Culture. Sow in coldframe early, transplant once in frame, and 

 set in trenches outdoors, early in July in the North, later in the 

 South. For main crop, start plants in open ground. Hill up to blanch.

 STOKES' NOFAXH.T GIANT SELF-BLANCHING. Earlier and 



larger than White Plume; as large as Golden Self-blanching. 



Solid and of excellent flavor. Grows 6 to 8 inches above White 



Plume. It originated in a block of Giant Pascal and has the Pascal 



size and quality, but is self-blanching. Pkt. 10 cts., J^oz- 25 cts.,

Yottr Myers' Quick-growing White Plume I found to be the finest I evtr 



grew. Those who bought plants tell me it was the finest White Plume Celery 

 they ever grew. Miles Rough, Plainfield, N. J. 



STOKES' PARIS GOLDEN SELF- ■^SMTcHET^TaTTxTT 



BLANCHING. This is the most KC.^ I/\L I Y[ 



valuable of all Celeries for either the amateur or for market- 

 gardeners. All other strains have proven pithy and unreliable. 

 I sell only French-grown seed of this specialty, in which great care 

 is given to the selection of the rich color and solid shape. Stokes' 

 Paris Golden Self-blanching Celery is, I believe, the very finest 

 that is offered in the trade. It is very early, entirely self-blanching, 

 crisp, solid and nutty, with large, beautiful golden-yellow hearts. 

 The French crop is very short again this year, so prices are 

 higher than usual. Pkt. 20 cts., J-^oz. $1.10, oz. $2, ^Ih. $6.50. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING, American - grown seed. Pkt. 

 15 cts., 3^oz. 6s cts., oz. I1.2S, Ji'lb. S3. so, lb. S12. 



SILVER SELF-BLANCHING. This combines the good qualities 

 of Golden Self-blanching and White Plume, with the robust, com- 

 pact habit, immense, solid heart and crispness of the Golden Self- 

 blanching, and the beautiful silvery foliage of the White Plume. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., J^lb. $1.25, lb. $4. 



ENGLISH RED CELERY. The English use the red and pink sorts 

 very largely, as they excel in crispness, fine nutty flavor, and, for 

 the table, are Celery perfection. I want all of my customers to 

 try them, as their quality appeals to everyone. The two sorts offered 

 below are the very best to be obtained.
