BETTER CROPS FROM HARVEY’S SEEDS

Golden Self-Blanching 
CELERY 
(Ger.) Seleri (It) Sedano 
Plant seed in hotbed or very early in open ground. 
When three inches high transplant four inches apart, water 
and protect until well rooted, then transplant in trenches, 
setting the plants twelve inches apart in rows. To blanch, 
draw the earth around the plant from time to time, taking 
care not to cover the tops of the center shoots. 
Golden Self-Blanching —The leading early market variety 
of dwarf habit and of a beautiful golden yellow color. 
We have the right stock of this variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 35c, 
y 4 lb. SI .00, lb. $3.50.

large heart of rich golden yellow and good keeper. Pkt. 
5c, oz. 35c, V 4 lb. 80c, lb. $2.50.

Blanching but of more vigorous sturdy growth. Heavy 
solid stalks that blanch quickly and are of fine quality.

White Plum e —A distinct variety of great merit. Its stalks 
and inner leaves are naturally white, so that by tying 
up with matting or drawing the earth up around the 
plants with the hands the work of blanching is com¬ 
pleted. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, V4 lb. 85c, lb. $2.75. 
Sanford Superb, or Easy Bleacher —This is one of the most 
valuable varieties that has come to our notice. Plants set 
out the same time as Golden Self-Blanching will be 
ready for market two weeks later. Bleaches readily with 
boards and grows well both on muck and upland. It is 
equally as stout and a trifle taller than Golden Self- 
Blanching and is less liable to blight. The eating and 
keeping qualities are both far superior to Golden Self- 
Blanching. Pkt. 5c, oz. 30c, V4 lb. $1.00, lb. $3.50.

quent intervals for a succession in drills one foot apart.

the seed to be covered about one-half inch with finely 
pulverized soil and firmly pressed down with the back of
