Houser Strain
Of Celery Now
Being Replaced
Seeking an easy blanching
celery to replace the popular pre-
War Houser strain has been one
of the major moblems faced by
Lancaster Coumy producers un
til recent years when more than
a half dozen types have been de
veloped and tested on a farm
near Millersville.
There’s a long, interesting
story on Houser, how it passed
from the scene when Japanese
farmers were removed from their
California trucic fax ms as a secur
ity measure after Pearl Harbor
was attacked Houser seed be
came more scarce.
Here, it was reported in a field
day at the faims of Amos H
Funk, R 1 Mtllusville and Jacob
Siegnst, R 2 Lancaster, the con
sumer demands a smooth, stalky
green celery blanched in the
trenches, celery that is crisp,
sweet, nutty, that stores well and
shows good vigor
Some 35 giowers from York,
Lebanon and Lancaster counties
visited the two farms and saw
the 18 varieties of celeiy being
grown under test A nine-month
marketing season is the goal, to
replace the present eight-month
season.
Seed varieties selected by
glowers will be planted here in
the future Attending the meet
