V/e are unquestionably the largest raisers of Celery 

 Plants in the world, and our methods are such that we 

 invariably have the plants in the finest possible condition. 



We draw special attention to our 

 Transplanted Celery Plants. ^j^i^t 



The result of transplanting is seen in the dense mass of 

 fibrous roots that these plants possess, and on this ac- 

 count, with ordinary care, they are much easier to trans- 

 plant, and are more certain to do well.
