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 gardeners 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. See page 74. 
Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
358 CORNELL 19. (New.) The Best Yellow Celery. This beautiful new celery 
is a yellow or self-blanching type with all the fine qualities of 
the Green Pascal celeries. The stalks are very long, smooth ribbed and deeply rounded, 
and the flesh is thick and tender and without strings. The remarkable quality is carried 
even on the outer stalks, so that not only the heart but the entire plant is delicious to eat, 
and the flavor is much finer than any other yellow celery. 
Cornell 19 is resistant to yellows and well adapted for both muck and upland. Not 
recommended for early crop but it is without equal for main crop and storage. On the 
market it brings premium prices because of its fine appearance and unusual quality and 
it is by far the best yellow celery for the home garden.

longer stemmed Golden Plume for upland growing. It is just as early and as easily 
blanched as the original strain but grows about 2 inches taller and the stems are longer 
to the first joint. The plants are straighter and more compact. It produces very full 
hearts and heavy yields. Sometimes grows too tall on muck but is preferred by many 

growers for upland.

This is a really delicious vegetable which gives a very welcome addition 
to the fall and winter menu. It is easy to grow and should be in every home 
garden. It is a kind of Celery which forms large bulb-like roots. The 
bulbs when cut into cubes, boiled and served with a cream sauce are

size when grown on mellow well fertilized ground.

Green Uarieties 
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 the yellow varieties and before Salt Lake. We offer an exceptionally fine stock.

quality is even better than that variety. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 144 Lb. $2.35. 
375 SALT LAKE. Also called UTAH. The Standard 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 developed 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.
