EVANS' TRIUMPH. 



Evan's Triumph — The most profitable celery for the market 

 gardener. Large solid stalks, of the finest flavor. The best 

 late Celery and a perfect keeper. Market gardeners and Cel- 

 ery growers all over the country have found this the best Cel- 

 ery for late work. It is a splendid keeper and the stalks are 

 large, very solid, and creamy white in color. In quality it is 

 perfect, being exceedingly crisp and tender, and has a rich, 

 nut-like flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; V-t lb. 50c;l lb $1.75 



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, combin- 

 ing 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. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; 1 lb.$2.00 



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

 most desirable sort. Its rich golden color alone would suf- 

 fice as a recommendation, but it has the additional merits of 

 size, excellent quality, crispness %.nd very fine flavor. Pkt. 

 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; 1 lb $1.50 



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

 sessing all the good qualities of that variety, but much larger 

 and a better keeper. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; 1 lb.... $1.50 



TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY-Celeriac. 



German, Sellerie. French, Celeri. 

 I oz. to 3,000 plants; % lb. to the acre. 



Although a few gardeners continue to cultivate this vegetable on the old 

 plan, the only one practiced years ago, its cultivation has undergone a great 

 reformation of late years. 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 intended to mature. On the surface 

 of the ground, thoroughly enriched and 

 cultivated beforehand, lay out lines three 

 feet apart, not trenches, as was formerly 

 the custom. Set the plants in these rows, 

 about 5 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 be- 

 gin, and continue as long as the plants 

 grow, to bleach the stems and render them 

 crisp. 

 White Plume (Perfected) — A very superior 



stock. 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. 5c; oz. 20c; 



% lb. 60c; 1 lb $2.00 



Golden Self-Blanching (Paris Golden Yel- 

 low) — Lik« the White Plume, this Cel- 

 ery requires very little earthing up, and 



in many other respects it is similar to 



that favorite sort, differing, however, in 



color, which is yellowish, the heart be- 

 ing large and solid and of a beautiful 



golden hue. The Seed we offer of this 



variety is the originator's best French 



grown stock. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; % lb. 



$1.00; 1 lb $3.50 



Perfection Heart-well — An excellent, large, 



solid-growing variety of creamy white 



color, one of the very best market sorts
