro¬

den. The plants are of medium size, compact and stocky, with 
yellowish green foliage. As they mature the inner stems and 
leaves turn beautiful golden yellow so that blanching is ef¬ 
fected at a minimum expenditure of time and labor. Its hand¬ 
some color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness, and 
fine nutty flavor have established it as a superior first early 
sort. Pkt., 5c; % oz., 40c; oz., 65c; 2 oz., $1.15; *4 lb., $2.00;
