Celery. 
Seleri — Apios—Sedanio Acci 
Sow seeds in hotbed or very early in open ground (it is slow to germinate, and should be kept moist). 
Sow in straight rows for convenience in weeding when plants are small. When five or six inches high 
thin out or transplant to five inches apart. Celery requires very rich soil and plenty of water. 
Plants may be set from May to the middle of August. Large growers 
set the crop level with the surface, having previously plowed in all the 
manure possible, and setting in rows three to four feet apart and five 
or six inches in the row. 
Golden Plume. Many pronounce this the best golden self-blanching 
celery in existence; the present stock is a result of more than twenty 
years' extreme care and selection. Golden Plume has taken first prize 
at several National Vegetable Growers’ Conventions. Our stock is an 
improved strain of “Golden Plume,” also called “Wonderful” developed 
from original stock. Grown from best and earliest plants; selected for 
their medium height; stocky, full-hearted and compact, with thick, solid 
stalks which blanche easily. Price, per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 55c.; per J4-lb., 
$1.80; per lb., $6.00. 
Florida Golden. Florida Golden is the same in season as Golden Plume, 
which it resembles. The great difference is that the edible portion of 
the stem is longer and the plant remains in condition longer than Golden 
Plume. Florida Golden is just a little taller than Golden Plume. The 
plants are full-hearted, blanch to a rich cream color of exceptionally fine 
quality and excellent flavor. The stems are crisp and free from strings.
