‘Tri-State’s Celery 
CuLturRE. Plant the seed early and transplant when the 
seedlings are 3 inches tall. In July move to the open row, 
6 inches apart. Plenty of moisture is needed all during the 
growing season. Blanch with earth or boards in the fall. 
1 oz. produces about 5000 plants; 4lb. plants an acre. 
RESISTANT GOLDEN PLUME. 115 days. Similar 
to Golden Plume Special but highly resistant to 
fusarium yellows. Plants are tall, normally 25 to 27 
inches in height, compact and straight. Blanches 
easily and has full hearts. Stems 7144 to 8% inches 
long, thick and solid. 
GOLDEN PLUME SPECIAL. 115 days. Splendid 
early Celery developed from the famous Golden Self- 
Blanching; the stalks, however, are larger. The 
plants are semi-dwarf, stocky and vigorous in growth 
with a very full heart which blanches quickly to a 
rich golden yellow color; the flavor is nutty and rich. 
SUMMER PASCAL (Waltham Strain). 115 days. 
Plants of medium height but with good length to the 
first joint. Blanches more readily than some other 
strains of Pascal Celery. It bleaches easily with 
paper or boards. The stalks are nearly round, smooth 
and of outstanding quality. Truly a choice product, 
fast replacing the white type.

joint with an over-all height of 24 to 25 inches.
