One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 plants, a packet 4 00 to 500 plants. 
Good celery is not difficult to raise. The trouble most unskilled gardeners experience is in raising 
the plants. For very early planting the seed should be sown in the greenhouse or hot bed in February 
or first of March. For late crop the seed is sown in the open ground as early as possible. Great care 
must be taken not to cover the seed too deep. Most failures to get the seed to germinate are due to 
this cause. 
We give full directions for culture with every order for seed if requested. 
For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy the plants. See page 82. 
Green Varieties 
SALT LAKE or Utah. The Best Green 
Celery. There is no question but that green 
celery is superior to the yellow types both in 
quality and flavor. We have in Salt Lake, the 
almost perfect green celery, that supplies a 
long felt need for a fine celery of this type. 
The stalks are large yet tender and with very 
little fiber and the heart is well developed. 
There are practically no soft stalks, which is 
unusual with green celery. This celery blanch¬ 
es quicker than many green varieties and when 
blanched is pure white, very crisp, brittle and 
altogether of the finest quality. 
The firm hard stalks keep well and we highly 
recommend this new celery for winter storage. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 80c; V 4 Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GIANT PASCAL—Special Strain. This is an 
exceptionally fine stock much superior to the 
ordinary Giant Pascal. This strain is used 
largely in New England and is considered one 
of the very best for late winter market. The 
stalks are very large, solid and blanch to a 
pure white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; y 4 Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
EASY BLANCHING, or Sanford Superb. 
This is an excellent celery for late fall or early 
winter use. The stalks resemble Golden Self- 
Blanching in shape and size, but blanch pure 
white instead of light yellow and keep better. 
The quality is even better than that variety. 
The celery called “Newark Market” is the 
same as our strain of Easy Blanching. We 
have a very fine stock of this celery. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; % Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.50. 
CELERIAC —Turnip Rooted or “Knob” Celery 
Large Prague Celeriac 
A Really Delicious Vegetable. Celeriac is becoming in¬ 
creasingly popular each year. 11 is a kind of Celery which forms 
large bulb like roots. The bulbs when cut into cubes, boiled and 
served with a cream sauce are delicious. It has a most pleasant 
nut like celery flavor. A row in the garden will give you a very 
welcome addition to the list of fall and winter vegetables and it 
is well worth raising. The culture is the same as for Celery ex¬ 
cept that it needs no blanching. 
LARGE PRAGUE. The Standard Market Kind. Our 
stock will produce very large even roots or “Knobs.” 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; l / 4 Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75. 
DELICACY. The best kind for the home garden. The 
roots or “knobs” are not quite as large as the Large 
Prague but are nice round bulbs of the finest quality. 
They are more tender, of more delicate flavor and 
mature earlier. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; Vi Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
Salt Lake 
“Received the celery plants today in perfect con¬ 
dition. They are lovely large plants and we are so 
pleased with them. Many thanks for your prompt 
attention.” Louise Wichenbaugh, Waldoboro , Me. 
June 13, 1930. 
Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. This is 
without doubt the best of the Yellow or Self¬ 
blanching types and has grown steadily in 
popularity since its introduction some years 
ago. It is of a vigorous sturdy growth forming 
heavy solid stalks with fine hearts. Our strain 
has proved to be of a very even golden color, 
strong and healthy of growth and with no soft 
stalks. No better strain can be obtained, even 
at much higher prices. 
Pkt. 15c; l/ 4 Oz. 30c; Oz. 90c; Vi Lb. $3.15; 
Lb. $11.00. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—Old Strain. 
This is one of the best varieties for fall and 
early winter use and storage. It blanches 
easily and the stalks are quite thick, solid and 
crisp. When blanched the stalks are creamy 
white, while the leaves turn a beautiful golden 
yellow. 
This is an excellent celery for the home 
garden as well as for market. It can be easily 
blanched in the field by placing boards on each 
side of the row. It will also blanch perfectly 
when stored in the cellar or pit. 
The stalks are a little shorter than Golden 
Plume, of stocky growth, heavy, thick and 
with large, well developed hearts. This strain 
is very uniform in color and type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 80c; Vi Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GOLDEN PASCAL. (NEW). See also page 
10. A new yellow celery with the general 
shape and fine quality of the best green vari¬ 
eties. 
Pkt. 25c; Vi Oz. 85c; Oz. $2.65; y 4 Lb. $9.00. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—New Strain. 
Grows much more rapidly than the old strain, 
and the stalks are longer and attain a good size 
much more quickly. It is, therefore, a better 
celery for early use or fall market. For late use 
growers prefer the old strain. The new strain 
is much more vigorous, grows faster and is 
almost “blight proof” as it resists the attacks 
of blight much better than the old strain. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 80c; y 4 Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
CELERY PLANTS 
It is often more advisable to buy plants 
than to raise them yourself. Harris’ Cel¬ 
ery plants are well grown and true to name.
