CELERY 
Apio Sollerie Celeri 
Sow seed in frame or open ground. Transplant 4 inches apart, when 3 inches high, in rich 
soil finely pulverized; water and protect until well rooted, then transplant into rows 5 or 6 feet 
apart, either on surface or in well-manured trenches a foot in depth, half filled with well-rotted 
manure. Set the plants from 8 to 12 inches apart. To blanch, draw earth around the plants from 
time to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the center shoots. One ounce of seed will pro¬ 
duce 5,000 plants. 
Golden Self Blanching French Stock. 
The favorite and most popular celery 
on the market, east or west. A few 
years ago v/e were fortunate enough 
to obtain a limited quantity from the 
originator, which when tested, proved 
to be superior to anything we had 
ever seen. Samples given to market 
gardeners for trial proved so satis¬ 
factory that now, it is hardly possi¬ 
ble to supply their demands; in fact 
it has superseded all other varieties, 
which should be sufficient to recom¬ 
mend it to the most skeptical. It is 
heavier and more compact than any 
other kind, the stalks are thick, crisp 
and brittle, while the hearts are 
large, solid, and all blanch evenly a 
beautiful golden yellow. The qual¬ 
ity is excellent, tender, and of de¬ 
licious flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 
cts., lb. $4.50.
