CELERY 
Celery can be grown on any reason- 
ably good loam soil when given plenty 
of moisture. The seed should be planted 
in hotbeds in February since it requires 
about three months for the seed to pro- 
duce a plant ready for transplanting in 
the field. Sow the seed in rows about 
3 inches apart and cover */s inch deep. 
When the plants are 2 inches high, thin 
them so that they stand 2 inches apart 
in the row. When transplanted to the 
field, set the plants 6 inches apart in 
GIANT PASCAL 
An outstanding variety for trenching and use 
during winter, that matures within 140 days. Its 
stalks grow tall, broad and thick yet unite closely. 
During maturity, the foliage turns a dark green, 
the crispy stalks a light green, and the heart blends 
in with its very light yellow. It is highly recom- 
mended for home use.

rows 3 feet apart. Celery grows slowly 
and frequent shallow cultivations are 
necessary. An abundance of fertilizer 
should be applied unless the soil is un- 
usually rich. 
Celery plants can be blanched by 
banking it with soil as the plants ap- 
proach maturity. Blanching can also be 
attained by wrapping a few pages of a 
magazine or newspaper around each 
plant and tying them in place. 
GOLDEN PLUME | 
Unlike the Pascal this short variety reaches ma- 
turity in about 85 days, and is the quickest matur- 
ing variety, as well as being resistant to blight. 
Its golden stalks grow to 8 inches in length, are 
uniform, and its eating qualities are excellent.

POPCORN 
Each season the orders for Sunburst 
popcorn become more numerous and 
larger in size as this variety becomes 
better known. Many yeers of careful 
selective work have produced a popcorn 
of exceptional quality. Maturing in 
about 110 days, each stalk produces two 
fine ears, 9 to 10 inches long, well-filled 
with amber-colored kernels, much larger 
than other varieties. Sunburst pops out 
snowy white and very soft and tender, 
and will increase 25 to 30 volumes in 
popping. The seed we offer has been 
carefully selected for yield, color, size 
and popping qualities.
