 GOLDEN PLUME 



Days to maturity, 105-115. This justly 

 celebrated variety was introduced in 1923. 

 In six short years it has gained tremendous 

 popularity and as a commercial crop we 

 consider it of greater importance than 

 Golden Self-Blanching, a variety which has 

 led the procession for over forty years. 

 The value of Golden Plume lies in its 

 extreme earliness and in its elegant, full- 

 hearted appearance. In addition to these 

 important points it is blanched with greater 

 ease than any variety we know. Golden 

 Plume is available for market at least a 

 week ahead of Golden Self-Blanching and 

 is distinctly more resistant to disease than 

 that variety. It is not a long keeping 

 Celery and should be handled promptly Golden 

 when ready for market. Golden Plume is 

 looked upon as one of the few leaders. 

 This year in the exacting Philadelphia 

 County trials our strain held its own with 

 the foremost competition in this country. In the 

 important Sanford, Florida district it has earned a high 

 reputation of being among the very finest Celery grown 

 in that section. 



Infinite care is taken in the production of our seed 

 which is saved only from plants showing the true, full- 

 hearted type. The photograph on this page gives a 

 fair idea of the robust size of the stalk. In studying this 

 photograph, keep in mind that the fact that it had to be 

 greatly reduced to get it on the page. We would point out 

 that Golden Plume is now sold under about ten different 

 titles. The most common synonym is Wonderful. Price,
