Cc E L = peg Y One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 
plants, a packet 400 to 500 plants. 
For very early planting celery 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 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 which we offer on page 74. 
GREEN VARIETIES 
378 SUMMER PASCAL. waltham Improved. 
115 days. In our opinion this is one of the finest cel- 
eries grown, whether for home or market. Surpass- 
ing the original Summer Pascal in size and plant 
type, it has the same thick tender stems and full rich 
flavor that made this celery so popular. 
The stalks are exceptionally long to the first joint, 
well-rounded, firm, thick and crisp, yet they stand 
handling well. The plants are medium in height, 
sturdy and robust with a vigorous upright growth. 
On both muck and upland, Summer Pascal, 
Waltham Strain has been a great success. An early 
variety, it responds well to high fertility and produces 
large crops of attractive, delicious celery. We highly 
recommend it. Pkt. 20c; 14 Oz. 60c; 
Oz. 90c; Oz. $1.50; 144 Lb. $4.35. 
Emerson Pascal 
The best variety for the home garden. 
362 EMERSON PASCAL. (New). Supreme Quality. 
120 days. The rich flavor and tenderness combined with resistance to blight make Emerson Pascal the finest 
green celery yet developed for home gardens, in our opinion. It is medium early with long thick rounded 
stems of choicest table quality, so crisp, brittle and fine flavored that even the unblanched outside stalks 
are a real treat. 
Named for the late Dr. R. A. Emerson of Cornell, this splendid celery has distinctive, finely cut leaves 
and usually requires little or no spraying. When planted close, it makes a husky, fairly erect growth and is 
adapted for market growers with quality markets. A wonderful kind to eat and very easy to grow. 
Pkt. 20c; 14 Oz. 60c; 44 Oz. $1.00; Oz. $1.60; 14 Lb. $5.25. 
Summer Pascal 
Waltham Improved 
384 UTAH 52-70 (New). Tall, Vigorous Strain. 125 days. This new late 
Pascal celery shows promise of replacing many of our present Utah 
strains. It is tall (28 to 30 in.) with extra long stalks and its erect, 
compact habit and large size make an ideal market type. The plants 
are rugged and sturdy with dark green leaves and very good hearts. 
Excellent for market and storage, Utah 52-70 is also fine for home 
use. The rounded, thick stalks have fine flavor and crispness, and each 
plant makes plenty of size. We strongly urge growers to try this hand- 
some strain. Pkt. 20c; 14 Oz. 70c; 4% Oz. $1.15; Oz. $2.15; 14 Lb. $7.10. 
383 UTAH 15. Large Pascal Type. 130 days. This late strain of the 
famous Salt Lake or Utah is used to produce much of the fine-flavored 
green celery that is shipped into our markets from the West. Many 
growers find it equally successful here, on both muck and upland. 
Utah 15 grows large and upright with thick rounded stems 8 to 10 in. 
long to the first joint and of fine quality, crisp, brittle and delicious. 
The plants are fairly tall, with an abundance of thick stalks, making 
a large heavy plant with plenty of heart. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 Oz. 50c; 4% Oz. 85c; Oz. $1.30; 144 Lb. $4.35. 
YELLOW OR SELF-BLANCHING VARIETIES 
359 CORNELL 619. (New). Wonderful Yellow Celery. 
100 days. Developed from a cross between Cornell 6 and the famous 
Cornell 19, this new strain seems superior to both parents. It has the 
extra thick smooth stalks of the first with the length, quality, and 
uniformity of the other, and it is an excellent yielder. Easily blanched, 
resistant to yellows, it is adapted for both muck and upland, and home 
or commercial use. 
This is another fine new variety from Dr. H. M. Munger and its 
high quality and good handling qualities should give it a real place. Use 
it for main crop—like Cornell 19, it may bolt if started early. 
Pkt..20c; 44 Oz. 65e;°% Oz. $1.10; Oz. $1.70; 24 Lib. $5.70: 
Large Prague—Unusual and delicious flavor. 
358 CORNELL 19. A Fine Variety with Top Quality. 100 days. This yellow, 
self-blanching type has the rounded stalks and good flavor of the 
Pascal types and is very popular. The long, smooth-ribbed stems are 
crisp and tender and the quality is carried even on the outer stalks. It 
is resistant to celery yellows and widely grown on muck and upland. 
Best for main crop and fall use, Cornell 19 may produce seeders if 
the young plants are kept too cool. It has a finer flavor than most 
yellow types and its splendid appearance and unusual quality make it 
excellent for home use as well as market. 
Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 50c; 44 Oz. 85c; Oz. $1.30; 144 Lb. $4.35. 
365 GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL. Original Strain. 90 days. The 
standard early yellow celery, popular with many leading growers 
both for home and market. It is early, making full, solid plants and the 
hearts are of excellent quality. Blanches easily to a beautiful golden 
color. Pkt. 15¢; 14 Oz. 35c; 44 Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 14 Lb. $3.50. 
CELERIAC 
Turnip Rooted or ‘‘Knob Celery” 
Easy to grow, this celery-like vegetable produces large thick roots 
which are eaten after they reach 2 in. or more in diameter. They re- 
quire no blanching and are very delicious in the fall and winter, as 
they are easily stored. Celeriac has a pleasant nut-like celery flavor. 
Try it cubed, boiled, served with cream sauce, or in soups and stews. 
352 LARGE PRAGUE. The Best Kind. 120 days. This superior variety pro- 
duces large even bulbs or “‘knobs’”’ of excellent quality. The standard 
market type because of its fine appearance, it is good for home use 
also, having a delicate appetizing flavor. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Oz. 45ce; Oz. 85c; 144 Lb. $2.40.
