Plants are transplanted from July to Octo- ber. To grow fine celery you must have moist land highly fertilized. Some of the most successful celery growers use 1 to 2 tons of fertilizer per acre. When plants are about four inches high set in double rows 6x10 inches, on beds 2 feet wide and 30 inches apart. One ton high-grade fertilizer should be applied ten days before the plants are set, and second applica- tion one month after setting, and then 200 pounds of nitrate of soda every ten days until celery is ready to board for blanching. Golden Self-Blanching ~JSfr^m2 Southern market gardeners, and is far superior to all other sorts. Compact in growth, large stalks, and a beautiful rich golden yellow. Crisp and ten- der and free from stringiness. Our Golden Self- Blanching Celery Seed is grown for us in France by the originator, and can be depended upon for great purity and exceeding fine quality. We do not rec- ommend the American grown stock, as it usually proves very unsatisfactory for a marketing variety, being pithy and thoroughly unreliable in most cases.

Is a white celery, whereas the Golden Self-Blanching is yellow. White Plume bleaches naturally without being boarded, and is a splendid variety for home use, but we do not recommend it for a marketing va- rietv. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; % lb. $1; lb. $, postpaid. —This is a tine variety, general- ly grown in the South for a late celery, and for fall or winter sowings is certainly one of the best. Makes large, thick, solid stalks with a beautiful creamy heart. Blanches out nicely. Pkt.
