CELERY 
Culture Celery seed is very slow to germinate. Plant seed in 
the hotbed or very early in open ground. When three inches 
high, transplant four inches apart in finely pulverized rich soil. 
In June or July transplant 6 or 8 inches apart in rows three feet 
apart Celery requires a great deal of water from the time the 
seed is sown until it is pulled. To blanch, drawn earth around 
the plants, or boards or paper may be used. An ounce will pro¬ 
duce about 5000 plants; a quarter pound will suffice for an acre. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
WONDERFUL (or Golden Plume) This is the original 
strain which we have been selling for many years. It 
is unusually thick set and compact, and attains excep¬ 
tional weight. We have seen 12 stalks that weighed 
72 pounds. Our strain is free from soft stalks and 
strings, and ships well. Remarkably free from seeders 
and especially good for late crop for this reason. The 
joint is from 9 to 10 inches long. If a longer first joint 
is wanted, we suggest our Long Jointed Wonderful.

LONG JOINTED WONDERFUL A selection from the original Won¬ 
derful, this newer strain has a longer first joint and is recommended 
where the original strain does not produce satisfactory height of 
stalk. It is also free from soft stalks, is heavy and compact and 
ships well. The illustrations on this page show the comparison be¬ 
tween the two strains. Pkt. 30c; l / 2 oz. 65c; oz. $1.00; l /\ lb. $3.50;

No. 99 GOLDEN Especially popular where it is necessary to grow a 
variety that is resistant to celery yellows, root-rot or crown-rot. This 
is a yellow variety, intermediate in appearance between Tall French 
Golden and Wonderful or Golden Plume. Our strain is recommended 
for use in diseased sections. Pkt. 50c; x / 2 oz. $1.25; oz. $2.00; x /\ lb. 
$7.00; lb. $24.00. 
TALL FRENCH GOLDEN (Plume Leaf) This is a taller and improved 
strain of the old Golden Self-Blanching or Paris Golden variety. It 
has finely cut foliage, matures very early and is not particularly 
stocky. Where late plantings can be made it is especially suitable 
for storage. Crop Failure. 
TALL FRENCH GOLDEN (Fern Leaf) The alder strain of tall golden celery developed 
from Golden Self-Blanching, being taller and less stocky. It is, however, shorter than 
the Plume Leaf Tall French described above, and is preferred by some. Pkt. 30c; 
y 2 oz. 75c; oz. $1.25; % lb. $4.00; lb. $14.00. 
CALIFORNIA GOLDEN No. 14 Earlier than Golden Self Blanching and later than 
Wonderful, this celery combines the attractive qualities of both, with a stalk slightly 
taller than Wonderful. It stands cold weather well without developing soft stalks.
