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 31/ feet 
apart; set the plants 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows. 
After the plants have started to grow frequent culti- 
vation 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 abun- 
dance 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. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. (Tall French Strain.) 
A variety extensively grown in this district, 
known as a summer variety and shipped to dis- 
tant markets. Quick, robust grower, bleaches 
easily and stalks golden yellow color. Grows 
eight inches taller than most summer varieties. 
MASTERPIECE. A new early self-blanching variety 
of superior quality appearance. Somewhat dis- 
ease resistant. We recommend this variety very 
highly as a summer self-bleaching variety.

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 seeding 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 
tows 3 to 3l4 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.
