New Golden Detroit 
Perfected White Plume 
Perfected White Plume is the finest 
strain of White Plume Celery grown. 
This variety is most widely known and 
highly valued by market gardeners 
throughout the northern country. It is 
the recognized best of the white varieties. 
Not only does the stem whiten, but the 
leaf itself, especially every inner leaf, as¬ 
sumes the attractive white color. Well- 
grown White Plume is simply perfect, 
both in palatability and beauty, but is not 
recommended as a long keeper. Our 
strain is extra choice. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 
44 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50, prepaid. 
Celery Seed for Flavoring 
Used in place of fresh Celery for soups, 
pickles, etc. 44 lb., 20c; lb. 65c, prepaid. 
CELERY 
Much Easier to Grow Your Own 
than Most Folks Imagine 
Over 400 stalks can be raised from one packet of seed. At ten 
cents for three stalks you thus get about $14.00 worth of fresh, crisp, 
tender celery at the small cost of 10c to 15c for the seed. 
CULTUKEi,—Celery seed is slow to germinate and ample time must be 
given. Sow thinly; cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 
7,560 plants per ounce of seed, or 44 lb., per acre. When the seedling plants 
are three inches high they should be thinned out one inch apart, or else 
transplanted. 
Celery is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 3 
to 5 feet apart. For home use Celery is often grown in double rows, 16 
inches apart, without trenching, and banked for Winter storage just where 
it grows, without lifting.

GROW SOME POP CORN FOR POPPING
