CELERY 
One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 plants, a packet 400 to 500 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, 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 recom- 
mended 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. ;

357 CORNELL 6. This new strain has the same extra fine quality as Cornell 19 and is pre- 
ferred by many growers. The stalks are not quite so tall, but they are 
even more smooth on the outside, and are deeply rounded with very thick crisp flesh. The plants 
make a heavy vigorous growth, producing good full hearts, and the thick stalks have a dis- 
tinctly nutty and rich flavor. Easily blanched to a beautiful creamy golden color which is en- 
hanced by the glossy sheen on the surface. A variety of the highest table quality, excellent both 
for market and home gardens.

365 GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. This is by far the most widely grown early yellow celery, and a ™ 
many gardeners consider it the best variety yet offered for early crop. Our strain is extra fine and is the 
true type which has made Golden Plume famous. 
The plants are sturdy and vigorous and resist disease well. The hearts are full and solid and of excellent 
quality. This strain has a beautiful even golden color with practically no soft stalks.

366 GOLDEN PLUME, Upland Strain. This excellent strain fills the need for a taller, 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.

Green Varieties 
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. Itis an early variety, maturing right 
after the yellow varieties and before Salt Lake. We offer an exceptionally fine stock. 
Pkt. 15¢c; 144 Oz. 40c; 4% Oz. 65c; Oz. $1.25; 144 Lh. $4.25. 
Also called UTAH. The Standard Green Celery. Green celery is superior to 
375 SALT LAKE. yellow both in quality and flavor and Salt Lake is famous for both these character- 
istics. 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.
