Damping off control in celery seed beds can be ef- 
fectively accomplished by six or seven sprayings with 
Wettable Spergon (see Page 52) at 5 to 7 day intervals, 
using one and one-half pounds of Spergon to 50 gallons 
of water for the first three applications, and 2 pounds 
Spergon to 50 gallons of water for the later applications. 
The spray must be applied heavy enough to reach the 
surface soil. (See Florida Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion Bulletin 397.)

SUPREME GOLDEN, (115 days.) A very vigorous, thrifty 
grower , with heavy dark green foliage. Makes very large sizes, 
uniform long ribs, 8 to 10 inches to first joint, with a short, com- 
pact top growth, the ribs growing straight up with a full heart. 
It is somewhat susceptible to cold damage and premature 
seeding. Under good growing conditions, this variety is an 
enormous yielder of large sizes, and with its very compact, 
upright growth, and uniform long rib length, it makes a very 
altractive appearance when packed for market.

KILGORE’S PRIDE (Regular Strain). (105 days.) The 
Kilgore Seed Company has spent a great deal of time, effort 
and expense in improving this stock of the Special or Golden 
Plume type of celery. It is very early in maturity, produces a 
vigorous growth, with very broad, flat to semi-round, thick ribs 
or petioles, eight to ten inches to the first joint, ranging from 
22 to 25 inches over all, making a very attractive pack. Unlike 
other strains of the Golden Plume or Wonderful type, Kilgore’s 
improved strain of Pride bleaches a little slower and does not 
go soft as quickly. It develops a good heavy heart, and is an 
exceedingly heavy yielder of good sizes, with large heavy butts. 
This is an excellent early winter and spring celery for Florida. 
One of the finest varieties of celery ever developed for Florida. 
Has been developed and selected for resistance to premature 
seed stalk development, and does not go soft or pithy in cold 
or in hot weather. It is more resistant to blight and withstands 
poor growing conditions better than other varieties of the Special 
Type. This variety of celery has more “class” when grown under 
Florida conditions where it was developed, than have other 
varieties bred and developed in other sections of the U. S.

A typical plant of Kilgore’s Pride Celery 
FLORIDA GOLDEN NO. 15 (SCHNECK’S IMPROVED). 
(115 days.) After many years of breeding, selecting, and test- 
ing by our breeding department, we introduced this improved 
variety. It is intermediate between the Old Golden and Special 
or Golden Plume types, possessing the desirable characteristics 
of both types. It is recommended especially for a Florida mid- 
winter crop because it withstands cold weather better than 
most varieties of the Special or Golden Plume type. Our Im- 
proved stock has been selected for uniformly long, thick, round 
ribs, large full hearts of rich golden yellow color, and for 
heavy yields of good sizes. The ribs average eight to ten inches 
to the first joint, are not thin and flat, but are rounded and 
exceptionally thick. The plants range from 21 to 24 inches 
over all, making a most attractive pack. This is one of the 
best varieties for a mid-winter crop in Florida, but is not as well 
suited to hot weather conditions of spring as is Kilgore’s Pride. 
Seed supply extremely limited.

CORNELL No. 19 WHITE PASCAL. (Ivory) (120 days.) 
After several years of testing we have found that this new, 
heavy yielding variety, developed by the New York (Cornell) 
Agricultural Experiment Station, is the best strain of the dif- 
ferent Cornell White Pascals for Florida growing conditions. 
It is an easy blanching variety with the thick, fleshy, smooth, 
glossy rib or petiole, and high edible quality of the green Pas- 
cal type. The uniform plants are erect and very compact in 
growth, with long ribs and short, compact top growth. Plants 
will range from 20 to 23 inches over all, with ribs or petioles 
ranging from 7 to 9 inches to the first joint. Stalks bleach 
readily to a very attractive, waxy white color. Especially well 
adapted to muckland culture, and for an early and midwinter 
crop, but not so well suited as a late spring crop in Florida, 
due to the fact that it is somewhat susceptible to premature 
seeding in late spring if the young plants in seed-beds or in 
the field go through a long spell of low temperatures during 
the late fall or early winter. Must be handled very carefully 
because it is so brittle, it bruises easily.

TALL NON-BOLTING GOLDEN PLUME (Leinhart 
Special). (115 days.) This variety of the special type is ex- 
tremely resistant to bolting during periods of low temperature. 
It makes a very short, compact top growth with good average 
length ribs, 7 to 8 inches to the first joint, with enormous size. 
An extremely heavy yielder, producing a very high percentage 
of 24%4’s, 3’s and 4’s when grown on muck. Although our strain 
of this variety has been selected for more uniform, longer ribs, 
it is not recommended for a mid-winter crop, but is especially 
suitable for a spring crop on muck because it resists premature 
seeding. 
Seed supply extremely limited.

CELTUCE 
(CHINESE STEM LETTUCE) 
Plant 1 packet to 40 feet of row for a family of 
3 or 4 people. 
CELTUCE. (80 days.) This vegetable originated in faraway 
western China. It is easy to grow. Plant forms a rosette of 
light green leaves which may be used when young as a salad 
or boiling greens. The central stem or stalk is the most valu- 
able, usable part, which may be eaten either raw or cooked. 
The lower leaves should be removed, and all the tough outer 
skin should be peeled or cut off before the stalks or hearts are 
used, either serve raw as a delicious, crisp, brittle, succulent 
relish like celery or carrots with salt and mayonnaise, or when 
cooked they have a very pleasing, delicate, mild flavor. Seed 
may be planted in garden in rich, moist, fertile soil at any 
time, preferably during the cool weather of fall and winter, 
thinning plants to stand 12 to 15 inches apart in two foot rows.
