— continued 



180 Columbia 



An Old Favorite Recommended For 

 Fall Or Early Winter Use (115 days) 



Broad thick stalks which are solid, almost round, 

 and of excellent quality. Of attractive appearance 

 with beautiful light green foliage and well blanched 

 stalks. Because the plants are of medium height 

 they are easy to blanch. Pkt. 5c ; Vi oz. 25c; 

 oz. 40c; Vi'lb. $1.20; Vi lb. $2.20; lb. $4.00; 

 2 lbs. $7.45; 5 lbs. $18.00; 10 lbs. $34.00. 



182 Giant Pascal 

 or Winter King 



The Largest Ribbed Celery (140 days) 



The most outstanding feature of this splendid win- 

 ter celery is its enormous productiveness. Yet it 

 compares very favorably in tenderness, crispness, 

 as well as in sweet nutty flavor with Golden Self 

 Blanching from which it was originated. The stalks 

 grow about 2 ft. high. They are thick, solid, en- 

 tirely stringless, and as brittle as glass. When prop- 

 erly blanched the stalks are a beautiful yellow- 

 ish white. They are very broad and quite promi- 

 nently ribbed without, however, showing any signs 

 of fiber or strings. Whether grown for home use or 

 market, Giant Pascal is bound to give entire satis- 

 faction. It is easy to grow, reasonably quick in 

 blanching, and can be kept throughout the winter 

 if properly stored. Pkt. 10c; V 2 oz. 20c; oz. 30c; 

 Vi lb. 85c; Vi lb. SI .25; lb. $2.25; 2 lbs. $4.20; 

 5 lbs. $10.10; 10 lbs. $19.10. 



189 Maule's American 

 Yellow 



\ Favorite Self- Blanching Variety for 

 Both Home and Market (110 days) 



An early self-blanching variety similar in many 

 ways to our special French-grown strain of Golden 

 Self-Blanching except that it has a larger stalk and, 

 therefore, fills a standard crate more quicklv. 

 Pkt. 5c;V 2 'oz. 25c ;oz. 40c; Vi lb. $1.25; Vi lb. S2.35; 

 lb. $4.25; 2 lbs. $7.90; 5 lbs. $19.10; 10 lbs.

194 Witloof Chicory • 



(150 days) This is also known as French Endive. 



Highly valued as a winter salad. The roots are 

 grown outdoors during the summer, and replanted 

 into boxes covered with sand to force the growth of 

 the tender crisp shoots indoors. It is easy to force 

 in any cellar or home near the heater or on the 

 radiator. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vi lb. 70c; Vi lb. $1.10; 

 lb. $1.85; 21bs. $3.40; 5 lbs. $8.15; 10 lbs. $14.80. 



193 R L oo™ Chicory 



(120 days) The roots are taken up in the fall, cut 

 into small pieces, dried, roasted, and ground. 

 Sometimes used as an adulterant for coffee, but if 

 used in small quantities it adds color and brings out 

 the flavor of the coffee. Does best in a moderately 

 rich, deeply prepared soil. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 

 Vi lb 60c; Vi lb. 85c; lb. $1.50; 2 lbs. $2.75; 

 5 lbs. $6.60; 10 lbs. S12.00.

Celeriac 



188 Turnip-Rooted Celery 



(120 days) Here is a vegetable which is entirely 

 too little appreciated by American cooks. The 

 plants form a thick edible root and require no hill- 

 ing. The flesh is pure white and tender. The flavor 

 is not unlike that of the blanching type of celery. 

 It may be either cooked and creamed or served 

 cold with vinegar as a salad. Its main use, however, 

 consists in adding flavor to soups and stews. Pkt. 

 10c; Vi oz. 20c; oz. 30c; Vi lb. 85c; Vi lb. $1.25; 

 lb. $2.25; 2 lbs. $4.20; 5 lbs. $10.10; 10 lbs. 

 $19.10. 



Collards 



201 True Georgia 



Used Exclusively for Greens (80 days) 



Splendid wholesome cabbage-like greens enjoying 

 great popularity in the South. The plants grow 

 2 to 3 ft. tall, forming a cluster of tender, waved 

 leaves at the end of a rather long stem. Deserves to 

 be grown more widely. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 

 25c; Vi lb. 35c; lb. 55c; 2 lbs. $1.00; 5 lbs. $2.20; 

 10 lbs. $4.10. 



Corn Salad 



203 Round Leaved (42 days) 



Some gardeners know this as Lamb's Lettuce. It 

 is a hardy plant, producing early in the spring an 

 abundance of rich green leaves which are excellent 

 for salads. Sometimes they are cooked like spinach. 

 Sow the seed early in the spring thinly in drills and 

 thin to stand 2 in. apart. For winter and early 

 spring sow during August and September. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 45c; Vi lb. 70c; lb. $1.15; 



2 lbs. $2.10; 5 lbs. $5.05; 10 lbs. $9.20. 



POP CORN 



CULTURE: Plant in hills or in blocks of several 

 rows after all danger of frost is over. 3 to 4 ft. be- 

 tween hills or rows is the usual distance. Leave 3 or 

 4 plants in each hill or by the row method let the 

 plants stand about a foot apart. A packet of seed 

 will give about 150 ft. of row. 4 lbs. are needed to 

 drill one acre. Every home garden should include 

 a good size patch of pop corn. 



234 Queen's Golden 



Golden Yellow Kernels (130 days) 



Handsome large ears of a beautiful rich golden yel- 

 low color, popping into extra large, fluffy white 

 balls measuring nearly one inch across. It is a re- 

 markably productive pop corn, bearing as many as 



3 to 4 ears on each stalk. Plant the seed early so 

 that the kernels will ripen fully before cold weather 

 sets in. They must be thoroughly dried before be- 

 ing used for popping. Pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; 

 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.05; 10 lbs. $1.85, 

 postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 lbs. S1.95; 25 lbs. $3.00; 

 50 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $10.00. 



235 Tom Thumbs 



(130 days) 



This variety is also called Japanese Hulless or 

 Dwarf Baby Rice. It is a heavy yielder with hand- 

 some ears closely set with pure white, rice-like kern- 

 els. The ears are nearly as broad as they are long. 

 They are free from hulls or shells. A tender de- 

 licious pop corn without any hard flinty substance. 

 Grows 5 ft. tall with 2 or 3 ears per plant. Pkt. 10c; 

 Vi lb. 25c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c; 5 lbs. $1.15; 10 lbs.

 25 lbs. $3.50; 50 lbs. $6.50; 100 lbs. S12.00. 



237 Monarch White Rice 



(140 days) Everybody knows this old favorite 

 which has been grown for generations because it is 

 one of the best for home use and commercial pur- 

 poses. Our strain is an improvement of the older 

 type with larger ears containing considerably more 

 kernels. Three ears per plant is not unusual. The 

 white grains are sharply pointed but pop into 

 fluffy round white balls. Pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 

 30c; 2 lbs. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.05; 10 lbs. $1.85; post-
