CELERY 
Culture. Celery seed is very slow to germinate. Plant seed in 
the hotbed or very early in open ground. When three inches 
high, transplant four inches apart in finely pulverized rich soil. 
In June or July transplant 6 or 8 inches apart in rows three feet 
apart. Celery requires a great deal of water from the time the 
seed is sown until it is pulled. To blanch, drawn earth around 
the plants, or boards or paper may be used. An ounce will pro- 
duce about 5000 plants; a quarter pound will suffice for an acre. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
WONDERFUL (or Golden Plume) This is the original 
strain which we have been selling for many years. It 
is unusually thick set and compact, and attains excep- 
tional weight. We have seen 12 stalks that weighed 
72 pounds. Our strain is free from soft stalks and 
strings, and ships well. Remarkably free from seeders 
and especially good for late crop for this reason. The 
joint is from 9 to 10 inches long. If a longer first joint 
is wanted, we suggest our Long Jointed Wonderful.

Wonderful or Golden Plume 
LONG JOINTED WONDERFUL A selection from the original Wonderful, 
this newer strain has a longer first joint and is recommended where the 
original strain does not produce satisfactory height of stalk. It 
is also free from soft stalks, is heavy and compact and ships well.
