Do Not Neglect to Order Plenty of Celery 
Golden Self-Blanching. 
Celery 
One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants. 
Seed small, yellow, slightly striped gray; Celery odor. 
Sow seed in cold frames or in a warm seedbed outdoors, 
in rows 8 to 10 inches apart, covering seed one-fourth 
inch. Transplant when fairly out of the seed leaf to 
another bed, or thin to 5 to 6 inches apart. The plants 
should be set in shallow trenches in July, wide enough 
to hold one or two rows. The rows should be a foot 
apart and the plants be set 8 inches apart in the row. 
Earth up gradually to blanch, being careful not to get 
earth in the heart of the plants. 
Giant Pascal. One of the finest of the fall and winter 
sorts. The stalks are very large, thick, solid, and 
crisp, with a delicious nutty flavor free from bitter¬ 
ness. It blanches easily and quickly. 
Golden Self-Blanching. A very good early self-blanch¬ 
ing Celery. It is a vigorous, compact grower, with 
straight, rich golden yellow stalks of excellent qual¬ 
ity, being remarkably crisp, tender, and free from 
stringiness. 
White Plume. A good fall and winter sort, and a very 
popular market variety. As the plants mature, the 
inner stalks and leaves turn white, making it neces¬ 
sary to earth it up but little to complete the blanch¬ 
ing. The flavor is good. A rapid grower which 
makes a handsome appearance when cut. 
Dwarf Golden Heart. This is a fine main crop sort 
for fall and winter use. It is a compact, dwarf grow¬ 
er which is easily earthed up for blanching. The 
large, bunchy stalks have very solid hearts that 
blanch to a lovely waxen yellow, and are crisp and 
brittle and of excellent flavor. A good keeper. 
Columbia. Although a second early variety, it is a fine 
keeper, remaining in good condition all winter. The 
plants are dwarf and compact in growth, blanching 
easily. The stalks are very thick, broad and smooth, 
and are almost snow-white when blanched, with the 
heart tinged yellow. It cannot be excelled in quality 
and flavor—sweet, nutty, and very crisp. 
Winter Queen. One of the best of the dwarf winter 
varieties. It resembles Golden Self-Blanching, but 
has the rich green coloring of Giant Pascal, yet 
blanches more quickly than the latter variety and is 
ready for market much earlier in the fall. It makes 
a handsome appearance when bunched for the large, 
extra heavy stalks are all one length, with very large 
hearts. 
Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted 
Celery 
This is a variety of Celery with turnip-shaped roots 
which have the flavor of Celery and are white-fleshed 
and tender. Sow seed in the open ground in April and 
transplant the young plants like Celery. The roots may 
be eaten raw, like radishes, or cooked like turnips; used 
largely for seasoning soups and stews. 
Com Salad 
One ounce will sow about 150 feet of drill. 
Broad-Leaved Large-Seeded. This is a hardy winter 
salad plant, the small leaves being served like lettuce. 
Seed irregular in shape, grayish yellow, made up of 
three sections. Sow in light, warm soil in August or 
September, in drills one-fourth inch deep and six 
inches apart. Just before winter, cover thickly with 
straw or leaves. Pick the leaves when half as large 
as lettuce.
