Celery, White Plume 
CELERY 
(1 oz. of seed will produce 6,000 plants) 
CULTURE —Sow thinly and cover very 
lightly; a little sprinkling of earth is all 
that is necessary. Select a moist place 
and water if the bed becomes dry. When 
the plants have reached a height of about 
four inches, lay off shallow trenches about 
two feet apart and set out portion of the 
plants in good, rich, well manured soil, ten 
inches apart, cutting off the tops. Water 
during dry weather and keep them grow¬ 
ing. Hoe frequently and gradually draw 
the soil up about the plants as they grow. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING — The 
Standard and best early sort. Of dwarf, 
compact habit, with thick solid stalks 
which blanch easily to a clear, waxy yel¬ 
low. Stalks crisp, free from stringiness 
and of delicious flavor. Our stock of seed 
is the finest obtainable. 
WHITE PLUME —A well known sort; 
early, handsome and blanches easily. 
GIANT PASCAL —The very best keeper. 
When blanched it is of a beautiful yellow¬ 
ish white; crisp, solid, and of a delicious, 
nutty flavor. 
Celeriac or Turnip Rooted 
Celery 
GIANT PRAGUE —For seasoning and 
garnishing. 
Swee 
(1 qt. of seed to 3U0 ft. of row. 
8 to 10 qts. per acre) 
CULTURE —Beginning with Extra Early 
Adams as soon as danger from frost is 
over, small plantings should be made every 
week to provide a constant supply of 
sweet, tender ears. The early sorts may 
be planted up to within eight weeks of 
frost. Early Minnesota, Mammoth White 
Cory, etc., are early sorts. For main crop 
Stowell’s Evergreen is the standard and 
best paying sort. Country Gentleman is 
exceedingly sweet and fine flavored. Late 
Mammoth is the largest and latest of all. 
EARLY EVERGREEN— It is earlier than 
Stowell’s by considerable, resembles it very 
closely in size and shape, has the same 
fine, sweet flavor, and besides is more uni¬ 
form and remains in condition fit for use 
longer. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN— Certainly a 
fine sort. Ears average nine or ten inches 
in length, but what it lacks in size is more 
than equaled in superior quality and pro¬ 
ductiveness. It sometimes yields as many 
as five or six ears to the stalk. Deep 
grained and exceedingly sweet and juicy.
