 ways easy to sell the best. J. Zander. 



Lexington Market, Oct. 29th, 1904. 

 Messrs. J. Bolgiano & Son, Baltimore, Md. 



Gentlemen: — For many, many years I have been buying 

 each year 2 pounds of your French Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing Celery seed. It has always turned out first-class in 

 every way. Mrs. L,aubach. 



71. French Golden Self-Blanching Celery.— Host Im- 

 portant. — While you can readily afford to put your whole 

 crop in our stock of this most valuable Celery, you cannot 

 afford to let this year go by without growing some of it. We 

 have positively refused to sell all Self-Blanching Celery Seed 

 except this stock. The Celery it produces will not only 

 bring the highest market price, but will create a new price 

 for you; your commission man can get outside figures for it, 

 and he will sell quickly all you can ship. Try our stock; 

 YOUR PRAISFS will be louder than ours. Perfect, solid, 

 crisp, vigorous stalks; thrifty, compact growth, self-blanch- 

 ing to a very remarkable degree; even the outer ribs become 

 a handsome, fresh, yellowish color, with a heart that is large 

 and solid, of a beautiful, rich golden yellow color. It never 

 becomes stringy or pethy. To fully appreciate its beauty 

 and attractions, it must be seen. Many of our customers 

 place their orders with us six months before planting time 

 in order to be sure of this stock of seed. Pitts. 5c and 10c. 

 Oz. 35c, 1/4 Lb. $1.00. 1/2 Lb. $2.00, Lb. $3.50. 



72. Perfected White Plume Celery.— "The test of time" has proven this 

 excellent Celery to rank as a leader among Celeries. It is most extensively 

 used on account of its extreme earliness. Its stalks and portions of its inner 

 leaves and heart are white naturally. By simply tying the plant together, 

 or by drawing the soil firm against the plant with the hand and repeating 

 the operation to hold the soil already against the plant in position, the work 

 of blanching is completed. Pitts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 15c, 1/4 Lb. 50c. 

 1/2 Lb. 75c. Lb. $1.50. 



73. Giant Pascal Celery.— This is a large, solid, excellent sort. It 

 blanches very quickly to a beautiful yellowish-white color, is very solid and 

 crisp, and of a fine nutty flavor. Stalks grow broad and thick, a single 

 plant making a large bunch. PKts, 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c, 2 Ozs. 25c. 

 1/4 Lb. 50c. 1/2 Lb. 75c. Lb. $1.50.
