ery in cultivation to-day, as has been 
proved by the demand the last twelve 
years. It isthe celery for the market gar- 
dener as well as the home grower. The demand 
for this magnificent variety has always been some- 
thing remarkable. Last year was as bad as the year 
before. Almost every order seemed to want Golden Self- 
Blanching until I had sold almost every grain of seed on hand. 
Golden Self-Blanching, besides 
being remarkably stocky, and a won- 
derfully strong grower, is very heavy, per- 
fectly solid, of a delicious sweet flavor, and 
with all these points is a wonderful keeper. One 
would think that these would be a sufficient num- 
/ é ber of good qualities, but to all these is added the 
== bed acted) aon SSS wonderful quality of self-blanching to a very re- 
¢markable extent. Without banking up, or any covering to speak of, even the outer ribs become of a yellowish 
‘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. Asa variety that needs no banking, it is reeommended to all. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 14-pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00. ee N , 
NEW GIANT PASCAL.—This new celery which I took pleasure in introducing to my customers in 1890 for 
‘the first time, has proved to be as great an addition to our list of varieties of this delicious vegetable as the Gold- 
en Self-Blanching. As it is an offspring of the latter, it partakes of its nutty flavor, and has no bitter taste at all; 
while being a wonderful keeper, it can be sold and shipped after Golden Self-Blanching is sold out. The height 
ds about two feet ; stalks are very large, thick, solid and not stringy. In fact, it is the largest celery ever known 
as to width of stalks. It is the celery for January and February use, as well as most excellent for shipping pur- 
poses, as it keeps crisp very long without flagging. The stalks are 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 are 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 beau- 
¢tiful white appearance. Even without blanching, while the outer stalks are green, the heart will be a rich, 
dright yellow. Unlike most other celeries it never’ becomes watery, and can be eaten when quite small. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 4% pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.25. ‘ 
PERFECTION HARTWELL.—The best flavored, most crisp and tender, of the white varieties. The 
plants are a little taller than Crawford’s Half Dwarf and somewhat later in maturing. The stalks are medium 
size, round, very solid, crisp and tender, with a magnificent, large, golden yellow heart, of an exceedingly fine 
and nutty flavor. It is one of the largest and finest celeries for Winter use, and one of the most profitable varie- 
ties to grow. Very popular in New York and Philadelphia markets on account of its superior keeping quali- 
ties. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 144-pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00. ; ; 
NEW ROSE.—The rose or red celeries are increasing rapidly in popularity. In quality they are particu- 
larly fine, while they are better keepers than either the yellow or white sorts. This variety surpasses all other 
qed celeries in handsome appearance and superior flavor; atthe same time it makes a beautiful ornament for 
‘the dinner table, heart and stems being shaded to a fine rose color. PkKt., 10 cts.; 0Z., 25 cts.; 141b., 75cts.; lb., $2.50. 
GIANT GOLDEN HEART.—As its name implies, this va- 
riety has been produced by careful selection and high culture from 
the Dwarf Golden Heart, by one of the most celebrated growers in 
the neighborhood of Chicago. It is claimed to be the best of all 
for keeping through the Winter; and in quality and appearance, 
@s well as size, leaves nothing to be desired. Itis of delicious fla- 
vor, and perfectly solid. One of the best celeries for the market 
gardener. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; 14 1b., $1.00; 1b., $3.00.
