LEADING VARIETIES. 



GOI.DEN DWARF. This valuable variety, so well por- 

 trayed on the colored plate of our catalogue last year, is in 

 size and habit of growth much the same as the Half-Dwarf 

 White sort; except that when blanched, the heart, which is 

 large and full, is of a waxy golden yellow, rendering it a most 

 showy and striking variety for either market or private use. 

 It is entirely solid, of most excellent flavor and one of the best 

 keepers during winter we have ever known. — By mail, per 

 100, $1.00; by express, per 100, 75c; per 1,000, $6.50; per 

 5000, $25.00. 



LONDON RED. We have tried to impress upon customers 

 for years the superiority of Red Celery over the White. Not 

 only that as a rule they are better flavored and more crisp, 

 but that they are hardier and keep better during winter. 

 This variety is perhaps the best of its class, and was also 

 figured in the colored plate above alluded to. By mail, per 

 100, $1.00; by express, per 100, 75c.; per 1000, $6.50; per 

 5000, $25.00. 



HENDERSON'S HALF.DWARP. This variety is now 

 grown more extensively than any other by the Market Gar- 

 deners who supply the New York City markets, and is the 

 kind now found on the tables of all first-class hotels. When 

 blanched, it is of a yellowish white, making it very orna- 

 mental for the table, is entirely solid, possessing the nutty 

 flavor peculiar to the dwarf kinds, while it has much more 

 vigor of growth, surpassing most of the large growing sorts 

 in weight of bunch when grown under the same conditions.
