No. 197. Pink Plume. Days to Maturity, 135. Listed hy 

 Henderson 1894. A standard English varietj'^, which we recommend above 

 all others as a home garden sort for winter storage. Without question it has 

 the finest flavor of any celery we offer, and during the several j'ears that we 

 have listed it under the name of Prize Pink, our customers have been 

 able to prove the truth of this statement. This celery is not a good shipper, 

 but where quality alone counts, and for the home garden or for nearbj' mar- 

 kets, we know of no other variety of celerj' that equals Pink Plume. The 

 stalks 'will blanch to almost white, but there is alwaj^s a trace of red, 

 making them highly attractive. They are long and slender, very brittle 

 and extremely to be desired. Pkt. 5p, oz. 40ji, }4 lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00. 



No. 200. Winter King. Days to Maturity, 150. An improve- 

 ment over the old Winter Queen, as introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 

 1897. It was listed as Winter King by Walter P. Stokes in 1914, this 

 strain probably originating with Mr. W. G. Fosgate, of Santa Clara, Cali- 

 fornia. As an early blanching green celerj-, ripening in good time for 

 Thanksgiving and the holiday markets, we know of no better sort. If 

 properly stored, it will keep well all during the winter. The plants are 

 characterized hy robust growth, tall stalks with high joints and rich, 

 light golden heart. The stock offered can be relied upon by the most 

 critical celery growers. Winter King is also recommended for home 

 garden purposes. Pkt. 5^, oz. 40(4, H lb. $1.25. lb. $4.00. 



PINK PLUME (X 1/3) 



No. 198. Giant Pascal. Days to Maturity, 145. 

 Introduced simultaneously in 1890 by Henderson, Maule 

 and Dreer. A standard fall and winter variety, but not 

 recommended for shipment, owing to its tender stalks. 

 This fact, however, recommends it highly as a home 

 garden variety, or as a sort which can be used to. advan- 

 tage in short shipments. The stalk is of mediimi length, 

 and blanches to a beautiful creamj' white color, very thick 

 and nearly round at the top but flattened toward the base.

CELERIAC GIANT PRAGUE (x 1/2) 



GIANT PASCAL 



No. 204. Celeriac. Giant Prague. Days to Maturity, 140. 

 Turnip-Rooted Celery has been known in the United States for 

 over one hundred years, and the variety Giant Prague is 

 a very old one, Jolinson & Stokes ha\ang listed it prior 

 to 1885. The roots are globular in shape, comparatiA^ely 

 smooth and of the best quality, averaging about 

 two and one-half inches in diameter. Celeriac 

 is a most desirable vegetable, and deserves wider 

 recognition by the planters, home garden as well 

 as commercial. It should receive about the same 

 culture as celery, being planted in rows two feet 

 apart and about six inches apart in the row. 

 When the roots attain a size of from two to two 

 and one-half inches in diameter, they are ready 

 for use. Giant Prague will be found a good 

 keeper if properly packed under ground or in a 

 dry cellar. Pkt. 5i, oz. 40^, M lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00.
