Celery 
Self-Blanching 
German—Sellerie. Italian—Sedano, AccL Spanish—^Apio. 
Our Celery Seed is Tested and Guaranteed Pure. 
Culture for Self-Blanching or Summer Varieties: Seed 
is started in hotbeds the middle of March and requires 
close attention, keeping the seedbed moist and giving 
plenty of air. Plants should be set out any time between 
the 1st and 20th of May. Best results are obtained from 
double rows; that is, set plants on each side of the irri¬ 
gating ditch. Set plants 8 inches apart in the rows, and 
double rows 3 to 3% feet apart. Self-Blanching Celery re¬ 
quires close attention and plenty of cultivation, as it is 
very injurious to the crop if plants are allowed to stunt, 
which is caused from lack of cultivation and improper irri¬ 
gation. Celery requires plenty of water, but water should 
not be allowed to stand in the rows. 
Golden Self-Blanching (Tall French Strain). Grown exten¬ 
sively in this district for the past 18 years. Quick, robust 
grower, bleaches easily. Eight inches taller than most 
varieties, but does not contain as many heart stalks.

Golden "R". Yellows resistant. This strain of Golden 
Self-Blanching Celery has been selected for resistance 
to the celery disease known as yellows sickness, root rot. 
sliming and crown rot. Growers who have, in the past, 
su^ered losses from this disease, can use this variety 
with success on infected soils. It is not resistant to other 
celery dieases, although withstands blight remarkably 
well. Eesembles Golden Self-Blanching. Pkt., 26c; oz.,

Pascal Celery 
The finest eating or table celery grown. It is of strong 
growth; forms solid, crisp stalks of rich, nutty flavor. 
Blanches easily to rich creamy white and is very brittle. 
Retains its color and fresh appearance for a long time. 
Culture for Celery—Pascal and Utah Varieties: Seed 
should be sown as late as April 15th and transplanting out¬ 
doors can be done any time from June 1st to July 25th. 
This variety of celery requires forced bleaching, either 
by wrapping each stalk separate with paper or by trench¬ 
ing. The former method is only used when early Pascal 
Celery is desired, but for flavor, quality, and long keeping, 
trenching is necessary. A trench about 12 to 16 inches 
wide and deep enough so that when the celery is placed 
in the trench standing erect, the tops project above the 
trench about 1 to 2 inches. Watch closely, for after the 
stalks have been stored in trenches some time, the outer 
stalks bleach creamy white and the hearts make consider¬ 
able growth and then it is ready for the table or market. 
For our best Pascal or short stalked celery we are now 
able to offer the famous and what has proven to be the 
best Pascal for Colorado. 
Hartner's Giant Pascal. This is an improved and highly 
developed strain of Giant Pascal. It is much larger 
than the regular Pascal and almost free from soft stalks. 
Its appearance and form are perfect, and its eating and 
keeping qualities are better t^n any celery ever offered. 
It is free from strings, crisp and sweet. For the market 
gardener and winter celery growers there is no strain 
of Pascal better for either paper or trenching.

Weirich's Strain Pascal. 
(Home grown seed.) This 
strain is considered by 
the main Pascal Celery 
growers as the highest 
development of this im¬ 
portant variety of celery. 
It has had the most care¬ 
ful selection and breed¬ 
ing under glass. Stalks 
are rather dwarf, thick 
and firm. An easy bleach¬ 
ing variety suitable for 
both papering and trench¬ 
ing, and free from soft 
stalks and seeder. We 
claim this to be the apex 
of Pascal Celery. Pkt., 
15c; V 2 oz., 80c; oz., 
$1.25; 1/4 lb., $3.75; lb., 
$ 12 . 00 , postpaid. 
Giant Pascal (French). This 
seed is French grown and 
of very good quality; 
however, most planters 
who grow for the market 
prefer Hartner’s Giant 
Pascal. (See description 
below.) Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
Vi lb., 65c; lb., $2.00, post¬ 
paid. 
Utah Jumbo Pascal. A new strain of Utah Celery, lately 
developed. On our farm the past season, we gave this 
variety an extensive trial. The results were outstand¬ 
ing as it grows taller and heavier than any other variety 
of Utah or Pascal Celery. Withstood blight better. Has 
an excellent appearance and fine flavor. Stalks are 
heavy, firm and crisp. A good shipping variety when 
bleached and ready for market. We especially recom¬ 
mend it for early field bleaching. Pkt., 20c; V 2 oz., 80c; 
oz., $1.20; V4 lb., $4.00; lb., $12.00, postpaid. 
Utah or Golden Crisp. Not to be compared with Jumbo 
Utah. Pkt., 10c; oz. 26c; Vi lb., 80c; lb. $2.50, postpaid.
