 most successful market gardeners of this city. The strain is 

 earlier than either the well-known Danvers or Long Orange

 thicker than a lead pencil, shading to a deep orange red 

 when fully grown. The root is jierfeelty smooth from the 

 shoulder to the extreme tip, and entirely devoid of side root- 

 lets ill att stages of growth. It grows -v\' jthout any neck -what- 

 ever; the top is short, and this, together -with its extreme 

 earliness, admirably fits it for early use. 



We pronounce it the ideai. cakeot, either for early or 

 late use, being of uniformly large size, enormously pro- 

 ductive, the best of keepers, and highly nutritious for stock

E.\RLY ARLINGTON. This ne-w celery comes from 

 the same source as the .Arlington Tennis Bail Lettuce, de- 

 scribed on another page. It is an improved selection of the 

 well-known Boston Market Celery, made by an Arlington 

 market gardener. It has recei\e& first prize in both the regu- 

 lar and special premiums offered by the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society. It is very early, coming in quite three -weeks 

 in advance of the Boston Market; and its superiority over 

 that variety is in the fact that it is earlier, of larger size, and 

 more vigorous growth and bleaches easilv and more quickly. 

 Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c; 34 lb., 75c.; lb., S2.50. 





WHITE PLUME CELERY. 



WHITE PLUSJE. Each year adds to the popularily 

 and value of this variety. Like our Golden Self-Blanching. 

 it requires very little earthing up to blanch it, and although 

 in keeping qualities it is not equal to our Golden Self- 

 Blanching, yet as a celery for fall and early winter use, it is 

 unsurpassed. Ourstrainof this variety is closely selected each 

 year, and will be found entirely free from green celery, so 

 prevalent in much of this seed sold. JIarket gardeners who 

 purchased from us the past six years are unanimous in pro- 

 nouncing our improved White Phune the best and purest 

 thev can get. Pkt., 10c; oz., .30c; 3.i lb., 80c; lb., S2.75; 2 lbs.,

'"I have taken many first prizes in England for celery, 

 but never had any so perfect as from your seed. Twelve, 

 stalks of your White Plume weighed over 12 pounds." — Wm. 

 Blackhitest, Jamestown, X.D. 



" Your White Plume Celery is the finest strain I have ever 

 grown or seen." — .^ethcr H. Clark, North Hanibal, N. V.
