eELERY. 



I wish to call the attention of the readers of this book to the fact that the various varieties, 

 Beans, Cabbage, Lettuce, Melons, Onions, Turnips, etc., from pages 12 to 53, are alphabetically 

 arranged so that any one special sort can easily be found, as the list begins with Asparagus on 

 page 12 and ends with Turnips on page 53. Herbs and other Odds and Ends are on page 54, 



This IS undoubtedly the best cel- 

 er\ m culti\ ition to daj ,as has been 

 pro\ed by the demand the last t\vel\ e 

 veais It IS the celeij for the market gar- 

 dener as well as the homegio^\er The demand 

 for this magnificent 



variety has alwaj s 



^ been something remark 



able. Golden Self-Blanching, 



besides being remarkably stockj , 



and a -wonderfully strong grower, is 



^^ very heavy, perfectly solid, of a delicious •<^~". ' ^' ' 



:=- sweet flavor and with all these points is a '^T' 



wonderful keeper. One would think that these f^ 

 would be a sufl3cient number of good qualities, but to ' 

 all these is added tlie wonderful quality of self- 

 blanching to a very remarkable extent. Without 

 banking up or any covering to speak of, even the outer ribs become of a yel- 

 lowish white color, the heart being large, solid and of a beautiful golden yellow 

 Every celery grower should test Golden Self-Blanching this season without fail

NEW GIANT PASCAL,.— This has proved to be as great an addition to 

 our list, as the Golden Self-Blanching. As it is an ofl'spring of the latter, it pai 

 takes of its nutty flavor, and has no bitter taste at all. The height is about two 

 feet; stalks are very large, thick, solid and not stringy, and unusually tender 

 and crisp, snapping like glass, and when desired can be sliced lengthwise 

 When fully grown the outer stalks will average two inches in width, and aie 

 fully as thick as a man's finger, and is well shown in the illustration of a stalk 

 of Giant Pascal reduced in size. It blanches very easily, and after a very few 

 days earthing up, the outer stalks present a beautiful white appearance

 AVHITE PLUMB — Never has a celery been so well or 

 widely advertised. First introduced in 1884, and growing in 

 popularity with each succeeding season. As a variety that 

 needs no banking, it has no superior except in Golden Self 

 Blanching. Its beauty and distinct character make it at all 

 times an ornament for the table, but what recommends it es- 

 pecially above other sorts, is that it can be blanched without 

 high banking. It never whitens, however, in a young state, 

 but usually only begins to show its self-blanching character 

 when the growth begins in cool weather. The great trouble 

 in growing celery has been the labor entailed in blanching 

 it; but with the White Plume and Golden Self-Blanching 

 varieties, there Is no reason why every amateur gardener 

 should not grow this delicious vegetable. Packet, 10 cents; 

 ounce, 30 cents; \i pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00.
