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 

 crisp. Pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; J4 lb., $1.25; lb., $4.75. 



NEW COLUMBIA CELERY 



A great acquisition in earliness, showy form and 

 superior quality. Market gardeners in all sections where 

 grown say if 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; oz., 50c; X lb., $1.35; lb., $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. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1.25; X lb., $4.75. 



American Grown Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing. Grown by ourselves here from French 

 seed. Pkt., 15c; oz., 65c; yi lb., $1.75; lb., 

 $6.50. 



Silver Self-Blanching. Similar in habit to 

 Golden Self-Blanching, but like White Plume in 

 color, very early, full solid hearts, fine flavor, 

 stalks pure white. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; r 4 lb., 

 85c; lb., $3.00. 



NEW COLUMBIA CELERY — BEST OF KEEPERS.
