White Plume
The peculiarity of the celery known as “White Plume” is, that by closing the stalks either by tying them up with matting, or by simply drawing the soil up against the plant and pressing it together with the hands, and again drawing up the soil with the hoe or plow, so as to keep the soil that has been squeezed against the celery in its place the work of blanching is completed; while it is well known that in all other kinds of celery in addition to this, the slow and troublesome process of high “banking” with the spade is a necessity. I find some difference of opinion among market gardeners in reference to its quality; some esteem it highly, while others call it but medium in flavor. The very qualities that make its culture so simple in the fall and early winter months unfit it for a spring celery as its tenderness and crispness of structure cause it to rot quicker than the old green kinds; but for use during the months of October, November, December, and early January, we advise it to be grown, if the saving of labor and quality be considerations. Pkt., 20c; oz., $1.75
