Easy Blanching Celery 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.
