 in tine lieitlth anil vi(;ur. Tlie leatling varieties now grown are described and priced below. 



HENDERSON'S HALF DWARF. 



Except, perhaps, the (toldeii Dwarf, this variety is now 

 grown more extensively than any other hy the market 

 ■gardeners, wlio supply the New York City markets, and is 

 the kind now found on the tahles of all first-class hotels. 

 \Vhen hlanehed it is of a yellowish white, makinfj it very 

 ornamental for the tahle, is eutirely solid, possessing the 

 nutty Havor peculiar to the dwarf kinds, while it has much 

 more vigor of growth, surpassing most of the large-grown 

 •sorts in weitrht of hunch when grown under the same 

 conditions. 50 cts. i)er ICK) : »4 per 1000. 



WHITE WALNUT. 



We tested twenty ditferetit kinds of Celery last season in 

 -our Trial Grounds. " (,)f the entire lot we selected this one as 

 thehest. It attiiins a heightof 20 inches ; is solid and heavy, 

 and has a peculiar, rich waluut-like flavor. A novel feature 

 of this variety is its graceful and feather-like foliage, which 

 when blanched, makes it a most beautiful ornament for the 

 table. 60 cts. per 100 : S4 per 1000. 



LONDON RED. 



We have tried to impress upon our customers, for years, 

 the superiority of the Red Celery over the White. Not 

 -only that, as a rule, they are better flavored and more crisp, 

 but that they are hardier and keep better during winter. 

 The variety London Red is one of the best we have ever seen, 

 having eve'rv requisite good (jualitv. 60 c. f? 100 ; «5 ^ 1000. 



GOLDEN DWARF. 



A very distinct variety, which originated near Newark, 

 N. J., a few years ago, "and whose great value has been 

 shown by the fact that it is largely grown around that 

 hwality, for both the markets of Newark and New York. 

 In size an<l habit of growth it is much the same as the Half 

 Dwarf White kinds, except that when blanched the heart, 

 which is large and full, is of a waxy, golden yellow, render- 

 ing it a most striking and showy variety for "either market 

 or private use. It is entirely solid and of most excellent 

 flavor, and one of the best keepers during winter we have 

 ever known. 50 ots. per 100 ; »4 per 1000. 



MAJOR CLARKE'S PINK. 



So far as flavor goes, the red and pink varieties are, as a 

 rule, much superior to the white sorts. In our trials of 

 many varieties we have considered this, Major Clarke's 

 Pink, to be a desirable acquisition to existing lists of 

 Celeries, which, as customers know, is a leading specialty 

 witli us. It is of meiliuni growth, of stiff, close habit, large 

 heart, remarkablv stilid and crisp, and of fine walnut flavor. 

 60 cts. per 100 ; «5 per 1000.
