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 gar- 
deners 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 ground as early as 
possible. Great care must be taken 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. 
For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy the plants. 
See page 82 for Harris’ celery plants. 
Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
MASTERPIECE. New- This is a fine new celery which is becoming 
more popular every year. It is an early yellow 
variety, yet has the fine quality and flavor of the late or green kinds. 
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. We recom- 
mend it highly. 
Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 40c; Oz. $1.25; 14 Lb. $4.25; Lb. $15.00. 
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 has proved its ability to stand a long 
time without becoming pithy. An excellent kind for storage as well as 
early market. 
Pkt. 10c; 44 Oz. 35c; Oz. $1.00; 14 Lb. $3.40; Lb. $12.00. 
GOLDEN PLUME or WONDERFUL. The Finest 
Strain. 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. 75c; 44 Lb. $2.35; Lb. $8.00. 
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. 
It has proved satisfactory in many sections, especially when grown on 
upland. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 25c; Oz. 75c; 14 Lb. $2.35; Lb. $8.00. 


Green Varieties 
SUMMER PASCAL. New Early Green Celery of Superior Quality. In our opinion this is 
the finest quality celery grown. The stems are so thick and tender that even 
the unblanched outside stalks are surprisingly fine. They have a rich full flavor that is seldom found in 

celery. 
The plant is not tall, but sturdy and robust. The stems to the first joint are exceptionally long (8 to 9 in.) 
and the inside stems grow long also making a thick solid plant. It blanches to a pure white. 
Summer Pascal is already highly popular wherever green celery is grown. It is an early variety, maturing 
right after Easy Blanching and before Salt Lake. The stock which we offer was the best of many which 
we grew and tested. New York State grown seed. 
Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 40c; Oz. $1.25; 14 Lb. $4.25; Lb. $15.00. 
EASY BLANCHING, or Newark Market. An excellent kind 
' for late fall or early winter use. Resembles Golden Self- 
Blanching in shape and size, but blanches pure white instead 
of light yellow. The quality is even better than that variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; 44 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00.

soft stalks, which is unusual with green celery. This celery

SUPREME GOLDEN. 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 compact. 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.

stalks are quite thick, solid and crisp. Matures a week to ten days later 
than Golden Plume.

heavy, thick and with large, well developed hearts. This strain is very 
uniform in color and type.
