195 Meisch's Easy-Blanching Celery 



This magnificent new variety was put out last year under the name of New Easy-Blanching 

 Celery. Unfortunately it has been put out under a number of names, which include Sanford, 

 Newark Market, Easy-Blanching, etc. The fact that it is an easy-blanching Celery and that Mr. 

 Sebastian Meisch, a North Jersey market-gardener, was responsible for its origination commer- 

 cially, made us definitely decide at the Varietal Conference held here that Meisch's Easy-Blanch- 

 ing should be the standard name. Meisch's Easy-Blanching will mature just after the Golden 

 Self-Blanching season is over. The general color is pale green, with a slight yellowish tinge, which 

 gives it a blanched appearance. The inner stalks, at a very early stage of growth, blanch to a rich 

 golden yellow, so that the usual banking work is eliminated. If stored properly, this variety will 

 keep all winter without difficulty. Its eating quality is ideal, for it is entirely free from stringiness, 

 very tender, and has an aromatic flavor. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., l /\\h. $1, lb. $4. 



198 Giant Pascal 



A good variety for fall and early winter use. Its good quality is shown in the fact that it is so 

 tender and crisp that it has to be handled with great care to prevent breaking. The stalk is of 

 medium length and blanches to a beautiful whitish yellow color. The stalks are very thick and 

 nearly round in the upper portions but are flattened out toward the base. A green-leaved variety 

 which was developed some years ago from Golden Self-Blanching, and is recommended either for 

 home or market use. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., V^h. $1, lb. $4. 



203 Columbia 



An early-maturing Celery resembling the Golden Self-Blanching in many particulars. The 

 round, thick stalks are of the Pascal shape. When properly blanched, the heart is a beautiful light 

 golden yellow. It will mature close after the Golden Self-Blanching and is recommended for all 

 purposes. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., ^Ib. $1, lb. $4. 



EvergTeen White Spine Cucumber 



CUCUMBER 



For Southern planting only, and under glass 



316 Windermoor Wonder Cucumber 



An improved strain of our old Perfection Hothouse. We offer Windermoor Wonder as the very 

 highest type of greenhouse forcing Cucumber 



Windermoor Wonder is a cross between English Telegraph and Davis Perfect. The outstand- 

 ing feature is its intense green color to the very tip. It has been known to yield at least 50 per 

 cent higher than Davis Perfect under the same area of glass, and because of its beautiful color, 

 which it holds after its maturity, it will outsell any others of its class, as it holds its fresh appear- 

 ance several days after picking. The seed-cavity is small, which is in its favor as a slicing variety. 

 It may be grown out-of-doors as well as under glass and, if climatic conditions are anywhere near 

 what they should be for its growth, stock of greenhouse quality can be grown, as its color will hold 

 in the hottest sun where others will fail. Reservations may be placed against the new crop at any 

 time. Delivery is anticipated for October 1. Pkt. 25 cts., oz. 75 cts., l/ 4 lb. $3, lb. $12.
