BUTZER’S SEED STORE, PORTLAND, OREGON 
CELERY 
Ciilture Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in shallow boxes indoors or in a finely prepared seed bed 
out of doors in straight rows, so that the small plants may be kept free from weeds. See to it that the seed is 
not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet, until the seed germinates, as plenty of moisture 
is essential to get a satisfactory growth. The seed will not germinate if planted in a hot-bed or where subjected 
to a temperature above 60 Deg. Fr. When the plants are one or two inches high, thin out and transplant so that 
they may stand three inches apart each way. When they are four inches high, cut off the tops, which will cause 
the plants to grow stocky. 
UTAH GREEN 
(Utah grown.) A late fall variety that has become 
very popular. Produces plants of medium size, com¬ 
pact, solid, stalks are broad, thick, and well rounded, 
stringless, and unequalled for flavor. Very meaty but 
crisp and sweet. Is easily blanched, but usually sold in 
the green stage, wich gives it an attractive appearance.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 
The best of all early celery. It is of dwarf compact 
habit, with thick, solid heavily ribbed stalks, which 
blanch easily to a clear waxen yellow. When grown 
in rich moist soil, the stalks are numerous, each plant 
being fully as thick through as the largest of the tall 
sorts, and with a large solid heart of beautiful golden- 
yellow stalks and leaves. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00.

CORN SALAD (Feldsalat)

to twelve inches apart, it is fit for use in from six to 
eight weeks. Cover with hay or straw to protect 
through the Winter. One ounce of seed to 16 square 
feet. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c. 
POP CORN 
Black Beauty —We believe this is not only the 
earliest maturing variety in cultivation but it is ready 
for popping earlier than any other sort. It pops very 
large and exceptionally white. The kernels are black 
but this color is not noticeable after popping, when 
this sort is the largest and most tender of all. The ears 
are about six inches long, twelve rowed. The kernels 
are smooth, shallow, and are nearly square. Pkt. 10c 
White Rice —A very handsome and prolific white 
variety. The ears are five to seven inches long. The 
kernels are long, pointed and somewhat resemble 
rice. This excellent rather late maturing variety 
yields heavily and is considered the best pop corn for 
parching. Pkt. 10c.
