Celery 
Yellows Resistant Varieties 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce will produce 
from 5,000 to 10,000 plants, two ounces per acre. Muck soil 
is best for Celery, but good Celery may be grown on rich, 
loamy soil if water can be applied freely. Celery needs 
manure and fertilizer, but as muck soils are usually well 
supplied with an abundance of nitrogenous matter, a fer- 
tilizer high in phosphate and potash usually gives the best 
results. 
Sow seed in rows in the greenhouse or cold frame. When 
3 to 6 inches high transplant to the field, spacing yellow va- 
rieties 4 inches apart in the row, Pascal varieties 6 inches. 
Avoid prolonged chilling of young plants to reduce tendency 
to bolt seedstalks. Nitrogen side-dressing is beneficial on 
both yellow and green varieties, particularly on green.

EARLY FORTUNE (Improved Golden). This va- 
riety has been developed by Abbott and Cobb and is 
exactly the same family as Special 763. The only dif- 
ference is that the rib is medium length instead of the 
longer rib found in No. 763. To those wishing a medi- 
um rib, we suggest this stock for storage. This variety 
shows considerable resistance to fusarium yellows and 
soil diseases in the early crop in many areas.

one of Abbott and Cobb’s strain, and this also shows 
resistance to soil diseases for early planting.
