 the nice little sum of $6,120.72. This

71. French Golden Self-Blanching Celery.— Most 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 

 PRAISES will be louder than ours. Perfect, solid, crisp, 

 vigorous stalks; thrifty, compact growth, self-blanching to a 

 very remarkable degree; even the outer ribs become a hand- 

 some, fresh, yellowish color, with a heart that is large and 

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

 stingy 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. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 35c, 1/4 Lb. $1.00. 

 1/2 Lb, $2.00, Lb. $3.50.

Bolgiano's French Grown NEW VICTORY Celery. 



81. As an excellent winter Celery, Bolgiano's New Victory has no equal. We have grown this seed in America for several years and find by 

 careful experiments it loses some of its solidity; while Seed we have grown in France remains as solid as the finest stock of French Golden Self- 

 Blanching Celery. As a result we have grown our entire supply for this Season in France and we can recommend it to you as the most solid and 

 most profitable of all winter celeries. Our French grower, carefully selects by hand each individual plant in transplanting and only the absolutely 

 solid plants are retained, the rest are thrown away. Again when he puts the full grown plants in Kilns for Winter, each individual plant is gone 

 over and only the absolutely solid are put in the Kilns. Again in the Spring before putting the plants in the bed where the celery is to go to seed 

 only the absolutely solid plants are used. We are sure our stock of French Grown "New Victory" Celery is the Best Winter Celery on Earth. 



It has a great amount of heart, is heavier, stouter, and thicker than all its rivals. It is the most economical Celery yet introduced, every particle 

 being solid, crisp, and of a delicious nutty flavor. Its beautiful, large, golden heart and compact growth make an ornament hard to surpass. It is 

 a remarkable keeper, maintainingitsfirmnessas late as May. Critical market gardeners pronounced it tobe of the finest quality, best keeper and 

 most salable Celery they have ever raised. It is ready for market by December. PKts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. 1/4 lb. 50c. 1/2 lb. 75c. Lb. $1.50.
