PLANTING DIRECTIONS—1 oz. for 3,000 plants; 4 oz. required 
for 1 acre. 
Celery does well in muck land but can be grown in any good— 
perfectly moist—garden soil. Sow in rich soil, in boxes inside or 
in frames under glass. When plants are 2 inches high, transplant 
again in boxes or cold frames 2 inches each way. Seeds germinate 
slowly in about 20 days. Dig trenches 4 feet apart and 6 inches 
deep, set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart in the trench. When plants 
are full grown fill in the trench for blanching. 
GOLDEN PLUME— Stalks are short—the heart is large, with a 
protecting tuft of foliage in the middle. More vigorous than Golden 
Self Blanching, it withstands heat and blight better. Is a beautiful 
gold in color, brittle and of the highest table quality. 
COIiUMBIA —A desirable early maturing variety following Golden 
Self Blanching. Stalks thick, round and crisp. It is unsurpassed 
for its distinct rich, nutty flavor. 
WHITE PLUME —An attractive quick growing early variety, well 
known for the short time necessary in blanching. Suitable for the 
home garden and market on account of earliness. Imported stock. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING— This grand Celery is of French 
origin. It has the same self-blanching habits as White Plume, but is 
heavier and more compact, though not so early. Grows to good size, 
is very tender and free from strings, the heart large and solid, crisp, 
brittle, of excellent quality, and beautiful golden color. 
GIANT PASCAL —The stalks are large, thick, solid and crisp. Fine 
keeper. Has an agreeable almond flavor and is absolutely free from 
bitterness. It requires but little earthing up to blanch and keeps its 
freshness a long time after being marketed. 
CELERIAG OR ROOTED CELERY 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—1 oz. for 5,000 plants. 
LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE— A turnip-rooted celery which keeps 
well for winter use. Used largely for flavoring soups. The variety 
offered here is perhaps the best and most widely known. Produces a 
smooth and almost round root. 
CRESS OR PEPPERGRASS 
WATER CRESS —Easy to get started from seeds along cool brooks. 
It does best when the water is pure, cool and clean. Can also be grown 
in a shady place in the garden when it can lie watered often. It self 
sows and will last indefinitely when once established. 
UPLAND CRESS —Sow in rich soil in rows 15 inches apart and thin 
out 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. Cover one-half inch deep. Cress is 
best grown in partly shaded locations. Leaves may be used in 6 
weeks from time of sowing. Easy to crow in boxes in the house dur¬ 
ing winter. 
Golden Self-Blanching Celery 
Green Curled Endive 
ENDIVE 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—One-quarter ounce 
to 100 feet of row; 4 pounds to one acre. 
Endive is grown in the same way as lettuce, 
but requires a longer time to develop. It takes 
about 50 days to grow a crop. Sow early in May 
in rows 15 inches apart and thin to 1 ft. apart 
in row. Endive should be blanched by tying up 
the outer leaves like celery when the plants are 
full grown. Draw up the soil about the plants. 
GREEN CURLED —Resembling a tuft of moss, 
and one of the best salads. Foliage finely cut; 
crisp, tender and fine flavor. Valuable salad plant 
for fall and winter use. 
BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN —This variety 
has rather smooth leaves, with thick, nearly white 
mid-ribs used for flavoring soups. 
WHITE CURLED —-A splendid variety, leaves 
curled, does not need to be tied up to bleach. 
MOSS CURLED —Grows compact; the medium 
green leaves are finely cut; bleaches creamy 
white.
