The most beautiful Celery that ever graced a table. 
Flavor most delicious, crisp and nutty. 
So brittle that a stalk held in the hand will almost break 
of its own weight. 
Absolutely solid and free from stringiness. 
The first and the last Celery that is fit to use. 
SRAM 
An advance in celeries that merits more than ordinary 
praise; it is an intermediate between white and red 
celeries, combining the good qualities of both. It is 
practically identical with our famous ‘“‘ White Plume,” 
but with the added merit of the stalks being exquisitely 
suffused with pink and possessing the crispness, rich, 
nutty flavor and long-keeping qualities for which red 
celeries are noted. ‘‘PINK PLUME” is also re- 
markably attractive when trimmed for the table. The 
solid succulent stalks are IVORY-WHITE SUF- 
FUSED WITH DAINTY PINK. 
It isastrong, healthy, compact grower, with no ten- 
dency to rust; stems very solid and erisp, extra early 
and a long keeper, remaining, when properly trenched, 
in perfect condition away intothe spring. The variega- 
tion on the tops does not show quite as early as the 
‘““White Plume,”’ but the celery blanches and matures 
really alittle earlier. It is a self-blanching variety— 
that is, it requires but aslightearthing up or banking 
to prepare this variety for the table. (See cut.)

The cut gives a good idea of the shape of this valuable variety. 
It will be noticed that it is inclined to taper off at the stem-end, 
and is generally a little pointed at the other end also. This is the 
GW Mostdesirable shape for pickles. The cucumbers are straight, 
\) long, even and slim, and until they reach their fullsize they are 
ofa very dark green color, so dark that it might be almost 
ealled ‘‘black.” The peculiar feature of this variety is the 
knobs or protuberances, upon which the spines are placed, are 
prominent at all stages of growth, giving the cucumber a very at- 
tractive appearance. This variety is the earliest and most prolific of all 
pickling cucumbers, and is certain to become a standard sort. While 
primarily a pickling variety, it is one of the very best for slicing, the 
cucumbers, when fully matured, being of good size and exceedingly 
tender and crisp. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. 14 lb., $1.00 lb.

ra “T must say a few words in regard to your ‘Cool and Crisp’ Cucumber. ‘ 
th It is a very superior variety. I started the seeds in a cold frame, and-had 
My them early, and they continued to bear the whole season until frost killed ¥

i astonished everybody.’’—JAMES L. BALMER, Marysville, Mich. 3
