KALAMAZOO BROAD RIBBED. This new variety, 
which we offered for the first time, two years since, origin- 
ated with a prominent celery grower at Kalamazoo, Mich., 
and is pronounced by all gardeners who have grown it, 
“The most perfect type of Dwarf White Celery known.” 
It is very distinct and handsome, ofa 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 isaspecially valuable 
variety for market. It is also a first-class keeper, remaining 
fit for use as long as the Golden Dwarf and other good keep- 
ing sorts. For the use of hotels, restaurants and other large 
establishments it is superior to most other kinds, there 
scarcely being any waste in dressing it for the table. It has 
such a distinctive appearance in growth as to cause almost 
every 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 has already taken 
the lead as a keeping celery for winter use, and market gar- 
deners and private planters will make no mistake in plant- 
ing it largely. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 35¢e.; 14 ]b., $1.00; Ib., $3.50. 
_ JOHNSON & STOKES’ GOLDEN SELF-BLANCH- 
ING. The best celery in cultivation for the family garden 
and for early market. See photograph and Specialties, pages 
10 and 11. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 45c.; 14 Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.50.

brated Golden Self-Blanching. See Novelties, page 13. Pkt., 
lde.; 02., 45¢.; 144 Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.50. 
WHITE PLUME. Each year adds to the popularity 
and value of this variety. Many market gardeners now 
plant their entire crop of it with the most profitable results. 
Like our Golden Self-Blanching, the heart and stalk is natur- 
ally white, and consequently it requires very little earthing 
up to blanch it, while most other varieties necessitate high 
banking with the hoe; which is both costly and troublesome. 
Its eating qualities are of the very best, and although its 
keeping qualities are not equal to our Golden Self-Blanching, 
yet as acelery for the fall and early winter use it is unsur- 
passed. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 35¢.; 14 Ib., $1.00; Ib., $3.50. 
_ GIANT WHITE SOLID. The best of the large grow- 
ing sorts and a favorite variety, solid, crispand tender. Pkt., 
5e.; oz., 20c.; 14 Ib., 60e.; Ib., $2.00. 
CRAWFORD’S HALF-DWARF, also known as 
Henderson's Half-Dwarf. This variety is a great favorite. 
When blanched, itis of a yellowish-white, making it very 
ornamental; entirely solid, possessing the nutty flavor pecu- 
liar to the dwarf kinds, while it has much more vigor 
of growth, surpassing most of the large-growing sorts in 
weight. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; 14 Ib., 60c.; 1b., $2.00.

and solid new variety. The leaves resemble those of the 
fern-leaved parsley, rendering it the most ornamental variety 
in cultivation. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25e.; 14 Ib., 75e. 
NEW ROSE. In England, the Pink or Red Celeries 
are much more largely used than the White varieties, and 
we have often wondered why they were not more grown in 
this country. They possess many advantages over the 
White, being hurdier, more solid and better keepers. The New 
Roseis the best of all the red varieties, combining all these 
desirable qualities, and is the most ornamental for the table, 
with its beautiful rose-colored heart and pink stems. Pkt., 
10c.; 02., 30c.; 14 1b., 80e.; 1b., $3.00.

a sweet corn; white grain and short ear. Pint, 20c.; qt., 35ce.; 
peck, 85c.; bush., $3.00. 
EARLY BONANZA. This valuable variety originated 
a few years since with an enterprising market gardener of 
this city, who astonished his brother gardeners by having in 
market, several weeks ahead of any of them, large, fine ears of 
sweet corn in great abundance, and for which he obtained 
almost fabulous prices, it having become quite celebrated for 
its fine quality, and was much sought after. He had always 
kept the seed in his own hands until we obtained of him seed 
enough to plant a few acres. It is undoubtedly as early as 
Minnesota, Crosby’s and other extra early varieties, while 
the ears are much larger. It is exceedingly prolific, bearing 
two or three good ears toa stalk. Pint, 25¢.; qt., 45¢.; peck, 
$1.25; bush., $4.00.
