. A BEST jSORT«S 



Sow the seed in a well prepared soil as soon as the ground is in a proper condition to work. Sow in drills and tread the seed firmly 2n; 

 thin out to an inch apart, and keep the ground well worked and free from weeds. In order to secure stock plants, cut off the tops once 

 or twice before transplanting, which should be about in July. Make the soil very rich with well-rotted manure, which should be dug in 

 deep; a moist, low rich bottom land or well-drained muck soil is preferable. Set the plants eight or twelve inches apart. To blanch, draw 

 tarth around the plants from time to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the centre shoots. 1 oz. to 1000 plants. 



White Plume. — This is a very profitable extra early 

 market variety, requiring little labor. It is solid, of fine 

 flavor, and very ornamental. It matures three weeks earlier 

 than other sorts, and it deserves unqualified praise, and 

 calls for no apology. Pkt., 5c; oz„ 20c; % lb., 40c; lb., 

 $1.50. 



New Giant Pascal. — Developed from the Golden 

 Self-Blanching, it retains the beautiful color. The stocks 

 are very large, thick, solid, crisp, and of rich, nutty flavor, 

 free from any taste of bitterness. It branches very easily 

 and retains color and fresh appearance long after being 

 marketed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



French. Golden Yellow Self-Blanching.— (Orig- 

 inator's Stock. ) This is the best Celery for early use. 

 Critical gardeners depend upon our stock of this sort to 

 produce their finest early Celery. Plants of a yellowish- 

 green color, but as they mature the inner stems and leaves 

 turn a beautiful golden yellow, which adds much to their 

 attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much 

 easier. The handsome color, crispness, tenderness, freedom 

 from stringiness and fine nutty flavor of this variety make 

 it only necessary to be tried in order to establish it as the 

 standard of excellence as an early sort. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 

 X lb., 90c; lb., $3.25. 



(New) Snow "White. — Is without a rival in purity of 

 color, and keeps the best of any Celery yet introduced. 

 Growth erect and very compact; this habit is of great ad- 

 vantage and is appreciated by every Celery grower. The 

 plants are easily worked and may be well earthed up for 

 blanching. Foliage dark green; heart large, solid and 

 formed early; stalks white, thick, yet brittle and without 

 stringiness. and of good quality. It requires more time to 



mature than some sorts, but remains firm, solid and in per- 

 fect condition until late in spring. We recommend it as 

 the best variety for the late market. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 

 % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 



Winter Queen. — This is the fine Dwarf Winter 

 Celery, being quite similar to the Golden Self-Blanching, 

 but of a rich green coloring like the Giant Pascal. It is 

 more readily blanched than the latter, and ready for use or 

 market much earlier in the fall. The plants make large 

 bunches of extra heavy stalks with a large heart. The 

 stalks are all of even length, and it makes the most hand- 

 some appearance of any variety when bunched. The stalks 

 are very fine in flavor, of best table quality, and are of a 

 rich golden-yellow when blanched. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; X 

 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



Perle Le Grand.— A good early sort. Handsome, 

 stocky, robust, rich nutty flavor, a long keeper. Oz., 15c; 

 % lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



Evans* New Triumph. — This variety has a very 

 strong and vigorous plant, with very large but crisp, brittle, 

 tender and fine flavored stalks. It is late and requires the 

 whole season to develop, but will keep longer than other 

 6orts. We recommend it as worthy of the first place as a 

 late Celery. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c ; lb., $1.25._ 



Kalamazoo. — Vigorous grower, very large rib variety, 

 maturing late. Pkt , 5c; oz., 15c; ]i lb., 40c; lb., $1.25.
