CELERY - Self Blanching Varieties 



GOLDEN YELLOW LARGE SOLID. OR GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING— This is tlie 

 best Celery lor early use. Plants of a yellowisU-Kreeu eolor when young, but as 

 thev mature the iiuier stems and leaves turn a beautiful golilen yellow, which 

 adds nuich to their attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much easier. 

 The handsome color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and /ine 

 nutty flavor of this variety make it only necessary to be tried in order to estab- 

 lish it as the standard of excellence as an early sort. Pkt. 6c.; oz. 20r,.; 2 oz. 36c.; 

 lb. 60c.; ' j lb. $1.10; lb. $2.00. 



WHITE PLUME — Is too widely known to require extended description. I will only 

 say that I have not yet found a Celery that is as early and of as good a flavor, 

 cn'sp 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 C*lery at a minimum amount of labor is the ob- 

 ject, this variety will give entire satisfaction. An improved White Plume is be- 

 ing ottered, but careful comparison of it with my stock fails to show that it is 

 equal to that I otter. I sell, every year, large quantities of this seed to market 

 gardeners, who find it uniformly white and free from green or hollow stalks. It 

 is not as good a keeper as our All Heart, but it is unsurpassed for fall and 

 winter use, and it is the earliest Celery known. 



Pkt. 4c.;oz. 12c.; 2 oz. 22c.; M lb. 40c.; 3 2 lb. 76c.; lb. 81.40. 



PINK PLUME — Stalks clear, creamy white, shaded with a beautiful delicate pink. 

 Flavor sweeter than any other, all red Celery having a stronger "Celery'* flavor, 

 and is preferred by Celery lovers wherever known. Foliage white, like the White 

 Plume; plants bleach naturally. Has the long keeping qualities for which red 

 Celeries are noted, 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 White Plume. 



Pkt. 4c. ; oz. 12c. ; 2 oz. 22c. ; M lb. 40c. ; i lb. 76c. ; lb. $1.25. 



WHITE PLUME SELF-BLANCHISIQ CELEBY. 



Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Cele 



GERMAN, KnoUen-SeUerie; FRENCH, Celeri-rave. 



CUITURE. Sow the seed at the same season and give the same treatment as common 

 Celery. Transplant the young plants to moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six 

 Inches apart in the row. G'w e tnorough cultivation. As the roots are the edible portion 

 of this vegetable it is not necessary to earth up or "handle" it. After the roots have 

 attained a diameter of two inches or over, they will be fit for use. To keep the same 

 through 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. 



TtJRNIP ROOTED — The root of this variety is turnip-shaped and tender, having a 

 sweeter taste and stronger flavor than other varieties. It is used principally for 

 seasoning meats and soups. 



Pkt. 3c.; oz. 10c. ; 2 oz. 16c.; H lb. 30c.; Vi lb. 60c.; lb. 90c. 



LARGE ROOTED SMOOTH PRAGUE — An improved form of the turnip-rooted celery, 

 producing large and smooth roots, which are almost round, and with very few side 

 roots. Plants vigorous, with large, deep green foliage. 



Pkt. 4c.; oz. 12c.; 2 oz. 22c.; Ji lb. 40c.; \i lb. 70c.; lb. $1.26. 



The World-Beating Cucumber 



Without Question the Preferable Variety for Pickling, Market, Table and Family Use. 

 BUCKBEE'S NEW ROCKFORD PICKLE. 



THE NEW 



j^OCKfORD PIf '^'■E 



Without a doubt a culminating triutnph of Cucumber introduc- 

 tions. It is unquestionably the best Cucumber for pickles, and is used 

 almost exclusively by pickle factories 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. lOc; oz. 16c.; 2 oz. 25c.; 3^ lb. 45c.; )^ lb. 80c.; lb. $1.60.
