Bleich-Sellerie (Ger.) CELERY 
One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 plants, a packet 400 to 500 plants. 
Good celery is not difficult to raise. The trouble 
most unskilled gardeners experience is in raising the 
plants. For very early planting the seed should be 
sown in the greenhouse or hot bed in February or first 
of March. For late crop the seed is sown in the open For the home garden it is often more satisfactory 
ground as early as possible. Great care must be taken — to buy the plants. 
See page 82 for Harris’ celery plants. 
Sedano (It.) 
not to cover the seed too deep. Most failures to get 
the seed to germinate are due to this cause. 
We give full directions for culture with every order 
for seed if requested. 
Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
SUPER PLUME. This new kind is very similar in appearance and height to our original strain of 
Golden Plume, but the edible part of the stems is thicker and longer; usually 8 to 9 
inches, making an unusually good heart. They are firm, crisp and of excellent quality. It is earlier than 
our regular Golden Plume, and seems to stand a long time without becoming pithy. Should make an 
excellent kind for storage.

GOLDEN PLUME or WONDERFUL. This is the original strain which has proved so popular with our 
customers and is without doubt the most used of the Yellow or Self-Blanching types, having grown 
steadily in popularity since its introduction some years ago. It is early and of a vigorous sturdy growth. 
The plants have good stalks and fine full hearts. Our strain has proved to be of a very even golden color, 
strong and healthy of growth and with no soft stalks. No better strain can be obtained, even at much 
higher prices. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 25c; Oz. 80c; 14 Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
MASTERPIECE—For Early Crop. This is a new early yellow celery, with the fine quality and flavor of the 
late or green kinds. It is a tall variety. The stems are very thick, broad with rounded edges, and long, 
often 7 to 8 inches. They are crisp and have a fine nutty flavor. 
Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.75; 14 Lb. $6.00; Lb. $21.00. 
SUPREME GOLDEN. (New.) Improved Golden Self-Blanching. This new strain matures a few days 
earlier than the old strain of Golden Self-Blanching and a little later than Golden Plume. The long inside 
stems give it a thick full heart, and almost cylindrical shape, making the whole plant very solid and com- 
pact. It is taller growing than the Golden Self-Blanching; the stems being long, rather thick, of excellent 
quality and blanch to a rich creamy white. The tops are very compact. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 40c; Oz. $1.20; 14 Lb. $3.80; Lb. $13.00. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—Old Strain. Largely used for fall and 
early winter use and storage. It blanches creamy white and the stalks 
are quite thick, solid and crisp. Matures a week to ten days later than 
Golden Plume. 
The plants are a little shorter than Golden Plume, of stocky growth, 
heavy, thick and with large, well developed hearts. This strain is very 
uniform in color and type.

GOLDEN PLUME, New Tall Strain. This new strain of Golden Plume 
is taller than the above and has stems which are longer in the first joint.

upland.

Green Varieties

Quality. In our opinion this is the finest [U2 = =" * = ~Green celery is superior to yellow both in quality and 
quality celery grown. The stems are so thick, tender and without flavor. Salt Lake is outstanding in this respect. 


strings, that even the unblanched outside stalks are surprisingly fine. 
They have arich full flavor that is seldom found in celery. The plant is 
not tall, but robust. The stems to the first joint are exceptionally long 
(8 to 9 in.). The inside stems grow long also making a thick solid plant. 
It blanches to a pure white. Summer Pascal is an early variety, ma- 
turing right after Easy Blanching and before Salt Lake. If you want 
an unusual celery of superior quality grow Summer Pascal.

“With the arrival yes- 
lterday of celery plants, I 
think our order ts com- 
plete. Everything has been 
satisfactory, but I write 
this to tell you that the 
celery plants are the finest 
I have ever seen.”

The stalks are large yet tender and with very little fiber and with a 
thick well developed heart. There are practically no soft stalks, which is 
unusual with green celery. This celery blanches quicker than many 
green varieties and when blanched is pure white, very crisp, brittle and 
altogether of the finest flavor. 
The firm hard stalks keep well and we can highly recommend this 
celery for winter storage.
