SELF - BLANCH- 

 ING VARIETIES. 



WHITE PLUME— Self-Blanching. 



rpHIS sort is too widely known to require an extended description. We will only say that 

 we have not yet found a Celery that is an early and of as good a flavor, crisp and tender as 

 our selection of this sort. Combined with these important points are its self-blanching qual- 

 ities, which render it one of the most valuable sorts. Where a fine appearing Celery at a min- 

 imum amount of labor is the object, this variety will give entire satisfaction. An improved 

 White Plume is being offered, but careful comparison of it with our stock fails to show chut 

 it is equal to that we offer. We sell, every year, large quantities of this seed to market garden- 

 erB, who find it uniformly white and free from green or hollow stalks. It is not as good a 

 keeper as our Golden Heart, but it is unsurpassed for fall and winter use, and it is the earliest 

 Celery known. Pkt. 4c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 22c; K lb. 40c; ^ lb. 75c; lb. SI. -to. 



NEW PINK PLUME— Self-Blanching. 



The stalks of this magnificent new Celery are clear, creamy white, shaded with a beauti- 

 ful 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, like 

 the White 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 wonderfully attractive for table 

 nse. It has no tendency to rust, and owing to its white tops matures and blanches asearly as 

 White Plume. Pkt. 4c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 22c; X lb. 40c; X lb. 75c; lb. $1 .25.

L/UlulirG! the young plants to moist, rich soil, in rows 2 feet apart and 6 inches in the row. Give 

 * thorough cultivation. As the roots are the edible portion of this vegetable it is not neces- 

 sary to earth up or "handle" it. After the roots have attained a diameter of 2 inches or over, 

 they will be fit for use. To keep the same through the winter, pack in damp earth or sand and put in 

 the cellar, or leave out of doors, covering with earth and straw, like beets or carrots.
