CELERY (Continued) 
No vegetable requires more careful handling in seed 
production than celery. Kilgore’s celery seed is not just 
grown, it is bred, selected and rogued with the best of 
care and attention under our personal supervision.

SCHNECK’S IMPROVED FLORIDA GOLDEN NO. 15. 
(115 days.) After many years of breeding, selecting, and test- 
ing by our breeding department, we introduced this improved 
variety. It is intermediate between the Old Golden and Special 
or Golden Plume types, possessing the desirable characteristics 
of both types. It is recommended especially for a Florida mid- 
winter crop because it withstands cold weather better than most 
varieties of the Special or Golden Plume type. Our Improved 
stock has been selected for uniformly long, thick, round ribs, 
large full hearts of rich golden yellow color, and for heavy 
yields of good sizes. The ribs average eight to ten inches to 
the first joint, are not thin and flat, but are rounded and ex- 
ceptionally thick. The plants range from 21 to 24 inches over 
all, making a most attractive pack. This is one of the best vari- 
eties for a mid-winter crop in Florida.

KILGORE’S IMPROVED PRIDE (Regular Strain). 
(105 days.) The Kilgore Seed Company has spent a great deal of 
time, effort and expense in improving this stock of the Special or 
Golden Plume type of celery. It is very early in maturity, pro- 
duces a vigorous growth, with very broad, flat to semi-round, 
thick ribs or petioles, eight to ten inches to the first joint, rang- 
ing from 22 to 25 inches over all, making a very attractive pack. 
Unlike other strains of the Golden Plume or Wonderful type, 
Kilgore’s improved strain of Pride bleaches a little slower and 
does not go soft as quickly. It develops a good heavy heart, and 
is an exceedingly heavy yielder of good sizes, with large heavy 
butts. This is an excellent early winter and spring celery for 
Florida. One of the finest varieties of celery ever developed for 
Florida. Has been developed and selected for resistance to pre- 
mature seed stalk development, and does not go soft or pithy in 
cold or in hot weather.

Three Typical Plants of Kilgore’s Improved Pride Celery 
KILGORE’S WONDERFUL PEARL SPECIAL. (110 
days.) This highly selected stock blanches quickly, and has 
been selected for large, full heart formation with extremely 
broad, flat, thick, medium long ribs or petioles, ranging from 
6 to 8 inches to the first joint. Does not bolt to seed readily. 
The plants range from 18 to 20 inches over all. This is one 
of the best varieties of winter and spring Celery of the Special 
or Golden Plume type for Florida muck. Our stock is more 
resistant to hollow stem, early seeding, and resists Celery 
diseases better than most stocks of the Special or Golden Plume 
type. It is an exceptionally heavy yielder of large sizes and 
one of the finest long-distance shippers. Especially well suited 
for close culture on muck and for a late spring crop. Requires 
somewhat heavier fertilization than other varieties.

CORNELL No. 19 WHITE PASCAL. (Ivory) (120 days.) 
After several years of testing we have found that this new, 
heavy yielding variety, developed by the New York (Cornell) 
Agricultural Experiment Station, is the best strain of the dif- 
ferent Cornell White Pascals for Florida growing conditions. 
It is an easy blanching variety with the thick, fleshy, smooth, 
glossy rib or petiole, and high edible quality of the green Pas- 
cal type. The uniform plants are erect and very compact in 
growth, with long ribs and short, compact top growth. Plants 
will range from 20 to 23 inches over all, with ribs or petioles 
ranging from 7 to 9 inches to the first joint. Stalks bleach 
readily to a very attractive, waxy white color. Especially well 
adapted to muckland culture, and for an early and midwinter 
crop, but not so well suited as a late spring crop in Florida, 
due to the fact that it is somewhat susceptible to premature 
seeding in late spring if the young plants in seed-beds or in 
the field go through a long spell of low temperatures during 
the late fall or early winter. Must be handled very carefully 
because it is so brittle, it bruises easily.

1 Ib. $20.00 
TALL NON BOLTING GOLDEN PLUME (Linehart 
Special). (New) (115 days.) This new variety of the spe- 
cial type is extremely resistant to bolting during periods of low 
temperature. It makes a very short, compact top growth 
with good average length ribs, 7 to 8 inches to the first joint, 
with enormous size. An extremely heavy yielder, producing a 
very high percentage of 214, 3’s and 4’s when grown on muck.

CELTUCE 
Plant 1 packet to 40 feet of row for a family of 
3 or 4 people. 
CELTUCE. (New) (80 days.) This new vegetable from 
faraway western China is easy to grow. Plant forms a 
rosette of light green leaves which may be used when 
young as a salad or boiling greens. The central stem or 
stalk is the most valuable, usable part, which may be 
eaten either raw or cooked. The lower leaves should be 
removed, and all the tough outer skin should be peeled 
or cut off before the stalks or hearts are used, either 
serve raw as a delicious, crisp, brittle, succulent relish 
like celery or carrots with salt and mayonnaise, or when 
cooked they have a very pleasing, delicate, mild flavor. 
Seed may be planted in garden in rich, moist, fertile 
soil at any time, preferably during the cool weather of 
fall and winter, thinning plants to stand 12 to 15 inches 
apart in two foot rows. 
Seed supply very limited.
