CELERY 
CULTURE.—Sow in hotbeds in March or in open ground 
in April. See that no weeds infest the seed bed. When 
3 inches high transplant in a bed outdoors in rows 3 inches 
apart each way; let them remain here until July, when 
they should be planted where they are to mature, in rows 
3 feet apart, 6 inches apart in the row. One ounce of seed 
will produce 2,000 plants. 
Golden Self Blanching 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING 
This is undoubtedly the most popular variety for the 
market gardener and also the home garden. It is unex¬ 
celled and absolutely reliable and our rapidly increasing 
trade is abundant evidence of its high quality. It is now 
the leading sort on all markets as an early Celery. For 
market use it is preferred to White Plume, because it does 
not wilt so soon, and its rich yellow color is very attrac¬ 
tive. The stalks are heavier, of a fine nutty flavor, attains 
a good size, and it comes into market almost as soon as 
any other sort. It is of dwarf, compact habit and blanches 
readily. Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, % lb. 90c, lb. $3.00. 
GOLDEN PLUME 
This variety comes in for use at Christmas, and keeps 
well into the Spring. Large heavy stalks and very nutty. 
The heart or inner stalks are a rich golden yellow. Easy 
to blanch, a good keeper and always of the crisp, brittle 
and nutty quality so much desired. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, Y\ 
lb. 90c, lb. $3.00. 
WHITE PLUME 
It is the earliest Celery in cultivation. It is distinct 
from Golden Self-Blanching in being taller in growth, more 
slender in stalk, and branches to a pure snowy whiteness. 
It is a valuable market sort on account of its extreme 
earliness, but is not as good a keeper nor has it so fine 
a flavor as the Golden Self-Blanching. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 
Vx lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. 
WINTER QUEEN 
A medium-tall, solid variety; will retain its qualities 
long through the Winter. The heart is very full and large. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, Vx lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. 
COLUMBIA 
An exceptionally fine, early variety, is of medium height, 
but very stocky. Stalks are thick, almost round, are of a 
rich yellow color, and its fine flavor and crispness will 
please the most critical. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, % lb. 60c, lb. 
$ 2 . 00 . 
EASY BLANCHING 
Excels in the qualities that give self-blanching celeries 
their value. It bleaches earlier and quicker than any of 
this class; it is the longest keeping variety grown (if put 
away green), excelling in this respect every other sort.
