earlier than Giant Pascal. Plants are compact, stalks broad and thick, exceptionally solid,

275 Winter Queen 
120 days. One of the finest dwarf winter celeries we have ever grown. It resembles Golden 
Self-Blanching in height and habit, but the leaves are a rich green color and in this respect 
are not unlike those of Giant Pascal. Asit blanches quickly it is ready for home or market 
much earlier in the fall. The plants make stout bunches of extra-heavy stalks with very 
large, tightly folded, creamy white hearts which are tender, crisp and of excellent flavor.

Celeniac 
or Turnip-Rooted Celery 
293 Giant Prague 120 days. The edible portion is the large, 
thick root, which is highly valued boiled, oris used in vegetable 
soup, stews, and other dishes. Celeriac grows best ina moder- 
ately moist yet well-drained soil, which is fairly rich in barn- 
yard manure. Frequent cultivation is necessary and occa- 
sional waterings are desirable. Start the seed in boxes 
indoors, and when the seedlings are large enough to 
handle, transplant into the garden to stand about 8 to 
10 in. apart each way. Use when the roots have grown 
about 2 in. across. Grow as you would celery except that 
it does not require hilling or blanching. The flavor of 
celeriac is similar to that of celery. Highly appreciated 
in European countries, and becoming quite popular in 
the United States; more so when it becomes better 
known. Roots may be stored in moist earth or sand, 
as you would beets and carrots, and used throughout the 
winter. Crop very short. Pkt. 15¢; 4% oz. 45¢; oz. 80¢. 




to the first joint. Being solid and firm, it is less liable to dam- 
age by heat or cold. Plants are of medium size and stocky.
