1 ounce wiU 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 color, is crisp, free from 
strings and has that rich nutty 
flavor so much desired by lovers 
of fine Celery. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c.,

to grow, for it blanches with much less earthing up than most 
Celeries. Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c., X lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00.
