KG— This is the best Celery for early use. Plants of a yellow ish- 

 fireen color when yourg, but as they mature the inner stems and 

 leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow, which aricif much to their 

 attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much easier. The 

 hauci.sorric color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringincss 

 En 1 fi-e nutty flavor of this variety make it only necessary to be 

 tried in or 'cr to est.-^blish it as the standard of exce IlTice as an early

 BUCKBEE'S PERFECTED ELALAMAZOO — It is an acknowledged 



fact that more good Celery is grown in the famous "Kal.-imazoo Cel- 

 ery Fields" than anyw here in the country. For years my heaviest 

 sales of Celery Seed nave been in that section, and I have devoted 

 much time to the improvement of the justly celebrated variety 

 grow n in that section, until I now have this acme of perfection in 

 Celery — of creamj--white color, ideal size and perfect shape. It is 

 alike profitable either for market or family use. There is no waste 

 in preparing it for the table. M. M. Gangwer, of Stockertow n, Pa., 

 writes: "I highly prize your Perfected Kalamazoo Celery. It is 

 the grandest of Celeries." I control the entire product -^f this 

 strain of seed. Send to Buckbee for the choicest stock seeti. Plrt.

GLANT PASCAL — The latest and be.st variety of Celery. It is a 

 selection from the Golden Self-Blanching, and adds to the general 

 good qualities of its parent, superior keeping qualities. The stalks 

 are very large, thick, soUd, crisp, and of a rich, nutty flavor, free 

 from any trace of bitterness. It blanches very easily and quickly, 

 and retains its freshness a long time after being marketed. The 

 heart is golden-yellow-; very attractive, Pkt. 4c.; OZ. 12c.; 2 OZ.

 thick in rows and cutting when 3 or 4 inches high to use for soup 

 flavoring. It can be cut repeatedly and will furnish a successis n 

 throughout the season. Pkt. 3c.; bz. lOc; 2 OZ. 180.; i lb. 30c.;

EXCELLENT SELF-BLANCHUiG VARIETIES 



\V H TTTT l^T TTTVTP* widely known to require extended description. I will 



»¥ Xj^^AiV X only say that I have not yet found a Celery that is as early 



and cf as good a fi.ivor, crisp and tender, as my_ selection of this sort. Combined with these 

 important points are its self-blanching qualities, which render it one of the most valuable 

 sorts. Where a fine appearing Celery at a minimurn amount of labor is the object, this 

 v.'iriety V. ill give entire satisfactioti. An improved White Plume is being offered, but careful 

 mparison of it v ith my stock fails to show that it is equal to that I offer. I sell, every 

 \tz.t, large quantities of this seed tp market gardeners, '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.

 Celeries are noted, and the faint tint of pink makes it wonderfully attractive for table use
