other strains to produce premature seed-stalks. The hearts blanch to a 
rich cream color, of excellent flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; Vioz. 40 cts.; V2° z -

HOW TO GROW CELERY—To 
have matured Celery early in the sum¬ 
mer, sow seeds of the early varieties 
under glass in February; set the plants 
out in May. Celery seed is by no means 
so easy to grow as most other seeds. 
For fall and winter crops, sow the seed 
in April or May, depending on the con¬ 
dition of the soil. To get Celery seed to 
germinate and give you a good stand of 
strong plants, you must have the soil 
worked deep, very fine and loose, moist 
and warm. Sow the seed in rows a foot 
apart for hand cultivation. Keep moist; 
prevent soil from becoming dry or 
“crusted.” In June set out the plants 
6 inches apart in the rows, having the 
soil prepared. Make the rows 2 to 
3 feet apart. Blanching is done by 
banking up the earth around the plants 
gradually until within a few inches of 
the top, also by use of Russeloid 
Bleaching Paper (we have it), and by 
use of boards. One ounce will produce 
about 5,000 plants, 15,000 plants for 
each acre.

Schell's Allheart Celery 
Allheart is a late Celery, the result of a most exhaus¬ 
tive selection of certain type plants which possessed the 
four essentials necessary for the best Celery, which are 
flavor, abundance of hearts, size, and attractive appear¬ 
ance. There are big bunches of hearts in each stalk; it 
grows as high as White Plume. Its flavor is like that of 
Giant Pascal, but it does not resemble it, being more 
stalky, light green, blanches up easier and to a rich 
golden yellow. One of the best keepers. I urge all my 
customers to grow Allheart, knowing that it will please 
and prove profitable. We have received many letters 
from Celery-growers praising Allheart. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
V 2 OZ. 45 cts.; oz. 85 cts.; Vilb. $2.75; lb. $9. 
Golden Self-Blanching French,

and its very beautiful golden yellow color makes it 
exceedingly attractive. The stalks are thick, broad, 
very crisp, brittle, and solid. It is ready for market 
earlier than any other. Pkt. 15 cts.; Vi° z - 4® cts.;
