WINTER QUEEN CELERY 



The most popular as a late keeper. Since our intro- 

 duction of this very valuable new celery seven years ago, 

 it has become the most popular of all as 11 late winter keeper, 

 frequently being seen and selling at high prices in the 

 month of May, after all other celeries are done. It is, with- 

 out doubt, the most valuable variety of celery for winter and 

 spring use ever introduced, and excels the celebrated 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 other sorts. 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. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; \i lb., 81.00; 

 lb., £3.50.

Paris Golden Self-Blanching Celery 



Seed Grown in France by the Originator 



While we have annually had contracts with the origina- 

 tor of this grand celery in France, this is the first season we 

 have been able to secure a good supply from this source. 

 Market gardeners generally prefer the French-grown seed 

 when obtainable. It is very early ; entirely self-blanching, 

 with large, beautiful golden yellow heart; very crisp, solid, 

 and nutty. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; % lb., 81.15 ; lb., 84.00.
