PALMER SEED COMPANY, ST. LOUIS, MO. 
CELERY 
(One Ounce Will Produce 3,000 Plants) 
CULTURE: Celery seed is very slow to germinate. Plant seed in the hotbed or very 
early in open ground. When three inches high, transplant four inches apart in finely 
pulverized rich soil. In June or July, transplant 6 or 8 inches apart in rows three feet 
apart. Celery requires a great deal of water from the time the seed is sown until it is 
pulled. To blanch, drawn earth around the plants or boards or paper may be used. 
NEW GOLDEN PLUME: This new introduction is unquestionably the outstanding 
celery on the market. It is a new type selected from Golden Self-blanching, fully a 
week earlier, producing a semi-dwarf plant of vigorous growth. It has wider leaves, 
thicker stems and a full heart that bleaches quickly to a rich golden yellow. More re¬ 
sistant to blight and rust.Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; *4 lb. $1.50 
WHITE PLUME: The earliest and most easily blanched celery known, but as it lacks 
keeping qualities, it is grown for late summer and fall use exclusively. It has pure 
white stalks, is crisp and of good flavor.Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 14 lb. $1.00 
CUCUMBER 
(One Ounce Will Plant 50 Hills; 2 Pounds Will Plant An Acre) 
CULTURE: Cucumbers grow best in a rich, warm sandy loam. Sow seed when danger 
of frost is past, in hills 3 to 4 feet each way. Sow thickly half an inch deep and thin 
out to three or four plants to the hill. 
PALMER’S WONDERGREEN: (60 days). Palmer’s Wondergreen is the earliest of 
the White Spine types, producing a tremendous yield of fruit 7 to 8 inches long, cylin¬ 
drical in shape and of a rich dark green color. In productiveness, flavor, appearance 
and all around good quality, it cannot be surpassed. In addition to these very desirable 
qualities, its outstanding point is that IT WILL STAY GREEN longer than any other 
variety. This makes it valuable for home gardens and 
general market uses.Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00 
DAVIS PERFECT: (65 days). A very long, white spine variety averaging 11 to 12 
inches Skin, dark green and smooth, holding its color well. Popular for outdoors or 
forcing. Inclined to taper at the ends.Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75 
LONGFELLOW OR VAUGHAN: (70 days). An unusually long and attractive cucum¬ 
ber, which naturally will not yield as many cucumbers as some of the small varieties. 
It will average under good conditions 12 to 15 inches in length, which should compen¬ 
sate for the lower yield.Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN: (70 days). The best all around late cucumber for both 
pickles and slicing. Grows 12 to 14 inches long, slender and tapers at the ends. Dark 
green with pure white flesh. Turns yellow at 
maturity.Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00 
CHICAGO PICKLING: (Westerfield). (60 days). We consider this the best small 
pickling variety. Quite similar to Boston Pickling or Green Prolific and is more pro¬ 
ductive. Averages longer and thicker than Boston Pickling, measuring about 7 inches 
long by 3 inches thick.Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00
