grown by the amateur gardener. Sown much 
in hot-bed for early crop, transplant to cold 
frame, then to open ground as soon as frost 
danger is past. For late crop, give cauliflower

duce about 3,000 plants.

heads. Adapted for growing in dry sections. 
Stands hot weather. Popular in the west. 
CELERY 
CULTURE—For the earliest crop the seed 
should be sown in a hot-bed during February 
or March. When the young plants are large 
enough and the trees are out in leaf, they are 
transplanted into the open. For the fall oi* 
main crop seed may be sown in the open 
ground as early in the spring as the soil can be 
worked into good condition, and the plants 
should be set in the rows in July. 
Celery requires a rich, well-manured soil, 
and plenty of moisture so that it can make a 
continuous growth. One ounce is sufficient 
for 600 feet of drill. One ounce sown in the 
seed-flat gives 8,000 to 10,000 plants; 2 ounces 
for one acre. 
GIANT PASCAL — This celery has the 
sweet, nutty flavor of Golden Self Blanching. 
The stalks are about two feet high; thick, solid 
and stringless, and as brittle as glass. Matures 
in 140 days. It blanches easily and is an ele¬ 
gant winter keeper for home or market. 
GOLDEN YELLOW SELF-BLANCHING— 
This splendid variety is without doubt the 
most popular celery grown. It is a self-blanch¬ 
ing sort, for with a little banking or covering, 
even the outer ribs assume a beautiful golden 
yellow, while the heart or vine stalks are deli¬ 
ciously tender, brittle and sweet. This variety 
is being very extensively grown both for 
market and private use. The hearts are large 
and solid, blanching a beautiful waxen yellow. 
It is tender and sweet. 
WHITE PLUME—This is the earliest and 
most easily blanched celery in cultivation. The 
plants grow rapidly and blanch easily during 
the summer months. The foliage is an attrac¬ 
tive light green color and the stalks are pure 
white. Crisp and nutty. An excellent home 
garden and early market sort. 
CELERIAC 
—Sow seed same as celery. Transplant in 
rows 2 feet apart, 9 inches apart in a row. 
Thorough cultivation is necessary to secure 
good roots. Earthing up is not necessary. 
Roots may be cooked or used as a salad. 
LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE—A very large 
and smooth variety, free from side roots. 
CHICORY 
CULTURE—Sow in drills half an inch deep, 
in rich, mellow soil; the after culture being 
the same as recommended for carrots. 
LARGE ROOTED or COFFEE—Roots of 
fine form, the chicory of commerce, used to 
adulterate coffee. 
COLLARDS 
A tall, loose leaved cabbage-like or kale¬ 
like plant grown throughout the South. It is 
extensively used for the table and for stock 
in the South, where it continues in growth and 
is usable throughout the entire winter. Col- 
lards usually succeed in locations where cab¬ 
bage cannot be grown to perfection. 
GEORGIA or CREOLE—This is the wide¬ 
stemmed variety, growing 2 or 3 feet high and 
forming a large, loose, open head or cluster 
of leaves with a rather long stem. A frost, if 
not too severe, will improve rather than injure 
the quality of the leaves. Sow thickly in drills 
where the plants are to remain and when well 
started thin to 2 or 3 feet apart in the row.
