CUDTDRD—Plant the early varieties half an inch deep in a hot¬ 
bed in January or February and transplant when proper size and 
when freezing’ weather is past; they will stand a lig'ht frost. Por 
late crop, plant Autumn Giant in May or June and treat exactly 
like late cabbag'e. Set the plants 15 to IS inches apart in 3-foot 
rows. When the heads are about 2 inches across, tie up the outer 
leaves to blanch the head and protect them from the sun and 
weather; this prevents them becoming- bitter and discolored.

CUI.TtJRE — One 
of the most popu¬ 
lar Southern vege¬ 
tables; largely 
used in place of 
cabbage. It is 
hardier and easier 
to grow than cab¬ 
bage, can be grown 
on poorer soil and 
withstands insect 
attacks better. Al¬ 
though often plant- 
ed during the 
spring and s u m - 
mer, the principal 
plantings are made 
in June, July and 
August, transplant¬ 
ed two feet apart 
in the row and giv¬ 
en frequent culti¬ 
vation. A most ex¬ 
cellent vegetable 
for the late fall, 
winter and early 
spring. The flavor 
is improved by 
frost. Cultivate 
like cabbage. 
143. NORTH CAROLINA SHORT STEM (80 Days) —A decided im¬ 
provement, and has proved very popular wherever grown. Has 
short stem, large spreading leaves, very hardy, withstanding 
drought in summer and cold in winter. Its flavor is fine. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. loc; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 60c; 2-lb. lots 55c per lb.; 5-lb. lots 45c per 
lb.; lO-lb. lots 40c per lb., postpaid. 
145. WHITE CABBAGE (80 Days) —Called cabbage-collard be¬ 
cause of its bunching habit and general resemblance to a cab¬ 
bage. Extremely hardy and grows on the poorest soils. As 
white and crisp as a cabbage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Yu lb. 20c; lb. 55c;

postpaid. 
144. GEORGIA or SOUTHERN (80 Days) —Stands cold weather 
and adverse conditions splendidly, and grows on land'too poor 
to make a crop of cabbage. Southern gardeners would not feel 
that their garden was complete without it. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

CELERY 
CULTURE — Plant in February, 
March or beginning of April, in 
drills 8 to 10 inches apart, either 
in boxes indoors or in a bed of 
fine, rich soil, barely covering 
seeds. If the soil is dry, press 
the earth after covering, and keep 
clear of weeds, or the young 
plants will be smothered. Be sure 
the seed-bed is kept thoroughly 
moist until the seeds have germi¬ 
nated. When four inches high cut 
off the tops to make the plants 
stocky. Transplant from July to 
October. August and September 
settings succeed excellently and 
require less labor than if set out 
earlier. To prepare a bed, dig 
trenches 6 inches deep and put in 
3 or 4 inches of well-rotted ma¬ 
nure, dig in well and cover with 
fine soil. Set the plants 6 to 8 
inches apart, press the soil firm¬ 
ly and earth up as they grow, but 
do not let the earth get into th-a 
heart of the plant. When severe 
weather comes on, cover gradu¬ 
ally with leaves, hay or straw, 
and place boards on top; mulch 
paper (see page 75) may be used. 
Celeriac needs no earthing up, 
and may be planted in rows 18 
inches apart. Celery seeds germi¬ 
nate slowly; soak for 24 to 36 
hours before planting. 
Giant Pascal Celery. 
Self-Blanching Celeries 
They grow quickly and blanch easily. The ease with which they 
are grown should give them a place in every home garden. Plant 
the self-blanching kinds for earliest use, and the winter varieties 
for general use later. 
138. Golden Self-Blanching OlS Days)— Tender crispness, 
= delicious nutty flavor and ab¬ 
sence of strings make our Golden Self-Blanching a real deli¬ 
cacy. The stalks are broad, thick and heavy, and easily blanch 
to a rich, appetizing golden yellow. It is one of the easiest 
celeries to grow, for it blanches with much less earthing up than 
most celeries. Golden Self-Blanching deserves a place in your 
garden. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. 85c; lb. $3.00; 2-lb. lots $2.75 
per lb.; 5-lb. lots $2.50 per lb., postpaid. 
137. Improved White Plume 
(115 Days) —The earliest and 
the easiest to grow as, being 
self-blanching, it blanches naturally and requires but little 
earthing up. It has a full heart that blanches pure white: the 
solid stalks are thick and crisp and have a rich and delicious 
nutty flavor. A fine celery for late summer and early fall use. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 2Sc; Yi Ih- 65c; lb. $2.25; 2-lb. lots $2.10 per lb.; 5-lb. 
lots $1.90 per lb., postpaid. 
Winter Celeries 
Of firmer texture, more compact and solid than the self-blanch¬ 
ing kinds, and consequently better keepers. For late summer and 
early fall use we recommend that a portion of your planting be 
one of the early kinds like White Plume and Golden Self-Blanching, 
but for general use during the winter that one of the winter varie¬ 
ties be planted. 
1 riiant Pji« 5 ral (^*35 Days) —The large, thick stalks are 
lou. viiaiii 4 nutty flavor and blanch eas¬ 
ily and quickly. The heart is creamy yellow. It is an ideal 
celery for late fall and winter and keeps splendidly. It is a se¬ 
lection from Golden Self-Blanching and inherits many of its 
fine qualities and keeps better. It blanches easily, makes large, 
extra heavy stalks with very large hearts. Pkt. 10c; oz. 2Sc; 
Ya 1^' 65c; lb. $2.25; 2-lb. lots $2.10 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.90 per lb., 
postpaid. 
141. Celeriac or Turnip Rooted Celery ®xcffivT 
ly for its roots, which are fine for soups and stews or cooked 
and sliced as a salad. The roots keep all winter if packed in damp 
sand or put into kilns like beets, carrots and turnips. Plant and 
cultivate like celery except it does not require earthing up. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Ya 65c; lb. $2.25; 2-lb. lots $2.10 per lb.
