CELERY 
One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 plants, a packet 400 to 500 plants. 
Good celery is not difficult to raise. The trouble most unskilled gar- 
deners experience is in raising the plants. For very early planting the 
seed should be sown in the greenhouse or hot bed in February or first of 
March. For late crop the seed is sown in the open ground as early as 
possible. Great care must be taken not to cover the seed too deep. Most 
failures to get the seed to germinate are due to this cause. 
For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy the plants.

377 SUMMER PASCAL. New Early Green Celery of Superior Quality. In our opinion 
this is the finest quality celery grown. The stems are so thick and 
tender that even the unblanched outside stalks are surprisingly fine. They have a rich full flavor 
that is seldom found in celery. The plant is not tall, but sturdy and robust. The stems to the first 
joint are exceptionally long (8 to 9 in.) and the inside stems grow long also making a thick solid 
plant. It blanches to a pure white. 
Summer Pascal is highly popular wherever green celery is grown. It is an early variety, maturing 
right after Easy Blanching and before Salt Lake. We offer an exceptionally fine stock.

375 SALT LAKE. alse called UTAH. The 
tandard Green Celery. 
Green celery is superior to yellow both in quality 
and flavor and Salt Lake is famous for both these 
characteristics. The stalks are large yet tender 
with no strings or fiber and with a thick well de- 
veloped heart. There are practically no soft stalks. 
This celery blanches quicker than many green 
varieties and when blanched is pure white, very 
crisp, brittle and altogether of the finest flavor. 
The firm hard stalks keep well and we can 
highly recommend this celery for winter storage.
