Celery 
Seleri—A pios—Sedanio Acci 
Sow seeds in hotbed or very early in open ground (it is slow to germinate, and should be kept moist). 
Sow in straight rows for convenience in weeding when plants are small. When five or six inches high 
thin out or transplant to five inches apart. Celery requires very rich soil and plenty of water. 
Plants may be set from May to the middle of August. Large growers 
set the crop level with the surface, having previously plowed in all the 
manure possible, and setting in rows three to four feet apart and five 
or six inches in the row.

celery in existence; the present stock is a result of more than twenty

several National Vegetable Growers’ Conventions. Our stock is an im- 
proved strain of “Golden Plume,” also called “Wonderful” developed from 
original stock. Grown from best and earliest plants; selected for their
