Sellerie ( Ger .) 
CELERY 
Sedano (It.) 
An ounce of seed will prodv.ce about 8000 plants. It requires 20,000 plants to the acre. 
For very early planting the seed should be sown 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. More 
failures to get the seed to germinate are due to this cause 
than any other. 
Golden Plume or Wonderful 
The Best Yellow Celery 
We consider this the finest all around celery of the 
“blanching” type in existence. 
The stalks of our special stock are very large with 
remarkably heavy hearts and with thick solid stems, un¬ 
usually long between the root and first joint. There is 
not one green stalk in a thousand and no soft ones. 
This strain is quite blight-resistant. Often where 
other kinds are badly affected with blight or rust our 
stock of Golden Plume will be found in the same field 
perfectly healthy and entirely free from blight. 
The seed is of strong germination and we can con¬ 
fidently recommend it. There is no finer strain obtain¬ 
able at any price.

Golden Self Blanching Old Strain 
Dwarf—Full Hearted—True Stock 
We have a very fine stock of this popular variety. The stalks are large, just high enough to 
nicely fill a standard celery crate without trimming, and have large heavy hearts. Good celery 
men find this is a very profitable strain to grow.

This is the largest strain of Golden Self Blanching. It resembles Golden Plume but is 
a little longer from the first to second joints. Very large fine celery can be grown from

A very good variety to follow Golden Self-Blanching. It is the same dwarf, compact 
habit of growth, blanches easily and quickly, and is of fine quality. The leaves are 
green and the stalks pure white when blanched. The strain we offer is very carefully 
grown and is far superior to the seed usually sold.

very best for late winter market. The stalks are large, very solid and blanch pure white. 
This strain is far superior to the ordinary Giant Pascal. 
"Have used your seeds for the past four or five years and like them very much, in fact better than any I purchased pre¬ 
viously. During this time I have recommended your seeds to a good many in this locality, who in turn after trying them I 
think feel the same as I do,” Milton Davis, North Woodstock, N. H. Feb. 28, 1931*. 
“We have used Harris' Seeds for several years and find them extra good.” G. M. Rynders, Cohocton, N.Y. Mar. 20,1931*. 
“I have found your seeds and service most satisfactory in every way since I began rising your seeds.” Andrew Green,
