JOHNSON & stokes' GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. 

 Pkt., 15c.; oz., SOc; % lb., S1.50; lb., $5.00. 



Stotes' Golden Self-Blanching Celery. 



This new variety, which we first introduced to the American ijul>lie in 

 1883, we can recommend to our friends and customers witli great confidence. 

 It is pronounced by all our market-garden patrons who have grown it on our 

 recommendation the wry fccs<ce/eri/mc»(Hi'a(io«. Unlike other self-blanching 

 varieties, it is aperfect keeper, fully equalling Golden Dwarf, Boston Market 

 and other varieties, which are celebrated for their keeping qualities. Our 

 illustration above will give someideaofits havdsome form a,nd 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, -withoat 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 yellow color, very large, crisp and solid, and 

 unsurpassed in delicious qiiulity and flavor. It is unequalled in striking appear- 

 ance on the table or market stall. Beware of mixed and spurious seed of this 

 variety. It is such a shy seeder that we have never yet been able to grow 

 enough seed to supply the demand. We are glad to state, however, that 

 this season we have been successful in growing the best supply we have ever had, and hope to he able to fill all orders at our 

 very reasonable prices. Each pacfca^re contains our trade label. Pkt., 15e.; oz., .TOc; ^ lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 



DTLKE'S MANY HEAKTU*. A grand new Philadel- 

 phia variety now offered for the first time. See Novelties, 

 page 15. Pkt., ISc; oz., 50c.; J^lb., $1.25; lb., $5.00. 



WHITE Pr.TTME. Each year adds to the popularity 

 and value of this variety. Many market gardeners now plant 

 their entire crop of it with the most profital>le results. Like 

 our Golden Self-Blanching, the heart and stalk is naturally 

 white, and consequently it requires very little earthing up to 

 blanch it, while most other varieiiesnecessitate high banking 

 with the hoe, which is both costly and troublesome. Its eat- 

 ing qualities are of the very best, and although its keeping 

 qualities are not equal to our Golden Self-Blanching, yet as a 

 celery for the fall and early winter use it is unsurpassed. 

 Pkt., lOc; oz., 35c.; J^ lb., $1.00; lb, $3.75. 



GOLDEN HEAKT D^WAKF. This distinct variety is 

 the ^nost popular variety among market gardeners. It is en- 

 tirely solid, an excellent keeper, and of fiy^emiity flavor. In size 

 andiiabitof 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 ench season 

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

 J^lb., 65c.; lb., $2.50.

CKATVTOKD'S HALF-DTTAKF; also known as 

 Henderson's Half-Dwarf. This variety is a great favorite. 

 When blanched, it is of a yellowish-white, making it very 

 ornamental ; entirely solid, possessing the nutty flavor 

 peculiar to the dwarf kinds, while it has much more vigor of 

 growth, surpassing most of the largergrowing sorts in weight.

 white, very solid, fiTie, .sweet flavor and a good keeper. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20e.; Jilb., 65c.; lb., $2.25. 



NEW FERN-LEAVED. A splendid, unusually large 

 and solid new variety. The leaves resemble those of the 

 fern-leaved parsley, rendering it the most ornamental variety 

 in cultivation. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; % lb., 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 hardier, more solid, and better keepers. The New 

 Rose is 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., 

 lOc; oz., 30c.; J^ lb., 80c.; lb., $3.00.
