Celery Golden Self Blanching Paris Golden
For several years the French crops of this seed have been very short and it has been almost impossible to get dependable seed. I have had this grown in the most favorable part of the United States after the most approved methods; all green or hollow stalks being carefully culled out and have to recommend what I believe to be of the best possible American production of this seed. The stalks are a beautiful creamy yellow. The heart is large, solid, crisp and brittle. Price-(10c per pkt.) (30c per ½ oz.) (55c per oz.) ($1.50 per ¼ lb.) ($5.50 per lb.) ($5.00 per lb. In 10-lb. lots) postpaid. Wholesale prices-($4.50 per lb. In 25-lb. lots and up. The best I can secure from the leading French growers. Price-(10c per pkt.) (60c per ½ oz.) ($1.00 per oz.) ($3.25 per ¼ lb.) ($7.50 per ½ lb.) ($12.00 per lb.) ($11.50 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) postpaid.
Easy Blanching Celery
This variety is rapidly becoming one of the most popular sorts because it blanches so easily, grows so vigorously and produces well shaped plants of medium size and fine nutty flavor. The field above grown by a very successful Rocky Ford Grower was set one row on each border of a small furrow, then a four-foot space. When the photograph was taken there were more than twenty-two thousand well grown plants per acre ready to trench for winter market, or at 50c per dozen bunches a value of over $875.00 per acre. The total cost of growing, harvesting and trenching about $175.00 per acre, which indicates a nice profit per acre. It would have been better to have left only a twenty-inch space between double rows. Easy blanching may be classed as very early because it blanches so quickly that it may be had for very early use just a week or two after being trenched or banked. It is also an extra long keeper and desirable for late market. Easy blanching because it keeps so well and grows so vigorously, produces a seed crop at much less cost than Golden Self Blanching, hence the price is much lower. Price-(10c per pkt.) (30c per oz.) ($1.00 per ¼ lb.) ($3.50 per lb.) ($3.25 per lb. In 10-lb. lots) prepaid. Wholesale prices ($3.00 per lb. in 25-lb. lots and up) not prepaid.
Giant Pascal Celery
This is one of the most popular varieties for winter use. It is a very good keeper and properly stored can be kept until late in the winter or even until spring. Giant Pascal is of vigorous growth, making large, heavy, thick stalks which remain green until blanched by some artificial means, either by earthing or storing for the winter. It blanches to a creamy yellow when the stalks are quite brittle, entirely stringless and very crisp. I have sold large lots of this seed to market growers, who report excellent results. Price (10c per pkt.) (30c per oz.) (75c per ¼ lb.) ($2.50 per lb.) ($2.25 per lb. In 5-lb. lots and up) postpaid. Wholesale price ($2.00 per lb. In 25-lb. Lots and up) not prepaid.
Selected White Plume Celery
This is the earliest sort, and most easily blanched. The plant is a rapid grower and should be tied loosely together as soon as 5 or 6 inches high and earthed up to push the growth and blanching, also to insure close, attractively shaped branches. My seed is of extra quality and gives good results. Price-(10c per pkt.) (20c per oz.) (70c per ¼ lb.) ($2.50 per lb.) ($2.25 per lb. In 10-lb. lots) prepaid. Wholesale prices-($2.00 per lb. In 25-lb. Lots and up).
