CELERY 
My Celery seed is of the high standard of quality required for high-class 
trade. Try it; you will see the difference. 
HOW TO GROW CELERY. To have matured Celery early in the summer, sow 
seeds of the early varieties under glass in February; set the plants out in May. Celery 
seed is by no means so easy to grow as most other seeds. For fall and winter crops, sow the seed in April or May, depending on 
the condition of the soil. To get Celery seed to germinate and give you a good stand of strong plants, you must have the soil 
worked deep, very fine and loose, moist and warm. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart for hand cultivation. Keep moist; prevent 
soil from becoming dry or “crusted.” In June set out the plants 6 inches apart in the rows, having the soil prepared. Make the 
rows 2 to 3 feet apart. Blanching is done by banking up the earth around the plants gradually until within a few inches of the top, 
also by use of Bleaching Paper (we have it), and by use of boards. One ounce will produce about 5,000 plants, 15,000 plants for 
each acre. Dr. Thompson, of Cornell University, has shown by experiment that bolting of Celery (going to seed prematurely) is 
caused by subjecting the growing plants to cool temperatures. Ten to thirty days of temperatures averaging 40 to 50 degrees will 
start seed-stock formation in plants of all varieties.

Schell's Florida Golden. 
Owing to the great mar¬ 
ket demand for a Golden 
Plume having a greater length, we developed through pure line 
breeding the selection which we now offer as Florida Golden. 
It has all the good qualities of Golden Plume plus greater height 
and weight of plant, and the edible portion of the stem is larger. 
It shows less tendency than other strains to produce premature 
seed-stalks. The hearts blanch to a rich cream color, of excel¬ 
lent flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; y 2 oz. $1; oz. $2;

Schell’s Allheart Celery. “ St the 
haustive selection of certain type plants which possessed the 
four essentials necessary for the best Celery, which are flavor, 
abundance of hearts, size, and attractive appearance. There 
are big bunches of hearts in each stalk; it grows as high as 
White Plume. Its flavor is like that of Giant Pascal, but it 
does not resemble it, being more stalky, light green, blanches 
up earlier and to a rich golden yellow. One of the best keepers. 
I urge all my customers to grow Allheart, knowing that it will 
please and prove profitable. Pkt. 10 cts.; y 2 oz. 45 cts.; oz.
