VEGETABLES RAISED FOR MARKET 



and compact, erect manner of growth. This 

 shapely style of growth, and also the clear golden- 

 yellow colour of the hearts, and of the leaves, 

 after the blanching process has been applied, 

 contribute to make it a very attractive kind. It 

 is a sort very easily grown; it shows well when 

 put up for market; keeps well in the boxes, and 

 looks well on the table; but it is not first-class 

 in quality. However, for early use, large quantities 

 are disposed of, and the thing that will sell is the 

 thing to grow. It is usually sold from the field, 

 being a sort that does not keep well in pits; and 

 lasts till after Thanksgiving. 



White Plume, already spoken of, is attractive- 

 looking in growth, and also when prepared for 

 market is very handsome; and is of excellent 

 quality. This sort is blanched by banking with 

 earth until ready for market; like Paris Golden, 

 it is best sold directly from the field. The inner 

 stalks and leaves of this variety are naturally white. 



Giant Pascal is the variety most largely grown 

 for late celery or, as it is called in Boston markets, 

 Green Celery. Unsurpassed for keeping and 

 will yield more bunches to the acre than any 

 other of the late sorts.
