Bolgiano's "New Victory" Celery 



The Very Best Winter Celery. 

 81. An excellent winter Celery. We have grown this seed in America for several years and find 

 by careful experiments it loses some of its solidity; while seed we have grown in France remains 

 as solid as the finest stock of French Golden Self-Blanching Celery. As a result we have grown 

 our entire supply for this season in France and we can recommend it to you as the most solid and 

 most profitable winter celery. Our French grower, carefully selects by hand each individual plant 

 in transplanting and only the absolutely solid plants are retained, the rest are thrown away. Again 

 when he puts the full grown plants in Kilns for Winter, each individual plant is gone over and 

 only the absolutely solid are put in the Kilns. Again in the Spring before putting the plants in 

 the bed where the celery is to go to seed only the absolutely solid plants are used. We are sure 

 our stock of French Grown "New Victory" Celery is one of the Best Winter Celeries on Earth. It 

 has a great amount of heart, is heavier, stouter, and thicker than many of its rivals. It is the 

 most economical Celery yet introduced, every particle being solid, crisp, and of a delicious flavor. 

 Its beautiful, large, golden heart and compact growth make an ornament hard to surpass. It is a 

 remarkable keeper, maintaining its firmness as late as May. Critical market gardeners pronounce 

 it to be of the finest quality, best keeperand most salable Celery thev have ever raised. It is ready 

 for market by December. Pkt. 10c. % Oz. 20c. Oz. 35c. K Lb. $1.00. % Lb. $2.00. Lb. $3 50.
