” varieties half 
an inch deep in 
a hotbed in Jan- 
uary or Febru- 
ary and trans- 
plant when 
proper size and 
when freezing 
weather is past; 
they will stand 
a light frost.

tie up the outer 
leaves to blanch the head and protect them from the sun and, 
weather; this prevents them becoming bitter and discolored.

mer, the principal 
plantings are made | 
in June, July and | 
August, transplant< 
ed two feet apart 
in the row and giv-« 
en frequent culti<- 
vation. A most exe 
cellent vegetable 
for the late fall, 
winter and early 
spring. The flavor 
is improved by 
frost. Cultivate 
like cabbage. rv)

CELERY 
CULTURE—Plant in February, March or beginning of April, in 
drills 8 to 10 inches apart, either in boxes indoors or in a bed of 
fine, rich soil, barely covering seeds. If the soil is dry, press the 
earth after covering, and keep clear of weeds, or the young plants 
will be smothered. Be sure the seed-bed is kept thoroughly moist 
until the seeds have germinated. When four inches high cut off 
the tops to make the plants stocky. Transplant from July to Oc- 
tober. August and September settings succeed excellently and 
require less labor than if set out earlier. To prepare a bed, dig 
trenches 6 inches deep and put in 3 or 4 inches fo well-rotted ma- 
nure, dig in well and cover with fine soil. Set the plants 6 to 8 
inches apart, press the soil firmly and earth up as they grow, but 
do not let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe 
weather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and 
place boards on top; mulch paper (see page 75) may be used. 
CGeleriac needs no earthing up, and may be planted in rows 18 
inches apart. Celery seeds germinate slowly; soak for 24 to 36 
hours before planting. 
Self -Blanching Celeries 
They grow quickly and blanch easily. The ease with which they 
are grown should give them a place in every home garden. Plant 
the self-blanching kinds for earliest use, and the winter varieties 
for general use later. 
1 115 Days)—Tender crispness, 
138. Golden Self-Blanching Anjoue natty flavor and ab- 
sence of strings make our Golden Self-Blanching a real deli- 
cacy. The stalks are broad, thick and heavy, and easily blanch 
to a rich, appetizing golden yellow. It is one of the easiest 
celeries to grow, for it blanches with much less earthing up than 
most celeries. Golden Self-Blanching deserves a place in your 
garden. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; %4 Ib. $2.00; lb. $7.00; 2-1b. lots $6.75 
per lb.; 5-1b. lots $6.50 per lhb.; 10-lb. lots $6.25 per lb., postpaid. 
1 (115 Days)—The earliest and 
137. Improved White Plume {115,2878)— heise being 
self-blanching, it blanches naturally and requires but little 
earthing up. It has a full heart that blanches pure white; the 
solid stalks are thick and crisp and havea rich and delicious 
nutty flavor. A fine celery for late summer and early fall use. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.65; 1b. $6.00; 2-lb. lots $5.75 per I1hb.; 
5-Ib. lots $5.50 per lb.; 10-lb. lots $5.25 per lb., postpaid. 
Winter Celeries 
Of firmer texture, more compact and solid than the self-blanch- 
ing kinds, and consequently better keepers. For late summer and 
early fall use we recommend that a portion of your planting be 
one of the early kinds like White Plume and Golden Self-Blanching, 
but for general use during the winter that one of the winter varie- 
ties be planted. ( 
° 135 Days)—The large, thick stalks are 
136. Giant Pascal crisp, of rich, nutty flavor and blanch eas- 
ily and quickly. The heart is creamy yellow. It is an ideal 
celery for late fall and winter and keeps splendidly. It is a se- 
lection from Golden Self-Blanching and inherits many of its 
fine qualities and keeps better. It blanches easily, makes large, 
extra heavy stalks with very large hearts, Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 
% Ih. $1.50; 1b. $5.50; 2-lb. lots $5.25 per 1b.; 5-lb. lots $5.00 per 
lb.; 10-lb. lots $4.75 per lb., postpaid. 
(120 Days) — 
141. Celeriac or Turnip Rooted Celery Grown exclusive- 
ly for its roots, which are fine for soups and stews or cooked 
and sliced as a salad. The roots keep all winter if packed in damp 
sand or put into kilns like beets, carrots and turnips. Plant and 
cultivate like celery except it does not require earthing up.
