SELF-BLANCHING OR 
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 and watering are necessary but not an abun- 
dance of water at one time. Regular spraying or 
dusting against diseases should be started after the 
GOLDEN VARIETIES 
plants reach a height of 10 inches, and continued until 
the crop is about ready for harvest. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (TALL STRAIN). The 
earliest and largest of the self-blanching va- 
rieties. Extensively used as a summer crop. 
Plants tall, 20 to 30 inches. Stalks medium 
thick, blanches very readily to a golden yellow 
color. 
MASTERPIECE. Early self-blanching variety of su- 
perior quality and appearance. 
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 Sth, 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 fuly 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 
rows 83 to 34 feet apart. 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 
matured Pascal. For celery to be carried over after 
November Ist protection 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 matured the celery is when placed in 
the trench. Also on the temperature, the warmer the 
trench the faster celery bleaches. 
HARTNER’S NEW STRAIN GIANT PASCAL. This 
strain is a careful selection of the delicious Colo- 
rado pascal. Plants are of medium height; have 
thick, large, well-rounded firm stalks of finest 
nutty flavor and crispness highly suited for both 
paper and trench blanching. Excellent keeper. 
WEIRICH’S STRAIN PASCAL. (Colorado grown 
seed.) Plants large; stalks are medium length,
