Celeri-rave, Fr. 
In the fall, lift the plant, trim off the leaves 
and store in sandy soil in a cool place until 
wanted for forcing. 
The roots should be planted upright about 
11/^ to 2 inches apart in a trench 16 to 18 
inches deep. This brings the neck of the 
root within 9 inches of the level of the sur¬ 
face of the trench, which should be filled 
with light soil. It requires about one month 
to force the root. The heads are then cut 
off with a small portion of the neck of the 
root attached. We recommend this vegeta¬ 
ble to those who enjoy a salad of exceptional 
flavor. It can be easily grown if these direc¬ 
tions are carefully followed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
30c; 14 lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.00.
