French Golden Self- 

 Blanching'. — This variety, first 

 introduced in America, 1884, is now 

 the leading variety in all markets as 

 an early Celer}'. The stalks are 

 much broader and heavier than those 

 of the White Plume, and greatly su- 

 perior in quality. It is ready tor use 

 nearly as early, producing dwarfer 

 and much larger bunches of broad, 

 heavy stalk, blanching to a deep 

 golden yellow. Plants are of dwarf, 

 compact habit, with very thick, 

 solid, heavily ribbed stalks. When 

 grown in rich, moist soil the large 

 stalks are verj* numerous, each platit 

 being fully as thick through as the 

 largest of the tall late sorts, with a 

 very large, solid heart and beautiful 

 golden-yellow stalks and leaves. 

 When quickh' grown the stalks are 

 crisp and solid, brittle and free from 

 any stringiness; of delicious flavor. 

 Our seed is of the original strain 

 grown from carefully selected plants, 

 so that purchasers maj' be sure of 

 receiving the genuine strain. Oz.,
