Celery, Hart & Vick* 
One package of seed will produce about 
Celery seed is very slow in germinating and 
should be sown in March in flats under glass 
and kept moist. When plants are 2 inches 
high, thin out and transplant to stand 3 
inches apart each way. When 5 inches high, 
set out, 6 inches apart, in trenches 6 inches 
deep. Cut off outer leaves and press soil 
firmly about roots. Cultivate thoroughly. 
When full grown, blanch by mounding grad¬ 
ually with earth or by pressing stems together 
by board on both sides of row. For winter 
storage, take up the plants with roots and 
place upright on wet soil in a dark cellar 
or root-house, packing closely. Those who 
grow Celery for market will be interested to 
know that we have a proved strain of 
the old original Dwarf Golden Self-blanching 
Celery. 
HART & VICK’S GOLDEN WONDER. In 
our opinion the finest early Celery, both 
for the home-garden and for market, that 
has ever been introduced. It is tall-grow¬ 
ing, with more edible stem than any other 
kind. The plants are heavy and compact, 
full-hearted, and very upright-growing. 
Stems are broad, thick, brittle, and free 
from strings. The flavor and quality is 
unusually good. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 25c; 
34 oz. 40c; oz. $1.25.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 
This is the Celery that is generally grown 
for market and is a splendid kind for your 
own home-garden. It is early, dwarf¬ 
growing, and easily blanched. The stalks 
are thick, solid, crisp, and brittle. The 
quality is excellent, tender, and free from 
stringiness. Grow this kind for fall and early 
winter use. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 45c; oz. 75c. 
EMPEROR. A late variety especially 
adapted to winter use. The stalks are 
white, thick, large, and solid, with a pale 
yellow heart, and will average about 
18 inches high. Pkg. 15c; 34 ° z - 40c; oz. 65c. 
GOLDEN PLUME. A new and very fine 
early Celery for both the home-garden and 
for market. The stalks are large and heavy 
with a full, golden yellow heart. An easy- 
blanching kind, always crisp and brittle, 
and a splendid keeper. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 
60c; oz. $1. 
White Plume. An extremely early and very 
easily blanched variety of particularly good 
flavor. The stalks are white, the foliage 
light green. We recommend it for early 
garden and market use only, as it does 
not keep at all well. Pkg. 10c; 34 oz. 25c; 
oz. 40c. 
Improved New YorK Spineless Eggplant 
Easy-blanching or Sanford Superb. A 
Celery resembling Golden Self-blanching, 
but the leaves are green and stalks white 
instead of yellow. Stalks of same form and 
heavy heart as the Golden and blanch very 
quickly and easily. A very fine Celery for 
fall and winter use. It keeps well, has fine 
quality, solid and stringless. Pkg. 10c; 
34 oz. 30c; oz. 50c. 
Utah or Salt Lake. Not only of very high 
quality, but this new green-leaved Celery 
is a splendid keeper and we recommend it 
for winter storage. The stalks and heart 
are large and easily blanch a pure white. 
They are crisp, brittle, and of wonderful 
flavor. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 50c; oz. 85c. 
WINTER QUEEN. A splendid winter¬ 
keeping Celery with a very large heart. 
Compact in growth, crisp, and has a 
delicious nutty flavor. Late Celeries re¬ 
quire a different treatment from the self¬ 
blanching sorts. After a slight banking up 
in the open ground, the plants are put 
. away in deep trenches to blanch. Kept 
this way in contact with earth, they 
acquire greater tenderness and more flavor. 
Pkg. 10c; 34 oz. 30c; oz. 50c. 
Celeriac (Turnip-rooted Celery) 
GIANT PASCAL. Splendid green-leaved 
winter Celery for home- and market- 
gardens. Stalks are extra large, quite 
broad, and solid. The color is pale green, 
but the stalk blanches readily to white 
with a creamy white heart. For late winter 
use no variety approaches Giant Pascal. 
Pkg. 10c; 34 oz. 30c; oz. 50c. 
Columbia. An early winter, green Celery 
that keeps a long time. Pkg. 10c; 34 oz. 
30c; oz. 50c. 
Celeriac 
Turnip-rooted Celery 
This delicious vegetable, although used 
extensively throughout Europe, is but little 
known in this country. If you do not grow 
it you are missing something really good. It 
resembles Celery but has an enlarged, 
turnip-like root in place of stalks that will 
keep for almost a year when packed in sand 
in a cool place. Cultivate same as Celery, 
except no hilling is necessary. It is cooked in 
various ways, boiled and creamed, put in 
stews or sliced very thin and put in boiling 
water, then served cold in salads. Every 
gardener should grow it.
