CELERY, UTAH 
Celery 
V4 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
CULTURE—Sow from February to May 
in drills 1 foot apart. Later, usually in 
June, transplant to rows 3 feet apart and 
6 inches apart in row. Rows should be 
furrowed out so plants may be set 6 inches 
deep. Later, soil may be banked against 
rows for blanching, even so-called self- 
blanching varieties needing the cool, moist 
soil to render the stalks crisp and tender, 
but this should not be done until a few 
weeks before harvesting. One ounce of 
seed will produce five thousand plants. 
*x*GOLDEN PLUME. A yellow celery re- 
sembling the Golden Self-Blanching in 
several respects. Its height is about the 
same, but it is about two weeks earlier. 
It also makes a larger bunch which 
blanches easier and whiter. It is especially 
recommended for the home garden on ac- 
count of its hardiness, easiness to blanch 
and its fine quality. Pkg. 10c; '/% oz. 30c; 
fOZOOG. 
WHITE PLUME. Most popular with 
white stalks and leaves. Very ornamental.

blanching as the other kinds. Pkg. 10c; 
Yo oz. 30c; 1 oz. 50c.

pact and solid. Stems broad, thick and 
well rounded, flavor rich and nutty. Pkg.

Celtuce 
A new vegetable. The plant begins its 
growth like lettuce, When the green leaves 
may be used in salads. Later the seed 
stalk elongates, becoming 18 inches and 
1% inches in diameter. This stalk is ten- 
der, pale translucent green in color, very 
succulent, with a flavor like that of celery 
and lettuce deliciously blended. Celtuce 
grows best under the same conditions of 
soil, temperature and moisture as lettuce. 
Sow the seed as early as possible in the 
spring, covering only lightly in rows 18 
inches or more apart. Thin or transplant 
to stand at least 10 inches apart in the 
row. Per pkg. 10c; 1 oz. 60c.

*GOLDEN BANTAM. This is the finest 
and best sweet corn grown. While it is 
several days later than Early Market and 
Golden Early Market its delicious flavor 
and sweetness more than make up for the 
few days’ difference in maturity. As a 
market corn it has no superior. The cobs 
are medium sized, the kernels yellow, 
plump and of a flavor that has no equal. 
*xCARMELCROSS. This fine hybrid sweet 
corn is about five days later than Mar- 
cross. The plant is taller than Marcross 
and the yield is greater. The tender ker- 
nels are of fine flavor with from 14 to 16 
rows per ear. Price: Pkt. 10c; Yo Ib. 25c; 
1 Ib. 45c. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM. The 
kernels are deep rich golden yellow, set 
close on the cob, nearly all of which are 
twelve rowed and somewhat larger than 
regular Golden Bantam. The quality and 
flavor are unsurpassed. Fine for either 
home or market. Four days earlier than

*GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. This 1s a 
new sweet corn introduced in 1925 which 
has increased steadily in popularity owing 
to its extreme earliness. It is a cross be- 
tween Early Market and Golden Bantam 
and combines the good qualities of both 
parents. The ears are 14 to 16 rowed and 
the color a creamy yellow of fine flavor. 
It is very sweet and tender. A very fine 
corn either for the home garden or for 
market.

Market will mature for table use about 10 
days earlier than Golden Bantam.

market. It was originated in the North- 
west several years ago. The ear is large, 
the kernels plump and sweet, and of 
Purest white.

riety which on account of its large ear, 
being 10 to 14 rowed, is well adapted to 
home, market or canners’ use. The ker- 
nels are of medium width and depth and 
slightly lighter in color than Golden Ban- 
tam. The flavor is similar but the yield 
somewhat heavier and later, as well as 
maturing more nearly even than other 
sorts. Four days tater than Golden Ban- 
tam. Pkt. 10c; > Ib. 25c; 1 Ib. 45c; 5 Ibs.
