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. Cover the seed with no more 
than 14 in. of fine soil. Most failures to get the seed to germinate are due to covering too deep. 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, so 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. Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 45c; 4% Oz. 80c; Oz. $1.35; 144 Lb; $4.25. 
367 GOLDEN PLUME. Stockoff Strain. An extra-fine strain of Golden Plume, produced in 
ew Jersey and outstanding in performance on both muck and up- 
land. It is a tall type, very early and a vigorous grower, selected for large solid stalks and heavy, full 
hearts. Easily blanched, it has the size and quality that markets want and it will bring top prices. 
Growers who have tried this large, superior strain praise its vigor and husky growth, its uniformity 
and dependable yields. The stalks are long to the first joint, 8 to 10 in. broad, moderately ribbed 
and of good quality. We highly recommend this strain. 
Pkt. 25c; 44 Oz. 70c; % Oz. $1.10; Oz. $2.15; 44 Lb. $7.10; 1 Lb. $25.00. 
365 GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. Original Strain. This is the famous original strain of 
Golden Plume that has given such excellent results for many years. Our stock is uniform and true, 
the best of this type that can be obtained and it is used with satisfaction by many successful growers. 
The plants are sturdy and vigorous and are ready early. 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. Pkt. 15e; 44 Oz. 35c; 4% Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 144 Lb. $3.40. 
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 



Golden Plume home use and market. Easily blanched to a creamy golden color. Resistant to yellows and preferred 
StochotiStran by many growers, on both muck and upland. 
Pkt. 15c; 4 Oz. 70c; % Oz. $1.10; Oz. $2.00; 14 Lb. $6.15. 
GREEN VARIETIES 
377 SUMMER PASCAL, Most Delicious; Thick Crisp Stalks. In our opinion this is one of the 
finest quality celeries grown. The stems are so thick and tender that 
even the unbleached 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 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. 
Pkt. 20c; 44 Oz. 45c; 4% Oz. 75c; Oz. $1.30; 144 Lb. $4.25. 
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 characteristics. The stalks are large 
yet tender with no strings or fiber and with 
a thick well developed heart. There are prac- 
tically 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 
slorage. 
Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 35c; % Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 
1% Lb. $3.40.
