8 Do Not Neglect to Order Plenty of Celery 
CE LER One ounce will produce 
about 3000 plants 
Seed small, yellow, slightly striped gray; Celery odor. Sow seed 
in coldframes or In a warm seed-bed outdoors, in rows 8 to 10 inches 
apart, covering seed 14 inch. Transplant when fairly out of the seed 
leaf to another bed, or thin to 5 to 6 inches apart. ‘The plants should 
be set in shallow trenches in July, wide enough to hold one or two 
rows. The rows should be a foot apart and the plants be set 8 inches 
apart in the row. Earth up gradually to blanch, being careful not to 
get earth in the heart of the plants. 
GIANT PASCAL. One of the finest of the fall and winter sorts. 
The stalks are very lJarge, thick, solid, and crisp, with a delicious 
nutty flavor free from bitterness. It blanches easily and quickly. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. A very good early self-blanching 
Celery. It is a vigorous, compact grower, with straight, rich golden 
yellow stalks of excellent quality, being remarkably crisp, tender, 
and free from stringiness. 
WHITE PLUME. A good fall and winter sort, and a very popular 
market variety. As the plants mature, the inner stalks at leaves 
turn white, making it necessary to earth it up but little to complete 
the blanching. The flavor is good. A rapid grower which makes a 
handsome appearance when cut. 
DWARF GOLDEN HEART. This is a fine main-crop sort for fall 
and winter use. It is a compact, dwarf grower which is easily earthed 
up for blanching. The large, bunchy stalks have very solid hearts 
Sat blanch to a lovely waxen yellow, and are crisp and brittle and 
of excellent flavor. A good keeper. 
WONDERFUL or GOLDEN PLUME. Superior to its parent 
plant, Golden Self-Blanching. Matures a week earlier, producing 
exceptionally thick, large, solid stalks, from 9 to 10 inches to the first 
joint, which blanch easily. Rich creamy yellow in color. The stalks 
are stringless, hard, and firm, are less susceptible to blight, and 
withstand shipping perfectly. Our strain produces a heavy yield 
and few seeders. 
WINTER QUEEN. One of the best of the dwarf winter varieties. 
It resembles Golden Self-Blanching, but has the rich green coloring 
of Giant Pascal, yet blanches more quickly than the latter variety 
and is ready for market much earlier in the fall. It makes a hand- 
some appearance when bunched, for the large, extra-heavy stalks 
are all one length, with very large hearts. 

Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery 
This is a variety of Celery with turnip-shaped roots which ‘have 
the flavor of Celery and are white-fleshed and tender. Sow seed in 
the open ground in April and transplant the young plants like 
Celery. The roots may be eaten raw like radishes, or cooked like 
turnips; used largely for seasoning soups and stews. 
Chinese or Celery Cabbage 
Sow seed about August 1 m frames, and transplant, or sow in rows 
where plants are to remain, 24 feet apart, thinning to 12 inches 
apart in the row. Heads light green; leaves crumpled, tender, and of 
delicious flavor, and it retains Its crispness and flavor a long time. 
Inner leaves blanch creamy white, and may be eaten raw or cooked 
like asparagus. 
CHIHLI. Earlier than Pe-Tsai. Plants grow to a long, solid, 
white, cylindrical head 2 feet long. Leaves broad, smooth, fringed 
op the edges. A sure-heading variety of superior quality. Excellent 
or salads. 
PE-TSAI. A delicious vegetable resembling Cos lettuce, only a 
little heavier. It is not a cabbage, despite its name, and was intro- 
Sai il duced into the United States from China by the United States 
Celeriac (Turnip-rooted Celery) Department of Agriculture.
