CELERY 
Hart & Vick's Finest Strains 
1 pkt. of seed will produce about 600 plants; 
1 oz., about 9000 plants 
Celery seed is very slow in germinating and 
should be sown in March in flats under glass 
and kept moist. When plants are 2 inches 
high, thin out and transplant to stand 3 inches 
apart each way. When 5 inches high, set out, 
6 inches apart, in trenches 6 inches deep. Cut 
off outer leaves and press soil firmly about 
roots. Cultivate thoroughly. When full grown, 
blanch by mounding gradually with earth or by 
pressing stems together by board on both sides 
of row. For winter storage, take up the plants 
with roots and place upright on wet soil in a 
dark cellar or root-house, pocking closely. 
Those who grow Celery for market will be in¬ 
terested to know that we have a proven strain 
of the old original Dwarf Golden Self-blanching 
Celery. >

sembling Golden Self-blanching, but the 
leaves are green and stalks white instead of

use. It keeps well, is of fine quality, solid 
and stringless. Pkg. 10c; i/ 2 oz. 35c; oz. 60c.

CELERIAC 
Turnip Rooted Celery 
This delicious vegetable, although 
used extensively throughout Europe, 
is but little known in this country. 
If you do not grow it, you are miss¬ 
ing something really good. It re¬ 
sembles Celery but has an en¬ 
larged, turnip-like root in place of 
stalks that will keep for almost a 
year when packed in sand in a cool 
place. Cultivate same as Celery, 
except no hilling is necessary. It is 
cooked in various ways, boiled and 
creamed, put in stews or sliced very 
thin and put in boiling water, then 
served cold in salads. Every gar¬ 
dener should grow it.
