Golden Heart. 

 In 1886 this was 

 one of the most 

 popular varieties,

 silver white, and 

 very productive. It 

 blanches quite readily, and retains its freshness a long 

 time. The stalks are large, solid and fine flavored. The 

 Giant Paschal is a selection from the Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing; has the qualities of the latter, but is a better keeper 

 and is larger.
