Winter Queen Celery 
Popular Late Celery 
Since the introduction of this very valuable 
celery seven years ago, it has become the most 
popular of allas a late winter keeper, frequently 
being seen and selling at high prices in the month 
of May, after all other celeries are done. It is 
much stouter, thicker and heavier; of stocky, robust 
habit, with double the amount of heart of other 
sorts. Ribs blanch to a creamy white, solid, 
crisp and of nutty flavor. (See photograph.) Pkt., 
10c.; 0z., 25c.; 4 lb., 70c.; Ib., $2.50.
