CELERY 



Self=Blanching 

 Varieties. 



tO kite Tlume—Self 'Blanching. 



HPHIS sort is too widely known to require an extended description. \Ye will onlv 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-blanching qualities, which render it one of the most vaiua' le sorts. Where a fine 

 appearing Celery at a minimum amount of labor is theobject, this variety will give en- 

 tire satisfaction. An improved White Plume is being offered, but careful comparison 

 of it with our stock fails to show that it is equal to that we offer. We sell, every year, 

 large quantities of this seed to market gardeners, who find it uniformly white and" free 

 from green cr hollow stalks. It is not as good a keeper as our Golden* Heart, but it is 

 unsurpassed for falland winteruse. and it is the earliest Celerv known. Pkt 4c' 

 oz. 12c. ; 2 oz. 22c. ; h&Vb. 40c : Hlb. 75c : lb. $1.40. 



JVetv TinK Tlume—Self "Blanching. 



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

 beautiful delicate pink. In flavor it is sweeter than any other,"ali red Celery having 

 a strouger "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 ihe faint tint of pink 

 makes it wonderfully attractive for table use. It has no tendency to rust, aud owing 

 to its white tops matures and blanches as early as White Plume". Pkt.. 4c.: oz. 12i
