1 ounce will produce about 2,000 
plants 
Culture —Sow the last of March or 
early in April, in an open border, in 
rich, mellow ground, in shallow drills 
watering freely in dry weather. By 
rolling or pressing in the seed the 
result will be more satisfactory than 
when covered. Cut the tops off once 
or twice before planting out, to make 
them stocky. When the plants are 
5 or 6 in. high transplant the dwarf 
varieties 3 ft. and the taller sorts 
4 ft. between the rows; plant 6 in. 
apart in the rows. Cultivate well, 
and when large enough, blanch by 
earthing up. 125 days. 
Golden Plume. Has a beautiful 
golden color, is crisp, free from 
strings and has that rich nutty 
flavor so much desired by lovers 
of fine Celery. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., 
X lb. $1.00, lb. $3.50. 
Golden Self-Blanching, French 
(True strain). Crisp, delicious, 
nutty flavor, and absence of strings 
make our Golden Self-Blanching a 
real delicacy. The stalks are broad, thick and heavy, and easily blanch 
to a rich, appetizing golden yellow. It is one of the easiest Celeries 
to grow, for it blanches with much less earthing up than most 
Celeries. Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c., X lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00. 
Golden Self-Blanching. American strain. Pkt. 10c., oz. 35c.,

X lb. $2.00, lb. $7.50. 
White Plume. Unsurpassed for Fall and early Winter use, requiring 
very little earthing-up to blanch it. Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., X lb. 60c., 
lb. $2.00. 
M.-S. MAGNIFICENT. It is well named for its many good qualities. 
The stalks which blanch almost white are exceedingly brittle; it is a 
truly good sort and should be planted extensively. Pkt. 10c., 
oz. 25c., X lb. 75c., lb. $2.50. 
M.-S. MONARCH. This variety is a decided acquisition in green 
Celery, producing large stalks and magnificent bright golden yellow 
heart. The stalks are very solid, brittle and of most delicious flavor 
and entirely free from stringiness. It is a remarkably good keeper 
and presents a handsome appearance 
when ready for the table. Pkt. 10c., 
oz. 25c., X lb. 75c., lb. $2.50.

pact grower, and when blanched is a 
creamy white color. Pkt. 10c., oz. 
20c., X lb. 50c., lb. $1.75.

ferred by many to all other sorts; as 
self-blanching as White Plume, and 
simply needs a slight earthing up.
