CELERY 
Sedano (It.) 
Bleich (Ger.) 
One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 
plants, a packet 500 to 500 plants. 
Celery is easily raised. The trouble most 
unskilled gardeners experience is in raising 
the plants. For very early planting the seed 
should be sown in the greenhouse or hot bed 
in February or first of March. For late crop 
the seed is sown in the open ground as early 
as possible. Great care must be taken not to 
cover the seed too deep. Most failures to get 
the seed to germinate are due to this cause. 
We give full directions for culture with 
every order for seed if requested. 
For the home garden it is often more satis¬ 
factory to buy the plants. See page 47.

A Large Field of Harris' Golden Plume Celery 
Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. See also natural color photo 
on page 11. This is without doubt the best of the Yellow or Self¬ 
blanching types and has grown steadily in popularity since its introduc¬ 
tion some years ago. Our strain has proved to be of a very even golden 
color, strong and healthy of growth and with no soft stalks. No better strain 
can be obtained, even at much higher prices. 
Pkt. 15c; l / 4 Oz. 30c; Oz. 90c; 1/4 Lb. $3.15; Lb. $11.00. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—Old Strain. This is one of the best 
varieties for fall and early winter use and storage. It blanches easily and 
the stalks are quite thick, solid and crisp. When blanched the stalks 
are creamy white, while the leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow. 
This is an excellent celery for the home garden as well as for market. 
It can be easily blanched in the field by placing boards on each side of 
the row. It will blanch perfectly when stored in the cellar or pit. 
The stalks are of short stocky growth, heavy, thick and with large, well 
developed hearts. This strain is very uniform in color and type. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; 1/4 Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—New Strain. Grows much more rapid¬ 
ly than the old strain, and the stalks are longer and attain a good size 
much more quickly. It is, therefore, a better celery for early use or fall 
market. For late use growers prefer the old strain. The new strain is 
much more vigorous, grows faster and is almost “blight proof” as it 
resists the attacks of blight much better than the old strain. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; V 4 Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GOLDEN PHENOMENAL. This new variety is a somewhat taller strain 
of Golden Plume or Wonderful. The stalks are longer from the root to 
the first joint and the whole plant is larger and more vigorous than other 
kinds. The individual stalks are thick, crisp and of fine quality. The 
heart is well developed and the whole plant is massive and heavy. The 
color is of the same golden tint as the well known Golden Self-Blanching. 
Many growers find this new celery to be a valuable market kind as well 
as being excellent for the home garden. This variety is very vigorous and 
has made a very good growth well during the past dry hot summer. 
Pkt. 15c; 1/4 Oz. 30c; Oz. 90c; »/ 4 Lb. $3.15; Lb. $11.00. 
Green Varieties 
SALT LAKE or Utah. The Best Green Celery. There is no question but that green celery is 
superior to the yellow types in quality and flavor. We have in Salt Lake, the almost perfect green 
celery, that supplies a long felt need for a fine celery of this type. 
The stalks are large and the heart is well developed. There are practically no soft stalks, which is 
unusual with green celery. This celery blanches quicker than many green varieties and when 
blanched is pure white, very crisp, brittle and of the finest quality. 
The firm hard stalks keep well and we highly recommend this new celery for winter storage. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; V4 Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GIANT PASCAL—Special Strain. This is an exceptionally fine stock much superior to the ordi¬ 
nary Giant Pascal. This strain is used largely in New England and is considered one of the very 
best for late winter market. The stalks are very large, solid and blanch to a pure white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; V 4 Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
EASY BLANCHING, or Sanford Superb. This is an excellent celery for late fall or early winter 
use. The stalks resemble Golden Self-Blanching, but blanch pure white instead of light yellow and 
keep better. The quality is even better than that variety. The celery called “Newark Market” is 
the same as our strain of Easy Blanching. We have a very fine stock of this celery. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; 1/4 Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.50. 
CELERIAC —Turnip Rooted or "Knob” Celery 
A Really Delicious Vegetable. Celeriac is becoming 
increasingly popular each year. It is a kind of Celery which 
forms large bulb like roots. The bulbs when cut into cubes, 
boiled and served with a cream sauce are delicious. It has 
a most pleasant nut like celery flavor. A row in the garden 
will give you a very welcome addition to the list of fall and 
winter vegetables and it is well worth raising. The culture 
is the same as for Celery except that it needs no blanching. 
LARGE PRAGUE. The Standard Market Kind. Our 
stock will produce very large even roots. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 1/4 Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75. 
DELICACY. The best kind for the home garden. The 
roots or “knobs” are not quite as large as the Large 
Prague but are nice round bulbs of the finest quality, 
more tender, of more delicate flavor and matures earlier. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; Vi Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25.
