CeleriaG. Knoll 3ellerie. 



One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants. Produces turnip- 

 shaped roots which may be cooked and sliced and used with vine- 

 gar, making a most excellent salad. 



Celeriac, Large Srnooth Prague. 

 Culture. — Sow the seed at the same season and give the same 

 treatment as common celery. Transplant the young plants to moist, 

 rich soil, in rows two feet apart, and six inches apart in the row. 

 Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion of this 

 vegetable, it is not necessary to earth up or "handle" it. After the 

 roots have attained a diameter of two inches or over they will be fit 

 for use. To keep through winter, pack in damp earth or sand and 

 put in the cellar, or leave out of doors, covering with earth and 

 straw, like beets or carrots. 



Large, Smooth Prague. — An improved form of 

 turnip-rooted celery, producing large ana smooth roots, 

 which are almost round, and with very few side roots. 

 Plants vigorous, with large, deep green foliage. Pkt., 5c. ; 

 oz., 15c; X lb., 40c; lb., $1.25.

It is easily grown by planting along the margins of ponds 

 and streams, where it increases both by spreading of the 

 roots and by seeding. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c 



Brussels Sprouts. 



Improved Half Dwarf. — The plants, whichare very 

 hardy, grow two to three feet 

 high, and produce from the sides 

 of the stalk numerous little 

 sprouts which resemble very 

 small cabbages, one or two-inch 

 in diameter. The leaves should 

 be broken down in the fall to 

 give the little heads moie room to grow 

 They should be treated in all respects like 

 winter cabbage or kale. We offer a care- 

 fully grown strain, very hardy, and giv- 

 ing compact, round Sprouts of large size 

 and good quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % 

 ilb., 40c; lb., $1.50.

 Ore v0(6. isgrownand treated like cab- 

 bage. The plant attains a 

 height of 18 inches, with an abund- 

 ance of beautiful light-green leaves 

 which are densely curled and crimp- 

 ed. Beides being very hardy it 

 possesses the ad vantage of all other 

 varieties in forciDg a second crop 

 of moss-curled leaves as soon as the 

 first ones are cut or have fallen off. 

 This new growth of second crop of Sprouts is of finest quality and 

 is ready for market during tie winter and early spring months, 

 when it demands fancy prices. Oz., 15c; ^ lb., 35c; lb., $1.25.
