Celery 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants. 
A row of Celery in the home garden will supply a family with 
a delicious vegetable until late in the fall. Its hardy qualities 
and adaptability to various soils and weather conditions make 
it a very desirable crop to grow. 
Culture: The proper time to sow is early in April, transplant¬ 
ing about the first of June. Set in rows 3 feet apart, and about 
8 inches between plants in the row. 
Curled Celery. This variety is a great favorite of the gardeners 
for cuttings and bunching. Its use for flavoring has made it 
very valuable and should be grown on that account. For use 
in soups, etc., it is unexcelled. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 65c; 
1 lb., $2.00.

and crisp. Plants full hearted and compact. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c;

Self-Blanching type. The handsome plants are heavy, very 
compact, stems are broad, and very thick. It grows about 18

like plant grown throughout the South and known 
in different sections as “Cole,” or “Greens.” It is 
extensively used for the table as well as for stock 
feeding in localities where it continues in growth 
and is usable throughout the entire winter. Col¬ 
lards will often succeed where cabbage cannot be 
grown successfully. 
Georgia or Southern. This vegetable develops a 
loose-leaved head. It grows 2 or 3 feet high and 
produces large light green leaves on rather long 
stems. A frost, if not too severe, will improve the 
crop. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c.

This hardy annual with aromatic leaves is some¬ 
thing like parsley, and many consider it superior 
in flavor. The young leaves are used in soups and 
for flavoring and garnishing meats and vegetables. 
Sow in early spring in rich, well prepared soil. 
The seed is slow to germinate, sometimes remain¬ 
ing in the earth two or three weeks before the 
plants appear. When the plants are about 2 inches 
high, transplant or thin to about 1 foot apart. 
They are ready for use in six to ten weeks from 
sowing.

handsome showing and has a pleasing fragrance 
and flavor. It grows vigorously and matures

or September sow the seed in shallow drills 
about 1 foot apart, covering with about one- 
fourth inch of fine soil 
firmly pressed down. 
On the approach of 
severe cold weather, 
cover with straw. The 
plants do well on very 
rich soil. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 30c; 1 lb.,
