Giant Golden Heart— The market gardener will find in this a most desirable 

 sort. Its rich golden color alone would suffice as a recommendation, but 

 it has the additional merits of size, excellent quality, crispness and very 

 fine flavor. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 30cts.; M lb., 60cts.; 1 lb $1 75 



White Plume— Unlike most varieties, this one does not require to be earthed 

 up, but if only loosely tied, a few handfuls of earth brought close around 

 the base of the leaves to keep them close together, all the inner leaves 

 or thin stalks will turn white and crisp. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 25 cts. ; % lb., 

 60cts.; 1 lb 2 00 



Giant Pascal— A selection from the Golden Self-Blanching, possessing all 

 the good qualities of that variety, but much larger and a better keeper. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; M lb., 50 cts.; 1 lb 1 50 



Henderson's Half Dwarf— A leading market variety, of medium growth, 

 excellent in quality and a good keeper. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 20 cts. ; X lb., 

 50 cts.; 1 lb 1 50 



Golden Dwarf— Waxy golden yellow when fully blanched. Crisp, solid and 

 of excellent flavor. As a keeper in winter it has no superior. Pkt., 5 

 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; M lb., 50 cts.; lib 1 50 



Sandrlngham Dwarf White — A well-known and very superior variety, of 

 fine flavor and firm texture. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz , 20 cts; M, lb., 50 cts. : 1 lb..l 50 



Boston Market— Dwarf in habit, white stemmed, flavor excellent; a good 

 keeper. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; M lb., 50 cts.; lib 1 50 



New Rose— Color, a beautiful rose shade of very fine flavor, crisp and solid. 

 Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 25 cts.; \i lb., 60 cts.; lib 2 00 



London Red— A most excellent variety. Like the majority of Red Celeries, 

 it is crisp and of fine flavor, and an excellent keeper. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 23 

 cts.;J£ lb., 50 cts.; 1 lb 1 50 



Henderson's Pink Plume— Is a self-blanching variety after the style of 

 White Plume, requiring very little earthing or banking up. We consider 

 this variety to be of exceptional merit, combining as it does all the good 

 qualities of the famous White Plume coupled with the rich nutty flavor 

 and good keeping qualities of the Red Celeries. The atoms are of hand- 

 some appearance, of a beautiful delicate pink never before met with in 

 any variety of Celery. In appearance they are vastly superior to any of 

 the sorts at present in cultivation. For table decoration we would spe- 

 cially recommend you to grow this variety, as nothing can be more attract- 

 ive for the table than a f w stems of this mixed in with White Plume or 

 Golden Self-Blanching. Its keeping qualities are also remarkable, re- 

 maining fit for use when most of the earlier Celeries are long past using. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J£ lb , $1.00; 1 lb 3 00 



Soup Celery (Old Seed)— Excellent for flavoring. Oz., 5 cts.; 1 lb 30 



CELERY PLANTS READY BEGINNING OF JUNE. See PAGE 27. 



CELERY. 



German, ©elcrle. 

 French, Celeri. 

 1 oz. to 3,000 plants. 



Although a few gardeners 

 continue to cultivate this 

 vegetable on the old plan, 

 the only one practiced years 

 ago, its cultivation has un- 

 dergone a great reformation 

 of late j ears. Very little of 

 the seed is now sown in hot- 

 beds, but instead is sown in 

 a cold frame or even out in 

 the open air, early in April, 

 and in June and July is 

 transplanted where it is in- 

 tended to mature. The young 

 plants, before transplanting, 

 should be clipped down par- 

 tially two or three times to 

 promote a stubby growth. 

 On the ground, previously 

 golden self-blanching celert. thoroughly enriched and cul- 



tivated, lay out lines 3 feet apart on the surface, not in trenches, as used to be planted. Set the plants in 

 these rows about six inches apart. Until about the middle of August the only work to be done is frequent 

 cultivation and watering in dry weather. Earthing up may then begin and continue as long as the plants 

 grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. 



Golden SeIf=BIanching— Like the White Plume, this Celery requires very little earthing up, and in 

 many other respects it is similar to that favorite sort, differing, however, in color, which is yellow- 

 ish, the heart being large and solid and of a beautiful golden hue. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 3£ lb., 



70 cts.; lib $2 25 



Perfection Heartwell— An excellent large solid growing variety of creamy white color ; one of the very 

 best market sorts and a good keeper. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \i lb., 50 cts.; 1 lb 1 50 



CEIiEBIAC— Turnip-Rooted Celery. 



German, SnoHsSelerie. French, Cele riac-Rave. 



A variety of Cel- 

 ery having turnip- 

 shaped roots, 

 which, when cook- 

 ed and sliced and 

 used with vinegar, 

 makes a most ex- 

 cellent salad. It is 

 more hardy and 

 may be treated 

 same as Celery. 



Large Erfurt— 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 

 cts. ; H lb., 40 cts. ; 

 1 lb., $1.25. 



Large Smooth 

 Prague Celeriac— 

 This is the largest 

 and best variety 

 grown; round in 

 shape, smooth, 

 with few side roots. 



LARGE PRAGUE CELERIAC. 



Pkt., 5 cts; oz., 15 cts; M lb., 50 cts; 1 lb. 

 CHERVIL.

 Curled— The young leaves are used in soups and salads. Sow in May, in

CORN SALAD, 

 FETTICUS.

German, Sammerialat. 



French, Mache.
