120 HM ERFURT 
Giant Smooth Prague 
A fine vegetable for use in flavoring salads, soups, and stews. The large, turnip-like 
root formed under the ground is the edible portion. The hollow, dark green petioles 
or leaf stalks above ground are not good for eating fresh, but are often used in cooking 
to add flavor. The roots may be stored into the winter months.

Apium graveolens var. dulce 
Premature Seeding of Celery: Losses from fields shooting to seed before they are ready 
for market have become a hazard to the celery grower. Keeping the temperature around 
65 to 70° F. when the plants are being grown in the hotbed or greenhouse will often help 
reduce this trouble. 
When it comes time to harden the plants for transplanting, do this by withholding 
water until plants show signs of wilting, and not by exposing the plants to low tem- 
peratures. Temperatures of 40 to 50° for a week to 10 days will usually result in a high 
percentage of premature seeders.

aromatic flavor.
