Those in search Of white tender. crisp
Utah celery just now are sure To be dis
appointed. as none is 10 be had. For
weeks past the supply has been steadily
dwindling and the quality becoming
poorer Now the consumers are obliged
to depend almost entirely upon celery
from California, which Is equal to that
grown In Utah in only two particulars
II can be shipped long distances and the
stalks look more attractive than the
home grown ones
In discussing the relative merits of
celery grown In Utah and in California,
a wholesale dealer In garden truck said
yesterday that as far color, tender
ness and sweetness are concerned. the
California product does not compare
with that grown by the gardeners OF
Utah But the great superiority of the
vegetab BILE grown I'm the Golden State is
that 1t can be shipped long distances.
and the stalks certainly make a better
appearance.
This dealer has Just returned from Cali
forna one day ne saw standing on the
tracks at Los Angeles forty cars of
celery some me of Ri5isd Mo Tor pTlnt ia5
celery he says, simply Will not stand to
be shipped long distances, and when sent
as far as California points must go by
express. But as far as the quality OF
Utah celery Is concerned, he was willing
TO award IL the blue ribbon over that
grown in any part OF the United States,
and he has. during long experience In the
business, handled the product from all
the sections of country where 1t is grown
There is a trihe difference In the price
of the ome-groNn and the CALIFORNIA

that raised in the vicinity of Salt Lake
can be had ut 90 cents. In the retail
market the California sells at 10 cents a
stalk while the Utah may be had at
cents a stalk. Two for 10 cents, and some
bring 10 cents.
