CELERY 
CULTURE—For the earliest crop the seed 
should be sown in a hot-bed during February 
or March. When the young plants are large 
enough and the trees are out in leaf, they are 
transplanted into the open. For the fall or 
main crop seed may be sown in the open 
ground as early in the spring as the soil can 
be worked into good condition, and the plants 
should be set in the rows in July. 
Celery requires a rich, well-manured soil, 
and plenty of moisture so that it can make a 
continuous growth. One-fourth ounce is suf- 
ficient for 100 feet of drill. One ounce sown 
in the seed-flat gives 8,000 to 10,000 plants; 
4 ounces for one acre. 
GIANT PASCAL — This celery has the 
sweet, nutty flavor of Golden Self Blanching. 
The plants are about 2 feet high; thick, solid 
and stringless, and as brittle as glass. Ma- 
tures in 140 days. It blanches easily and is 
a fine winter keeper for home or market. 
GOLDEN YELLOW SELF-BLANCHING— 
Dwarf sort with broad, heavy stalks which 
blanch to a rich golden yellow, is crisp, sweet, 
tender with a delicious flavor. 
Tall strain for truckers is earlier than the 
original strain and of the same excellent qual- 
ity. 
WHITE PLUME—This is the earliest and 
most easily blanched celery in cultivation. The 
plants grow rapidly and blanch easily during 
the summer months. The foliage is an attrac- 
tive light green color and the stalks are pure 
white. Crisp and nutty. An excellent home 
garden and early market sort.

COLLARDS 
A tall, loose leaved cabbage-like or kale- 
like plant grown throughout the South. It is 
extensively used for the table and for stock 
in the South, where it continues in growth and 
is usable throughout the entire winter. Col- 
lards usually succeed in locations where cab- 
bage cannot be grown to perfection. 
GEORGIA or CREOLE—tThis is the wide- 
stemmed variety, growing 2 or 3 feet high and 
forming a large, loose, open head or cluster of 
leaves with a rather long stem. A frost, if not

quality of the leaves. Sow thickly in drills 
where the plants are to remain and when well 
started thin to 18 inches apart in the row.
