KiLAMAZOO HALF DWARF * 



« BROAD RIBBED CELERY, 



This new variety, whicli we last season offered for ttie first 

 time, originated with a prominent celery grower at Kalama 

 zoo, Michigan, and is pronounced by what few gardeners who 

 have been fortunate enough to obtain the seed : " The most 

 perfect type of Half Dwarf White Celery known." 



It is very distinct and handsome, of a beautiful cream 

 white color throughout, attains a very large size, of quick 

 growth, stiff and close habit (as shown in our illustration) is 

 remarkably solid, crisp eating and fine flavored. Ribs are 

 very broad, thickly and closely set, while by reason of its 

 neat growth and showy appearance, it is a specially valuable 

 variety for market. It is also a first-class keeper, remaining 

 fit for use as long as the Golden Dwarf and oth r good keeping 

 sorts. For the use of hotels, restaurants and' other large 

 establishments it is superior to most other kinds, there scarceU 

 being any waste in dressing it for the table. It has such a 

 distinctive appearance in growth as to cause almost ever^ 

 one seeing it to exclaim : " What celery is that? " Long rows 

 of it being as level and even as though each plant had been 

 shaped in the same mould. It is sure to take the lead, and 

 market gardeners and private planters will make no mistake 

 in planting it largely. Oz., S5c.; Klt>-.*100; lb.,«3..50; 2 lbs

This new variety, which we first introduced to the 

 American public in 1883, we can recommend to our friends 

 and customers with great confidence. It is pronounced by 

 all our market garden patrons who have grown it on our 

 recommendation, the very best celery in cultivatiofi. Unlike 

 other self-blanching varieties, it is a good keeper. Our illus- 

 tration above will give some idea of its handsome form and 

 even growth, reaching a very large size, but very stocky and 

 robust. The stalks grow vigorously, with large ribs, very 

 thickly and closely set. It is entirely self blanching, without 

 any banking up or covering whatever, even the outer ribs 

 assuming a yellowish-white color of a very fresh and pleasing 

 appearance The heart is of a beautiful golden yelloiu color 

 very laige, crisp and solid and unsurpassed in delicious
