FRENCH GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY: 
This is the best celery in cultivation for market gardeners. 
Since its introduction, in 1884, is has been steadily increasing 
in sales, until now it is the main early celery raised by market 
gardeners in the vicinity of Baltimore. The beautiful appear- 
ance of the plant, with its close habit, compact growth and 
straight, vigorous stalks, is faithfully shown in the illustra- 
tion. The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of deli- 
cious flavor when blanched with earth; but when the blanch- 
ing is done with boards it is apt to be more stringy. It is 
self-blanching to a very remarkable degree, for without bank- 
ing up or any covering whatever, even the outer ribs become 
a handsome, fresh, yellowish white color. The heart is large 
and solid and of a beautiful, rich, golden yellow color. No 
variety can surpass it, indeed equal the French Golden—
