 Robust Habit. 



Slew Celery Winter Queen 



THE VERY BEST LATE KEEPER 



Our attention was first called to this remarkable 

 new celery three years ago in the market, where it 

 was selling at high prices in the month of May, 

 after all other celeries were done. After great per- 

 suasion and at high cost, we procured from the 

 grower a small quantity of seed, from which our 

 present supply is grown. It is, without doubt, the 

 most valuable variety of celery for winter and 

 spring use ever introduced, far excelling the cele- 

 brated Perle le Grand and Perfection Heartwell as 

 a late winter keeper. It is also much stouter, 

 thicker and heavier, with double the amount of 

 heart of any known celery. The plant is beautiful 

 in appearance, of close habit and compact growth, 

 and blanches to a beautiful cream white. Ribs 

 perfectly solid, crisp and of delicious nutty flavor. 



It is worthy of first place as a late celery, 

 and will keep longer than any other variety. 

 Grow Winter Queen once and vou will grow it 

 always. Pkt, 15c.; oz., 40c. ; \ lb.," $1.25 ; lb., $4.00.

 Svergreen Sweet Corn 



As is well known, the famous Evergreen Sweet 

 Corn originated over twenty years ago with Mr. 

 Stowell, a grower for Philadelplda markets ; but 

 while one of the best late varieties, no effort has 

 ever been made to improve it in earliness until 

 now. In the New Earfy Evergreen we have a 

 selection possessing every good quality of Stowell's 

 Evergreen and resembling it in every respect (see 

 photograph of marketable ears below, made for 

 comparison), except that the stalk is about one foot 

 shorter, more closely jointed, and that it will 

 mature for market in eighty days, or fully ten days 

 earlier. Could anything better be wished for? 

 And we can, without qualification, recommend it 

 as the very best sugar corn in existence. No other 

 sweet corn will find ready sale in a market which 

 is supplied with Early Evergreen, and the market 

 gardener who wishes to get the cream of the trade 

 or the home gai'dener who wants his table supplied 

 with the best should make their plantings of this 

 splendid novelty. Pkt., 10c. ; pt., 25c.; qt., 45c., 

 postpaid ; qt., 36c. ; 4 qts., 80c.; peck, $1.35 ; bush., 

 $5.00, by freight or express.
