CELERY 
CULTURE—Sow as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked, in well-prepared soil. Sow seed jn 
rows, covering about four times its size. See that 
the soil is kept moist till the seeds germinate. In 
July set the plants out in rows three to four feet 
apart, and six inches apart in the rows. 
Home raised Celery is becoming 
more popular every year. It is 
much more tender than the ship- 
ped Celery. Customers recognize 
‘the difference at once. You can 
sell all you can grow at good 
prices. 

GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING. Our 
strain of this variety is unexcelled 
and absolutely reliable; this sort is

ery in cultivation. It is perfectly 
solid, attains a good size and when 
blanched is of a handsome golden 
yellow.

CELERIAC OR TURNIP ROOTED 
CELERY. In this kind of celery, 
the roots have been developed by 
cultivation and not the leafstalks. 
The roots, which are the edible 
portion, keep well for winter use 
and are excellent for soups and 
stews. They are also cooked and 
sliced as a salad. Sow seed at the 
same season and give the same 
treatment as common celery.
