COLE'S. CELERY SEED.

CELERY 



Ger. Seller ic. Fr. Celeri. 

 One ounce will produce UOOO plants. 

 This is one of the best, if not the finest, of salad 

 plants. Although largely grown at the present time, 

 still its production should be greatly increased. It 

 may be grown in any garden with very little labor. 

 Sow seed during March or April in hot-bed, or in a 

 box in the house, or in the open ground in moist, 

 rich soil. When sown in the open ground it vegetates 

 slowly. When the plants are four to six inches high, 

 transplant in rows three feet apart and six inches 

 apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch three '^r four 

 times during their growth, taking care that no earth 

 falls in the center of the plant. Take up the plants 

 late in the fall, just before winter sets in, and re- 

 move to the cellar and cover with sand or. earth, for 

 future use.

NEW PINK PLUME. The stalks of this 



Celery are of clear, creamy white, shaded with a 

 beautiful, delicate pink. In flavor, it is sweeter 

 than any other. It has the long keeping qualities 

 for which the red Celeries are noticeable, and the 

 faint tint of pink makes it wonderfully attractive 

 for table use. It has no tendency to rust, and 

 owing to its white tops matures and blanches as 

 early as the famous White Plume. Per pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 20 cts., 14 lb. 60 cts. 



WHITE PLUME. Each year adds to the 



popularity and value of this variety. It requires 

 very little earthing up to blanch it. Its eating 

 qualities are equal to the very best other sorts, 

 being crisp, solid and of a ricn nutty flavor. It is 

 a good keeper up to the holiday season, and for 

 early use is more extensively grown for market 

 than any other sort. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts,, 

 % lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. This fine 



variety with its rich, golden yellow color, its close 

 habit and compact growth, and the readiness with 

 which it is bleached and renderea marketable, make 

 it invaluable to the gardener and exceedingly pop- 

 ular with every planter. The entire stalk is solid, 

 crisp, and although not as early, a much better 

 keeper than the White Plums. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 20 cts., % lb. 60 cts., lb. $2.00. 



GOLDEN ROSE. This beautiful new 



Celery is a sport from the well known Golden Self- 

 blanching, and retains all the good qualities of 

 this famous variety. It has the same beautiful, rich 

 golden yellow color, is self-blanching to the same 

 remarkable degree, and differs only in the color of 

 the ribs. These are of a very attractive shade of 

 rose. The plant is dwarf and heavy, the stalks are 

 very broad and solid, and are entirely free from 

 any stringiness. It is of the very finest table qual- 

 ity. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % lb. 75 cts. 



EVANS' TRIUMPH. One of the best 

 late sorts, of superb quality. It has a compact 

 habit of growth and one of the best keepers re- 

 maining in condition much longer than most sorts. 

 It is not only a splendid keeper, but the very large 

 solid stalks are of the finest texture and qu9Vty, 

 crisp, brittle, tender and really nut-like flavor and 

 has a stronger celery taste than anv other variety.
