One of the most beautiful and best flavored of all the celeries. It is 
solid, crisp and nutty. Vigorous in growth and not likely torust. It 
blanches with almost as little trouble as White Plume. It is a strong, 
healthy, compact grower, stems very solid and crisp; extra early and a 
long keeper, remaining, when properly banked or trenched, in perfect 
condition until late spring. Pink Plume is a self-blanching variety 
in same sense that White Plume and American Yellow are. Extremely 
popular for table decorations on account of its beauty and nutty flavor. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 50 cts.; 14 pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00. 
2 Giant Pascal or Winter King 
This choice celery has the sweet, nutty flavor 2: Golden Self-Blanch- 
ing, of which it is an offspring. The stalks ar- about two feet high; 
thick, solid and stringless, and almost as brittle a. zlass; fewer in num- 
ber than in ordinary kinds of celery, but making 1.11 weight by reason 
of width, thickness and succulence. It blanches easily and keeps well. 
An elegant winter keeper for home or market.

is Winter Queen 
Probably the most desir- Dy PZ 
able winter celery ever intro- ) 
duced, keeping until March, 
April and even May if de- 
‘sired. It is'short, stout, 
thick and heavy, with dou- 
ble the amount of heart of 
any other celery, a habit of Aas 
growth which gives it truly , 
remarkable value. The fla- 
vor is sweet, nutty and deli- 
cious, leaving nothing to be 
desired. It bunches up 
handsomely, and presents 
an attractive appearance on | 
the market stall. Winter 
Queen is a close compact | 
grower. It is a dwarf or 
half-dwarf celery of about | 
the same size as Golden |} 
Self-Blanching. It has, in 
fact, many of the traits of 
the Golden Self-Blanching, 
and a far better keeper. The 
leaves are light green, and 
blanch toa creamy white. It 
has become the most popu- | 
lar of all as a late winter | 
keeper, a favorite home or ; 
market sort. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
02., 23 Cts., 14 lbh., 75 cts.;

This magnificent celery-is improving from year to year 
under high culture and careful selection. 
tiful type. No other celery naturally turns white upon reach- 
ing maturity. All others require blanching with boards or 
with earth. The Golden Self-Blanching naturally turns yel- 
low, but this one turns white. Not only does the stem whiten, 
but the leaf itself, especially every inner leaf, assumes the 
/attractive white color. This makes the White Plume Celery 
one of the most showy ornaments that can be put upon the 
Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. As to succulence, 
crispness and quality, the Perfected White Plume is all that 
can be desired of a white celery.
