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 celery is a yellow, 
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, 80 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 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. Extra thick stalks of finest quality. This strain has the same 
superior quality as Cornell 19 but has even thicker and smoother 
stalks. It makes a somewhat heavier growth and shows a little fuller heart and the stalks 
have a most attractive glossy sheen. They are not quite so tall to the first joint but the 
tender crisp flesh has a distinct nutty flavor that 
makes it very popular for both home use and 
market. Easily blanched to a creamy golden 
color. Resistant to yellows and preferred by many 


growers, on both muck and upland. ss

365 GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. Original Strain. This famous variety is still the most widely 
grown early yellow celery, and many gardeners consider it the best variety yet offered for early crop. Our 
strain is extra fine and is the true original type which has made Golden Plume famous. 
The plants are sturdy and vigorous and resist disease well. The hearts are exceptionally full and solid 
and of excellent quality, and the stalks blanch easily to a beautiful even golden color with practically no 
soft stalks. This is the finest strain of Golden Plume that can be obtained.

GREEN VARIETIES 
377 SUMMER PASCAL. Most Delicious; Thick Crisp Stalks. 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,

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 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.

363 GIANT PASCAL—Special Strain. Late. An old favorite variety which is used largely in New England 
and is considered one of the very best for late winter market. The stalks are very large, solid and blanch to 
a pure white.
