SELF-BLANCHING OR GOLDEN VARIETIES 
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 
Ist 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 dust- 
ing against diseases should be started after the 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- 
tieties. Extensively used as a summer crop. 
Plants, tall, 20 to 30 inches. Stalks medium 
thick, blanches very readily to a golden yellow 
color. 
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 5, and for later crops seed may be sown any 
time up to the last of April. Late seeding can be start- 
ed in cold frames or even in beds out of doors. For 
early crop transplant to open ground or field about May 
1 and for later crop transplanting can be successfully 
done as late as July 20. 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 
3 to 312 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 1 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. Cover with straw or litter. The warmer 
the trench the faster celery bleaches. 
HARTNER’S COLORADO 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, 
thick and firm. An easy bleaching variety suit- 
able for both papering and trenching, and free 
from soft stalks and seeders.
