NEW GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING— The btaulifiil appearance of the plant, with its 

 close habit, compact growth and straight vigorous stalks is shown in the illus 

 tration. The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, and of delicious flavor, while it has 

 the decided merit of being self-blanching tea very remarkable degree. Without 

 banking up or any covering whatever, even the outer ribs become of a handsome, 

 fresh, yellowish-white color. The heart is large, solid, and of a beautiful, rich, 

 golden-yellow color. The leaves, also, are of a beautiful golden-vellow after the 

 plant has been bleached. Pkt. 5c. oz. 20c. \i lb. 55c, )4 lb. §1.00, ib. ?;i.r5. 

 WHITE PLUME SELF-BLANCHING— This sort is too widely known to require an 

 extended description. We will only say that we have not yet found a Celery that 

 is as early and of as good a flavor, crisp and tender as our selection of this sort. 

 Combined with these important points are its self-blauching qualities, which ren- 

 der it one of the most valuable sorts. We sell every year large quantities of this 

 seed to market gardeners, who find it uniformally white and free from green or 

 hollow stalks. It is not as good a keeper as our Golden Heart, but it is unsur- 

 passed for fall and earlv winter use, and is the earliest Celery knovrn. Pkt. 4c,

 are of clear, creamy white, shaded with beautiful delicate pink. In flavor it is 

 sweeter than any other, all red Celery having a stronger "Celery'' flavor, and is 

 preferred by celery lovers wherever known. The foliage is white, serrated like 

 W^hite Plume, and the plants bleach naturally. It has the long keeping qualities 

 for which red Celeries are noticeable, and the faint tint of pink makes it wonder- 

 fully attractive for table use. It has no tendency to rust, but owing to its white

BUCKBEE'S NEW ROCKFORD PICKLE 



Without a doubt the culminating triumph 

 of Cucumber introductions. It is unques- 

 tionably the best Cucumber for pickles, and 

 is used'almost exclusively by pickle factor- 

 ies throughout the country. The fruit is 

 of medium size, wonderfully even in growth , 

 slightly pointed at both ends. Extra early, 

 and the whole crop can be depended upon 

 to make fine shaped pickles. Color deep 

 green ;■ begins to set its fruit when quite 

 young. You will find this variety valuable 

 for slicing also, being of fine flavor, crisp 

 and delicious. I control the entire stock of 

 this variety. Pkt. 10c. oz. 15c, }^ lb. 35c, 

 K lb. 60c. lb. Sl.OO.
