176 GOLDEN PLUME or WONDERFUL & 
Early maturing, blight resistant (115 days) 
A perfected type developed from the famous Golden Self-Blanching. Plants 
are semi-dwarf, but havegtaller, thicker stalks than Golden Self-Blanching. 
The creamy hearts are very large and tightly folded. When blanched, the 
stalks are an attractive light golden yellow. The flavor is rich and pleas- 
ing. Quite resistant to blight. It’s the favorite celery in the United States, 
since it combines great tolerance to varying soil and weather conditions Se 
with exceptionally fine eating quality.

182 GIANT PASCAL » 
Also known as Winter King (140 days) 
Stalks are thick, solid, entirely stringless, brittle, and of a rich, nutty 
flavor. Leaves are upright, short and dark green. When properly blanched, 
the stalks are a beautiful yellowish white. They are very broad and quite 
prominently ribbed, without, however, showing any signs of fiber. Giant 
Pascal is easy to grow, reasonably quick to blanch, and if properly stored 
can be kept throughout the winter. The favorite winter celery, following 
along in perfect succession after Golden Plume.

Cultural Suggestions: For earliest celery, sow the 
seed thinly in the house or hotbed in February or 
early March. For a late crop for fall use or winter 
storing, sow the seed in frames or a specially pre- 
pared seedbed in the open ground as early in the 
spring as the soil can be worked up into a loose 
condition. Cover seed with no more than.% in. of 
fine soil. Keep evenly and moderately moist until

the seeds sprout, which usually requires two weeks. 
Set plants 6 to 8 in. apart in single rows 4 ft. apart 
or double rows 1 ft. apart, allowing 4 ft. of space 
between each double row. Celery requires rich, 
well-manured soil and plenty of moisture for best 
results. It does especially well on muck soil. A 
packet of seed will provide about 400 plants; one oz. 
about 7,500 plants; 34 Ib. for an acre.

Plant outdoors in early spring and again about 3 months before frost. In hot areas 
the fall crop is best. A packet plants 25 ft., an ounce, 200 ft.
