SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS 



Strong, Full-Hearted Celery 



Three ounces will plant an acre 



Golden Plume 



Days to maturity, 115. This celebrated variety is now well entrenched in the opinions of the large 

 Celery-growers of this country. It has completely captured the Early Golden market because of its 

 fine full-hearted appearance and the ease with which it is blanched. Golden Plume has taken the 

 cream of the early Celery money for at least the past two years. It is available for the market a week 

 ahead of Golden Self-blanching and is also distinctly more resistant to disease than that variety. 

 In other characteristics it is similar, including color and flavor. 



Golden Plume is not a long-keeping Celery and should be handled promptly when ready for market. 

 Gur strain can be looked upon as one of the few leaders. Infinite care is taken in the production of 

 our seed which is saved only from plants showing the true full-hearted type. The most critical growers 



can place full reliance on the 

 stock which we offer. We 

 would point out that Golden 

 Plume is now sold under about 

 ten different titles. The most 

 common synonym is Wonder- 

 ful. Price, delivered: Pkt. 

 50 cts.; oz. $2.50; %lb. $8; 

 lb. $30; 5 lbs. or more, $28 

 per lb. 



Golden Self- 

 Blanching 



ORIGINAL TYPE 



Days to maturity, 120. 

 After thirty years, Golden 

 Self-blanching still maintains 

 a very important place among 

 the commercial Celery-grow- 

 ers of this country. It has been 

 the parent stock from which a 

 number of new strains have 

 been developed, including 

 Golden Plume, Easy-blanch- 

 ing, and others. Of late there 

 has been developed a much 

 taller stock of Golden Self- 

 blanching. We have not felt 

 justified in offering that type, 

 however. The stock offered 

 herewith is the original dwarf, 

 early-maturing type. Our 

 strain has been grown with 

 great care. It is proven a year 

 in advance of sale to our 

 customers who may purchase 

 it with full confidence that the 

 type is true and up to our 

 usual superstandard require- 

 ments. Golden Self-blanching 

 will prove to be a much better 

 keeping Celery than Golden 

 Plume. It can be stored until 

 the holiday season without 

 difficulty. Price, delivered : 

 Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1; V 4 lb. 

 $3.50; lb. $12; 5 lbs. or more, 

 $11 per lb.
