Culture—^As soon as the ground is workable, 
sow in. deep in open seed beds richly prc' 
pared and finely pulverized. 
Celery seed germinates slowly and will sprout at low 
temperatures, but it needs constant and abundant mois' 
ture. Thin seedlings to an inch apart and trim tops be- 
fore transplanting so as to have nice stocky plants. 
Transplant June or July, using rich well-manured soil 
and plant in rows 3 to 4 ft. apart and 6 ins. apart in 
the row. Firm the soil around the young roots, keep 
free from weeds and provide liberal water in dry weather 
throughout the growing season. To blanch, earth up 
gradually in the Fall, taking care that no earth falls into 
the hearts and never hoe while w-et, as it whll cause rust. 
Repeat until only the tops can be seen. Boards, celery 
paper or paper cylinders are other methods of blanching 
the stalks. 
WONDERFUL OR GOLDEN PLUME 
110 Days—As the name applies, this is a really 
wonderful celery with unquestionable merit in 
quality, flavor, sweetness and size. The ideal 
variety for home and market garden plant' 
ing. Very profitable for nearby markets and 
a perfect shipper to distant markets. It re' 
sembles the Golden Self'Blanching, but is 
much larger and heavier in growth, blanches 
more quickly, matures earlier and is more re' 
sistant to attacks of blight and rust. It grows 
well on muck and upland and is absolutely 
the earliest celery grown. Plants medium 
height with compact, full heart. Stalks solid, 
thick and broad, free from strings and blanches 
readily to golden yellow, 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 
Finest French Grown Seed 
110 Days—The well'known French strain has 
been a favorite for many years and still is the 
standard market and shipping variety. We se' 
cure our seed from the introducer, a noted 
grower of France. The quality in color, flavor 
and habit of growth of this strain is superb. 
Plants medium size, uniform in height, with 
yellowish green foliage. Hearts large and solid, 
blanching a beautiful rich golden yellow. 
Stalks crisp, brittle, and of a delicious nutty 
flavor, free from stringiness.

WHITE PLUME 
AMERICAN GOLDEN 
SELF-BLANCHING 
118 Day s—This seed is grown from the best 
selected French stock seed and is the best ob' 
tainable in this country. Repeated trials have 
proven it to be equal to the French and less 
expensive. However, many market gardeners 
prefer to pay the price and insist on having 
the renowned French grown stocks. 
BUIST’S EASY BLANCHING 
125 Days—-A very special strain 
of Easy Blanching. A second 
early, desirable for home or mar' 
ket gardeners. The longest keep' 
ing variety grown, excelling in 
this respect every other sort. 
Plants vigorous and compact in 
habit of growth, blanching early 
and quickly to an attractive white. 
Stalks are taller than Golden 
Self'Blanching; thick, solid, ten' 
der, brittle and a rich nutty flavor. 
.112 Days—^Very early and the most easily 
blanched of all celeries, highly valuable to 
home and market gardeners. Not recommend' 
ed as a long keeper, but is best right after dig' 
ging. It is a favorite with customers because 
of its crisp, tender and desirable eating quah 
ities. The stalks and portions of its inner 
leaves and heart are white so that by drawing 
the soil up against the plant and pressing tO' 
gether with the hands, the work of blanching 
is complete without the necessity of banking 
or earthing up.
