furnish fine protection to the head.

very attractive, of splendid quality.

CELERIAC or TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY 
CHALK 
120 
A fine vegetable for flavoring in salads, soups, stews, etc. A large, smooth, turnip-like 
root formed under the ground comprises the edible portion of the plant. The hollow 
dark green stems above ground are not good for eating purposes. The roots may be stored 
up into the winter months. 
CELERy 
Apium graveolens—var. dulce 
Premature Seeding of Celery: —Losses from fields shooting to seed before they are ready for market 
have become a hazard to the celery grower. This trouble may be prevented by careful regulation of 
temperature when the plants are being grown in the hotbed or greenhouse. Never let the temperature 
get below 60 ° F. 
When it comes time to harden the plants for transplanting, do this by withholding the water until 
plants show signs of wilting, and not by exposing the plants to low temperatures.

EASY BLANCHING CEDAR 130 
A rather early sort following Golden Self-Blanching about a week in season, but more 
resistant to blight. Being a hardy, vigorous, dark green type that blanches readily, it has 
proved valuable to the home and truck gardener. A fine variety for trenching and winter 
storage. 
PLANT—Medium tall but taller than Golden Self-Blanching, erect, compact, easily 
blanched to a very attractive bunch. 
STALK —Thick, solid, white, tender, and of a fine rich nutty flavor. 
FLORIDA GOLDEN CHAIR 115 
A recent introduction which is desirable for the early spring and late fall planting in the 
Southern regions, particularly Florida. However, it is a fine fall celery for Northern 
districts. 
PLANT—Somewhat resistant to blight, tall, erect, and compact, easily blanched. 
STALK —Medium long, white, thick, crisp, tender, and of very inviting flavor.
