New Long-Keeping Celery 
JOHNSON’S MANHATTAN 
This is no doubt the finest type of late Winter keeping 
celery ever offered, even surpassing in this respect our 
famous Winter Queen Celery. Our attention was first 
called to it in New York markets four years ago, and upon 
investigation we learned the name of the grower on Long 
Island and secured from him, at high cost, a few ounces 
of seed, from which our present supply is grown. It is 
the heaviest green celery, full hearted, very solid and 
exisp. Pkp.,715c::. oz., 50c.; % Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.75. 
NEW COLUMBIA CELERY 
A great acquisition in earliness, showy form and 
superior quality. Market gardeners in all sections where 
grown Say it outsells all others. 
The plant is of medium height, but very stocky and 
heavy. Stalks are thick, resembling in shape those of 
Giant Pascal. The color has in it more of the rich yellow 
tint of Paris Golden Self-Blanching. The foliage is of a 
distinctly light shade of green, with a tinge of yellow. In 
season it follows in close succession Golden Self-Blanching. 
Pkt, 20c:; o22,-50c:;. 24 Ib., $1,535; tb., $5.00. 
Paris Golden 
Self-Blanching Celery 
This most valuable of all celeries, for 
either the amateur or market gardener, is 
grown and selected for us by the originator 
in France as Johnson’s XXX Strain. It is 
remarkably early, entirely self-blanching, with 
large, beautiful golden yellow heart, very crisp, 
solid and nutty. A fact that speaks for itself 
is that we received orders for more of the seed 
last season than we could grow, from some 
of the largest celery growers in the United 
States, men who make celery practically their 
only crop, and who, therefore, can afford to 
take no chances on their most important crop. 
Crop of seed very short.
