CELERY- Continued. 



WAJjXVIAZOO broad ribbed. This miisnifioent 

 New Halt-Dwarf Celery originated with a prominent celery 

 grower atKalamazoo.Mich. It is very distinct and handsome, 

 of a beautiful cream white color throughout, attains a very 

 large size, of quick growth, stiflf and close habit, remarkably 

 solid 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 

 Ooldeii Dwarf and other good keeping sorts. 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. Pkt., 10c.; oz.,25c.; J4 lt>., 60c.; 

 lb., $2.25. 



GIANX WHITE SOtlD. The best of the large grow- 

 ing sorts and a favorite variety, solid, crisp and tender. Pkt., 

 5c; oz., 20c.; ^ lb., 60c.; lb., 82.00. 



CHICAGO GIANT GOtDEN HEART. This new sort 

 is a selection made by a Chicago gardener from Dwarf Golden 

 Heart. It is grown extensively around Chicago, growing 

 much taller than ils parent, with very broad stalks, very solid 

 and a fine winter keeper. We recommend it higlily. Pkt., 

 lOc; oz., 25c.; % lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50. 



CRAWFORD'S HALF-DWAKF, also known asfleii- 

 <ierson's Half-dwarf. This variety is a great favorite. When 

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

 mental; entirely solid, possessing the nutty flavor peculiar 

 to the dwarf kinds, while it hasmuch more vigorof growth, 

 surpa-ssing most of the large growing sorts in weight. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 20c.; ^Ib., 60e.; lb., $2.00. 



BOSTON MARKET, A bushv, white, solid, fine-flavored 

 «elery. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 60c.; lb., $2.C0. 



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 bestof all the Red varieties, combining all thesedesirable 

 •qualities, and is the most ornamental for the table, with its 

 !ieautiful rose-colored heart and pink stems. Pkt., lOc; oz., 

 *-'oc.; M lb., 60c.; lb., $2.25.

THREE AVERAGE EARS, BURLINGTON HYBRID,)^ NATURAL SIZE. 



BURLINGTON HYBRID. This variety has been 

 grown for several years with great profit by a few truckers 

 of Burlington County, N. J. It has been adopted by a large 

 number of our own patrons, on our recommendation, many 

 of whom have written us that it gives them entire control of 

 the early markets, proving extremely profitable. Itisacross 

 between Adams' Extra Early and a large-eared, productive 

 variety of sugar corn. Its great market value can be readily 

 seen from the fact that it i« as early a« the Adams', with an 

 ear fully as large as Stowell's Evergreen, and more pro- 

 ductive than either, producing equal to the mof^t prolific 

 field corn, it having frequently produced over one hundred 

 bushels to the acre ^grown for a field crop. Although not 

 legitimately a sugar' corn, yet the husks, blades and ear in 

 a green state exactly resemble the sugar varieties, and it 

 sells readily in market as a sweet or sugar corn. It is, how- 

 ever, of much better eating quality than the Adams'. When 

 dry the grain is smooth and of a creamy-white color. The 

 stalks gro\v to a height of about five feet and very compact, 

 admitting of closer planting than any other variety; the 

 ears begin to set low down and are borne three to four to a 

 stalk. Pkt., lOc; pint, 20c.; qt., 40c., post-paid; qt., 25c.; 

 peck. $1.00; bush., $3.50, by freight. 



THE CORY will produce good ears for boiling in fifly- 

 two days from planting. It has a larger kernel than the 

 Marhlehead and is quite distinct, being nearly whiteiii color. 

 Our stock comes directly from Mr. Jos. Cory, the originator. 

 Pint. 20c.; qt., a5c., post-paid; peek, 90c., bush., $.3.25. 



FIRST OF ALL. This new variety is a selection from 

 the Cory, coming in a few days ahead of this famous sort. 

 The ears are about the same size as Cory, a little lighter in 

 color. It cannot fail to prove valuable for early market. 

 Pkt., 10c ; pint, 20c.; qt.. a5e.; peck, 90c.: bush., $.3.25. 



STABLER'S PEDIGREE EXTRA EARLY. A popu- 

 lar variety with Philadelphia Jjardener-s, noted for its earli- 

 ness. Pint, 20c.; qt., 35c.; peck, 90c.; bush., $3.25.
