Celery 
ling of straw or salt to retain the moisture. As 
soon as the seed is sprouted, take the hay or 
other.covering off. Celery seed will not germinate 
in dry soil; therefore, it is very essential to plant 
it very early in the Spring. Start in hotbed or 
open ground. Thin to 4” apart when 3” high. 
Transplant in June or July 6” to 8” in rows 3 
apart. Usually seed is sown 75 to .90 days before 
transplanting. 2 
Easy Blanching or Sanford Superb — 130 Days. 
Vigorous, plants medium size, stalks slightly 
taller than Golden Self-Blanching. White, crisp, 
thick, brittle, tender stalks, blanches easily, 
of-an aromatic or nutty flavor. Foliage very 
crumpled. 
Emperor or Fordhook — 130 Days. A Dwarf 
variety of superior excellence. Showy dark 
green foliage with a golden heart, noted be- 
cause of its particularly upright growth of un- 
usually thick, stocky. stalks. Very solid and 
large. No suckers. Sixteen inches high. 
Giant Pascal—140 Days. A mammoth, silver- 
white stalked variety, one of the best, if not 
the best, large green celeries still on the mar- 
ket. It is productive, consequently profitable. 
Golden Plume or Wonderful—115 Days. We hesi- 
tate to recommend a seed sort to take the place 
of Golden Self-Blanching, but here we offer 
something superior. This variety is an individu- 
al line selection from Golden Self-Blanching, is 
five to ten days earlier, produces a larger, 
thicker and more solid stalk, blanches much 
more easily, is of richer color, being creamy 
yellow and lastly, it withstands blight much 
better. No strain, no matter what the selling 
price may be, is superior to Golden Plume. 
Golden Self-Blanching (Tall) —120 Days. By 
many believed to equal the famous French 
grown of this variety. It is a big hearted type. 
The plants develop crisp, tender stalks of rich, 
golden yellow color. It requires little blanching. 
26 to 30 inches tall. 
Summer Pascal. Produces a round, smooth stalk 
with a good, full heart. Requires 10 days or 
more to bleach with paper. Slower growing 
than Wonderful and burns easier. 
VEGETABLES, CHOCK-FULL OF VITAMINS 
White Plume—115 Days. This is a most desir- 
able, early, handsome Celery. One of the best 
varieties of Celery in the market. It is espe- 
cially fine for private gardens. No garden 
should be without this most-delicate and deli- 
cious variety. It is self-blanching to a great 
extent—-consequently after earthing it blanches 
' very quickly and is soon ready for the table. 
It is tender and sweet. White Plume plants are 
very attractive in appearance. 
Turnip Rooted or Celariac 
Large Smooth Prague—120 Days. This plant is 
used for the large Turnip-like bulbs forming 
under the ground. The stems above ground are 
of no value except to use for flavoring. The 
seed should be sown and given the same treat- 
ment as any ordinary Celery, except it is not 
necessary to earth up the plants. 
Geudrells Sweet 
Corn, Hybrid 
This type of sweet corn is grown the same as the 
open pollinated except that it takes less seed per 
acre. Growers have found that 8 lb. is sufficient 
to plant an acre. Do not try to save.your seed 
from hybrids as the seed must be produced by 
crossing each year. On account of their deep root 
system they are more drouth and heat resistant 
and more immune to disease; they are also most 
prolific and uniform. ! 
Carmelcross—71 Days. Yellow. Stalk 5 to 6 feet. 
Ears 7" averaging 12 rows. Midseason variety.

customers. It will increase your yields and uni- 
formity of your crop.
