Wc Deliver All Seeds Offered on this Page to any Post Office 

 in the United States. 



Sow the Seed in a cold-frame, or in the open ground, early in 

 April, and in June and July transplant. On the surface of the ground, 

 thoroughly enriched and cultivated beforehand, lay out lines 3 feet 

 apart, not trenches, as was formerly the custom. Set the plants in 

 these rows, about 4 inches apart. Until about the middle of August 

 the only work to be done is frequent cultivation and watering in dry 

 weather. Earthing up may then .begin and continue as long as the 

 plants grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. 

 White Plnnie (Perfected) — A very superior stock. Does not re- 

 quire to be earthed up, but if only loosely tied and soil drawn 

 close around the base of the leaves to keep them close together, 

 all the inner leaves and stalks will turn white and crisp. Pkt. 

 5c; oz. 20c; Vt lh. 60c; 1 lb $2.10 



Golden Self-Blanching— Originator's best French grown stock. 

 Like White Plume, this Celery requires very little earthing up 

 and in many other respects it is similar to it, differing, how- 

 ever, in color, which is yellowish, the heart being large and 

 solid and of a beautiful golden hue. French crop this year 

 extremely short. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; 2 ozs. $1.90; ^4 lb. $3.00;
