JOHNSON S MANHATTAN — TRIMMED FOR MARKET. 



New Long-Keeping Celery 



JOHNSON'S MANHATTAN 



This is no doubt the finest type of late winter 

 keeping celery ever offered, even surpassing in this 

 respect our famous Winter Queen Celery. Our at- 

 tention was first called to it in New York markets 

 three years ago, and upon investigation we learned 

 the name of the grower on Long Island and secured 

 from him, at high cost, a few ounces of seed, from 

 which our present supply is grown. It is the 

 heaviest green celery, full hearted, very solid and 

 crisp. Pkt., 15c; oz.,40c; K lb., $1.25; lb., $4.75. 



What a Large Michigan Celery Grower Says : 



H. L. Harris, Newberry, Mich., writes: — "All 

 the celery seed purchased from you gave finest re- 

 sults, especially the 'New Columbia,' which I con- 

 sider a wonderful variety for market and keeping." 



FROM A PROMINENT OHIO CELERY GROWER 



J. E. Uebelhart, Canton, Ohio, writes: — "Johnson's Man- 

 hattan and your New Columbia Celery are the best Fall and 

 Winter celery I have grown in twenty years; both are of very 

 stocky growth, have a fine flavor, and if bleached properly 

 look as pretty as a picture. Thanks for the fine quality of 

 all seed I received from you." 



FROM AN EXPERT CELERY GROWER 



Alcide Reichenbach, A.M., Collegeville, Pa., writes: — " I 

 must congratulate you on the introduction of Silver Self- 

 Blanching and New Columbia Celeries. The latter is espe- 

 cially valuable for keeping qualities, the former for earliness." 



SILVER SELF-BLANCHING 



A combination of the two most widely known 

 celeries, being similar in habit of growth to Golden 

 Self-Blanching, and like White Plume in color of 

 foliage. It is a rapid grower and requires no bank- 

 ing other than placing boards on each side of the 

 plants. The heart is full and solid, and both it and 

 the inner stalks are pure white. The flavor is 

 delicious and will please the most critical. 



Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.75. 



NEW COLUMBIA CELERY 



A great acquisition in earliness, showy form 

 and superior quality. Market gardeners in all 

 sections where grown say it outsells all others. 



The plant is of medium height, but very stocky 

 and heavy. Stalks are thick, resembling in shape 

 those of Giant Pascal. The color has in it more of 

 the rich yellow tint of Paris Golden Self-Blanching. 

 The foliage is of a distinctly light shade of green, 

 with a tinge of yellow. In season it follows in close 

 succession Golden Self-Blanching. 



Pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50; lb . $5.00 



NEW COLUMBIA CELERY BEST OF KEEPERS.
