CELERY 



No. 32. Golden Plume 



A distinguished strain. Full-hearted, wiih a long rib 

 and thick stalk 



Days to maturity, 115. Stokes' Golden Plume is an 

 accepted leader in the important Sanford (Fla.) Celery 

 district. We know of no part of the United States where 

 competition in strains of Celery is so keen. For that 

 reason we take justifiable pride that our stock of Golden 

 Plume is looked on by many of the largest growers in 

 the district as being the most dependable and profitable 

 Celery they are growing. The accuracy of this state- 

 ment can be checked by investigation among the San- 

 ford growers and by our own steadily advancing sales. 

 The success of the Stokes strain has not been left to 

 chance, but can be attributed to the infinite care taken 

 in the seed-production. As further protection, we have 

 conducted exhaustive proving-ground and commercial 

 field-tests in various parts of the country. The strongest 

 endorsement for the stock comes from the growers who 

 have used it. It seems particularly desirable for spring 

 planting in the South. 



Our breeding-work has been done by a Celery grower 

 of long experience. The features which have been 

 emphasized are fullness of heart, length of rib, and 

 thickness of stalk. All these factors contribute toward 

 a heavy yield of large-size stalks and provide extra-good 

 quality and appearance of the packed crate. Besides 

 these, there is complete freedom from green-heart and 

 sports, and due to correct methods of seed-production 

 there is a decided freedom from seed-bolting. The 

 vitality of the stock is attested to by the rapidity 

 with which the seed germinates and the seedlings start ofT. As one grower recently expressed 

 it, "It looks as though every seed had produced three plants."

No. 33. Golden Phenomenal 



For early planting. Four inches taller than Golden Plume 



Days to maturity, 115. Developed by Ferry-Morse. This variety has proved particularly 

 adaptable to certain sections in New York. The plants are ready for use at an early date. 

 They are full-hearted and compact, with long, edible stalks that are thick, solid, blanched 

 readily, and are of a rich, nutty flavor. Golden Phenomenal is quite similar to Golden Plume, 

 except that the stalks are 4 inches taller.

No. 34. Salt Lake 



A thick, crisp, and high-quality green Celery 

 Days to maturity, 130. This variety has been on the market for about 5 years and is very 

 highly recommended for winter use and for storage. It will blanch much more readily than 

 most green varieties, and is very thick, stringless, crisp, and of unusually good flavor. The plants 

 grow to a good height, but not too tall, and develop a very heavy heart. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; y 4 lb. $2.35; lb. $8; 5 lbs. or over, $7.75 per lb.
