IMPROVED DANVERS HALF-I-ONG. (See illustra- 

 tion.) Our pure American stock of this valuable variety is 

 preferred by many ganleners to any other sort. The top is 

 small, color of a rich shade of orange, shape very handsovie 

 and smooth; quality the very best. One highly valuable 

 feature of our strain is that it has its full color when quite 

 young, which enables it to be pulled sooner. It is equally 

 valuable to grow for feeding stock, being well adapted to all 

 soils, and will yield the greatest bidk witli the smallest 

 length of root of any other sort. Under good cultivation we 

 have known it to produce thirty tons to tne acre. Pkt., 5c.;

 city of St. Vallery, from whence it takes its name. It grows 

 to uniform large size, intermediate in shape between the 

 Half-long and Long Orange. The roots are straight and 

 smooth, broad at the top, measuring about two and three- 

 fourths inches across, with a length of about eleven inches.

 all recent introductions, either for family use or market. It

 extensively for feeding stock. Pkt., 5c.: oz., 10c. ; 3i lb., 20c.; 

 lb., 60e.; 5 lbs. and over, 55c. per lb., by freightor express. 



NICHOLS' LONG OBANGE. We procured this stock 

 some years since from Mr. Robert Nichols, one of the most 

 successful market gardeners of this city. The strain is much 

 earlier than the Long Orange as usually sold. The color is 

 of a deep golden orange when no thicker than an ordinary 

 lead-pencil, shading to a deep orange red when fully grown. 

 The root is perfectly smooth. It grows without any neck 

 whatever: the top is short, and this, together with ils ex- 

 treme earJiness, admirably fits it for early forcing. It is 

 also one of tlie best varieties for growing outside, on account 

 of its great productiveness and adaptability to all kinds of 

 soil. We are headquarters for seed of this now popular car- 

 rot; our stock comes direct from the originator. There is 

 much spurious seed sold under the same name. Pkt., 5e.;

Celery. 



One ounce will produce about twenty-five hundred plants 

 and sow about two hundred feet of row. 



NEW^ PINK PLUME. This new celery is practically 

 identical with White Plume, except that the stalks are suf- 

 fused with a daint.v pink, addingthe crispness and rich nutty 

 flavor for which the red celeries are noted. Every celery 

 grower in the land should trv the New Pink Plume. Pkt., 

 lOc; oz., 30c.; 34 lb., 90e.; lb., S3.25. 



NEW BOSE. In England the Pink or Red Celeries are 

 much more largely used tlian the White varieties, and we 

 have often wondered why they were not more grow n in this 

 country. They possess many advantages over the white, 

 being hardier, more solid and better keepers. The New i?ose is 

 the best of all the Red varieties, combining all these desirable 

 qualities, and is the most ornamental for the table, Tvith its 

 beautiful rose-colored heart and pink stems. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 

 25c.; 341b.. 60c.; lb.,S2.25. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL. This variety is a sport from 

 our Golden Self-Blanching Celery, which has become so pop- 

 ular within the last few years, thoronghly established by care- 

 ful selection. It partakes ol the best qualities of that variety, 

 but is somewhat larger and taller. It is of a fine, nutty flavor, 

 being entirely free from any bitter tasle. It grows about two 

 feet high: the stiilks are very broad, thick and crisp: the 

 width and thickness of these are distinctive features of this 

 variety. It bleaches with but slight "earthing up," and very 

 quickly, usually in five or six days. It is a splendid keeper. 

 AVe offer extra selected seed of our own growing. Pkt., 

 lOc; oz., 20e.; % lb., 60c.; lb., S2.00. 



GOLDEN HEART DW^ABF. This distinct variety is 

 a most popidar old variety among market gardeners. It is en- 

 tirely solid, an excellent keeper and of fiyie, nutty flavor. In size 

 and habit of growth it is much the same as Half-dwarf White 

 kinds, except when blanched, the heart, which is large and 

 full, is of a waxy, golden yellow, rendering it very striking 

 and showy for either market or private use. We have an un- 

 usually fine strain, and sell hundreds of pounds each season 

 to our most critical market gardeners. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; 

 % lb., 60c.; lb., 82.25 ; 2 lbs., Si.OO.
