5 



million Celery Plants 



FOR SETTING OUT IN 

 JULY AND AUGUST. 



AVe are probably the largeht raisers of CELERY PLANTS in the world, invariably having them 

 tine health and vigor. The lea<ling varieties now grown are described and priced below. 



HENDERSON'S HALF DWARF. 



Except, peiiiaps. the < loldt-ii Dwarf, tlii> variety is now 

 grown more extensively than any other by the market 

 gardeners, who supply the New York Uity markets, and is 

 tlie kind now found on the tahles of all'first-elass hotels. 

 When blanched it is of a yellowish white, making it very 

 ornamental for the table, is entirely solid, possessing the 

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

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

 sorts in weight of bunch when grown under the same 

 conditions. 50 cts. per 100 ; «4 per 1000. 



WHITE WALNUT. 



We tested twenty different kinds of Celery last season in 

 our Trial Grounds. Of the entire lot we selected this one as 

 thebest. It attains a height of 20 inches ; is solid and heavy, 

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

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

 when V)lanched, makes it a most beautiful ornament for the 

 table. 50 cts. per 100 : %\ per 1000. 



LONDON RED. 



We have tried to impress ujion 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 varietv l^ondon Red is one of the best we have ever seen, 

 ha%'ing every requisite good quality. 60 c. f) 100 ; «5 f. 1000. 



GOLDEN DWARF. 



A very distinct variety, Mhich originated near Newark, 

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

 shown by the fact that it is lai-gely grown around that 

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

 In size and 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 cts. 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 

 with us. It is of mediviiu growth, of stiff, close habit, large 

 heart, remarkablv solid and crisji, and of fine walnut flavor. 

 60 cts. per 100 ; »3 per 1000. 



BOSTON MARKET. 



A dwarf growing white variety, much esteemed in Boston 

 and vicinity. Qualitv of the verv best ; solid, crisp, and 

 tender. 50 cts. per 100 ; «4 per 1000.
