MEISCH'S EASY-BLAINCHIINQ 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 commercially, made 

 us definitely decide at the Varietal Conference held here that 

 Meisch's Easy-Blanching 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 appear- 

 ance. The inner stalks, at a very early stage of growth, blanch 

 to a rich golden yellow, so that the usual banking work is elim- 

 inated. If stored properly, this variety will keep all winter with- 

 out difficulty. Its eating quality is ideal, for it is entirely free 

 from stringiness, very tender, and has an aromatic flavor. Pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. $1.50, y^h. $5, lb. $20, postpaid. 



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. 30 cts., y/^\>. $1, lb. $3.50, postpaid. 



200 Winter King 



A late green Celery particularly well adapted to muck-land. 

 It is a quick grower and will blanch in ample time for the Thanks- 

 giving and Christmas markets. Its growth is rather short; stalks 

 heavy and robust with joints well up on the outer leaves, thus 

 making a very attractive variety for the market. It is absolutely 

 free of pithy, stringy stalks, and is of splendid quality. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., Vilb. $1.25, lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



203 Columbia 



An early-maturing Celery resembling the Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing 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-Blanch- 

 ing and is recommended for all purposes. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., 

 Vilb. $1.25, lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



Meisch's Easy-Blanching Celery 



208 Sutton's Prize Pink 



A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VARIETY FOR THE HOME-GARDEN 



We cannot say too much for the quality of this splendid English Celery. We believe from our trials that it is the finest-flavored 

 of any of the red Celeries. Without any hesitation, we would say that it is the most delicious in flavor of any Celery we ever had 

 on our table. Sutton's Prize Pink grows to a medium height and is blanched without serious difficulty. Where market-gardeners 

 have a private trade, where quality counts above everything else, this Celery will make a bigger hit than anything they could pos- 

 sibly do for their constituents. The slightly tinted stalks make a very attractive appearance when served. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., 

 y4lb. $1.25, lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



CELERIAC 



209 Giant Prague 



This variety is the most popular among American Celeriac-growers. The roots, globular in shape, are comparatively smooth, 

 and we consider it the most satisfactory sort to be had. Celeriac is used in salads or boiled the same as carrots or parsnips. It is a 

 high-class vegetable and deserves much wider recognition by all classes of growers. It should receive about the same treatment as 

 celery. Plant in rows 2 feet apart and 6 inches apart in the row. Roots should be used when about 2 inches in diameter. Giant 

 Prague will be found a good keeper if properly packed under ground or in a dry cellar. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., V41b. $1, 

 lb. $3.50, postpaid.
