SELF-BLANCHING OR GOLDEN VARIETIES 
Culture: Golden Self-Blanching Varieties. For the 
early summer crop seed should be started in hotbeds 
the middle of March, and we suggest close attention, 
keeping the seed beds moist and giving plenty of air 
when the temperature is not too cold. Between the 
lst and 20th of May plants should be transplanted in 
single rows 3 feet apart, or if in double rows 
32 feet apart; set the plants 8 to 10 inches apart 
in the rows. After the plants have started to grow 
frequent cultivation is necessary. Never allow your 
celery crop to stunt on account of soil becoming too 
dry and baked. Celery requires frequent watering 
but not an abundance of water. The water should 
not be allowed to stand in the rows. All large 
celery growers should adopt a schedule of regular 
spraying or dusting against disease. This should be 
started after the plants reach a height of 10 inches, 
and continued until the crop is about ready for harvest.

PASCAL OR GREEN VARIETIES 
CULTURE: Pascal and Utah Varieties. For earliest 
crop, to be ready for market or home use about July 
15, seed should be sown indoors or in hotbeds around 
March 5th, and for later crops seed may be sown any 
time up to the last of April. Late seedings can be 
started in cold frames or even.in beds out of doors. 
For early crop transplant to open ground or field about 
May lst and for later crop transplanting can be suc 
cessfully done as late as July 20th. Pascal is usually 
grown in’single rows 30 to 36 inches apart and plants 
set 8 inches apart in rows or can be grown in double 
rows 3 to 3% feet apart. Frequent irrigation but not 
too much water at a time is best. Soil should not be 
allowed to bake or become hard. Cultivate often. 
Keep free from weeds. Regular dusting or spraying is 
advisable. When the plants have about reached their 
growth, the stalks can be bleached by wrapping paper 
around each stalk while still growing in the field. 
However, many markets prefer unbleached but ma- 
tured Pascal which is quite a saving to the growers. 
For celery to be carried over after November lst pro- 
tection against freezing is necessary, which is done 
by placing the celery in trenches about 12 to 14 inches 
wide and deep enough so that when the field plants 
are taken up with plenty of roots and placed in the 
trench, just the very top leaves are above the ground. 
Time required to bleach depends upon how well ma- 
tured the celery is when placed in the trench. Also 
on the temperature, the warmer the trench the faster 
celery bleaches.
