Perfected White Plume. 



(XX Selected Strain.) 



his magnificent celery Is improving from year to 

 r under high culture and careful selection. It is a 

 ly beautiful type. No other celery naturally turns 

 Ite upon reaching maturity. All others require 

 nchlng with boards or with earth. The Golden 

 f-Blanching naturally turns yellow, but this one 

 ns white. Not only does the stem whiten, but the 

 f itself, especially every inner leaf, assumes the 

 ractive white color. This makes the White Plume 

 ery one of the most showy ornaments that can be 

 . upon the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner 

 le. As to succulence, crispness and quality, the 

 ■fected White Plume is all that can be desired.

C. G. DuMoed, Walton, N. Y.— Last year we used your seeiN 

 entirely, except a few radishes; and of 150 entries we took to 

 the Delaware Agricultural Fair (the largest fair in this sec- 

 tion) we received 112 flrst premiums and 33 seconds, making 

 almost a clean sweep. Most of the seconds were entered for 

 second premium. The competition was very sharp along 

 most lines. The judge spoke in particular of our turnips, 

 beets, carrots, as being the finest lot he had ever seen. We 

 cannot speak too highly of the Gradus Pea. Placed side by 

 side with the peas brought in by other gardeners, they would 

 bring from 2 to 3 cents per quart more and would be taken In 

 preference. 



H. H. Warmath, Humboldt, Tenn.— I have been using your 

 seeds for the past eight years, and cannnt praise them too 

 highly. Your Enormous and Success Tomatoes are the best I 

 ever raised. I sent a crate of Success Tomatoes to the Fair at 

 St. Louis, and got the premium. 



Geo. Jacob, Evart, Mich.— The seeds were the best. At our 

 County Fair we took flrst prize for our tomatoes, and might 

 have taken prizes on other things if we had brought them. 

 Your Earliest of All Tomatoes are a wonder, they bear so 

 heavy and are so large and sound; nothing like them ever 

 seen here before. 



■INK PLUME This Is one of the most beautiful 



1 best flavored of all the celeries. It is solid, crisp 

 1 nutty. Vigorous in growth and not likely to 

 t. It blanches with almost as little trouble as 

 lite Plume. Extremely popular for table decora- 

 as on account of Its beauty. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 

 ;ts.; Ki pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2..50. 



FElRIiE LE GRAND. — Very handsome and 



stocky, of close growing, upright habit, with a golden 



heart. The flavor Is sweet. The stalk is large in 



girth and heavy in weight, giving the bunches an 



exceedingly handsome appearance. It may be used 



early or late, as it blanches easily. An excellent 



winter keeper. Packet., 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 



\i pound, 75 cents; pound, 82.50. DWARF GOLDEN HEART. 



D1VARF GOLDEN HEART.— A reliable half dwarf sort quite similar to 

 Crawford's. It is a famous celery, a strong grower, and a good winter keeper. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; !4 pound, 60 cents; pound, 82.00. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL.— This choice celery partakes of the sweet, nutty flavor 

 of Golden Self-Blanching, of which it is an offspring. 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, thickness and succulence. I do not think the color of any celery is better 

 described by the word ivory than this one. It blanches easily and keeps well. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 14 pound, 76 cents, pound, $2 50
