Silver Self-blanching Celery 



The most popular Celeries are the Golden Self- 

 blanching and the White Plume, and this grand new- 

 Silver Self-blanching Celery combines in one variety 

 the essential qualities of these two varieties; in short, 

 it has the robust, sturdy, compact habit, with the 

 immense solid heart, crisp, brittle and tender qualities 

 of the Golden Self-blanching, together with the beauti- 

 ful Silver Self-blanching foliage of the White Plume. 

 This makes a great combination and I predict for the 

 Silver Self-blanching Celery a great future, and I 

 believe that, when it becomes known to the grower 

 for market, it will make one of the most popular 

 varieties of Celery ever introduced. Price, pkt. iscts.,

Whitloof Chicory 



A bushy, crisp, winter vegetable 

 which can be grown in every home. 

 Sometimes called French Endive. 

 This makes one of the most deli- 

 cious of all salads. It is also an 

 excellent dish boiled. The seed is 

 planted in May or June in the open 

 ground and in the fall the roots are 

 dug. The roots are then planted in 

 earth in a dark, cool place in the 

 cellar or under gjeenhouse bench. 

 Finely blanched crisp leaves are 

 then thrown out and when cut new 

 leaves form. The roots keep a long 

 time and may be planted so that a 

 fresh and delicious salad may be 

 had all winter long. Fancy fruit 

 and vegetable dealers have im- 

 ported this vegetable from France 

 on account of its delicious flavor. 

 It can, however, be grown with the 

 greatest ease as above. Price, pkt.

New Davis Perfect Cucumber 



SUver Self-blanching Celery 



The Davis Perfect Cucumber resembles a hothouse 

 Cucumber so closely that dealers cannot tell the dif- 

 fence, it being equally good for hothouse or outdoor 



culture. It is ideal in shape, rich, dark green color, uniform and regular in size. It is exceedingly tender and as a 

 slicing Cucumber for the table is unsurpassed. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from the stem end, and the 

 seeds that are contained in it, when in slicing condition, are so small and tender that they are almost unnoticed. 



Exceedingly productive. Price, pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 

 cts., %\b. 35 cts., lb. |i.2o. 



New Davis Perfect Cucumber 



Stokes* Perfection White Spine 

 Cucumber 



This magnificent Cucumber has been bred by 

 careful selection by a prominent grower in Rhode 

 Island. It is quite early, enormously prolific and 

 bears uniformly long, symmetrical, deep green 

 colored fruits faintly marked with a light yellowish 

 shading toward the blossom end. The seeds are 

 small, making it an ideal variety for market or 

 slicing. The vines are very vigorous and healthy 

 and blight-resisting and maintain their fresh luxuri- 

 ance, bearing until late in the season. Price, pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., ^Ib. 45 cts., lb. $1.50.
