GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING.—T 
ery in cultivation to-day, all things considered, and it 
certainly is the most popular. It gives the largest return 
for the least labor. In quality it ranks with the highest. 
It is in equal favor with the amateur and the market 
gardener, a fact which testifies alike to its excellence 
and to its profitableness. It is of dwarf or half dwarf 
habit, growing about 18 or 20 inches high, wonderfully 
stocky, very heavy, perfectly solid, of delicious flavor 
and a good keeper. Added to these fine points is its great 
| distinctive virtue of being almost literally self-blanching. 
It requires the same early cultural treatment as other 
sorts of celery, up to and including handling, except that 
the rows may be set closer together, as it will need no 
banking. The handling should be thoroughly and care- 




































The celery will be fit for table or market ina ‘| 
short time after handling and lightly hilling, and no variety is more satisfactory for both home and mar- | 
ket. I have an admirable strain of this best of celeries. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 30 cts.; 14 1b., $1.00; lb., $3.00. 
CRAWFORD’S HALF DWARF.—This old reliable standard sort reaches a height of about 20 inches. 
The blanched stalks are yellowish white in color and of excellent flavor, being sweet and nutty, and very 
solid. The variety is a vigorous grower and a good winter keeper. Pkt., 5c.; 0z., 20c.; 14 1b., 60c.; 1b., $2.00. 
NEW GIANT PASCAL.—In one sense this has proved as great an addition to my list as the Golden 
Self-Blanching itself, of which it is an offspring. I refer to the very high quality of the Giant Pascal, which 
has made it celebrated wherever quality is a prime consideration. It partakes of the sweet, nutty flavor of 
the Golden Self-Blanching, and though the stalks are very large in diameter, they have no bitter taste 
whatever. The height is about two feet. The stalks are thick, solid and stringless, and almost as brittle as 
glass; fewer in number than in ordinary kinds of celery, but making full weight by reason of width, thick- 
ness and succulence. 1 donot think the color of any celery is better described by the word ivory than this 
one. It blanches easily and keeps well. Packet, 5 cents: ounce, 20 cents, '4 pound, 6U cents; pound, $2.00.
