CELERY and CELERIAC. 



Giant Pascal celery, 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. Like the White Plume, this Celery is self- 

 blanching to a remarkable degree, but unlike it, has stalks of beautiful golden yellow, 

 equal in quality to those of any variety grown. The plants are semi-dwarf and vigorous 

 in habit, with large, ribbed and rounded stalks, which are quite crisp and tender. The 

 variety may be distinguished when quite small by the distinct yellowish green of its 

 leaves. Tliis is one of the best and handsomest kinds of Celery which can be grown, 

 either for home use or for market. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., Klb. 90 cts., lb. S3. 

 _,,-iJL\.NT GOLDEN HEART. A choice strain, derived from Dwarf Golden Heart 

 "by careful selection and high culture. In beauty, size and quality it is all that could be 

 desired, and is a great favorite with private gardeners on account of its rich color and 

 '^rLhne flavor. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., I4\h. 60 cts., lb. S2. 



j-Jj^ - "'""KALAMAZOO. A celebrated market sort, of large, neat and rapid growth, and 

 .(S?^ showy appearance. It is remarkable for the even, uniform growth of its stalks, which 

 ■"^T^^are close growing, large, thick, solid, crisp and delicious. A good-keeping, first-class 

 J^Cel^^y. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., %\h. 80 cts., lb. $2.75. 



BOSTON MARKET. This variety is much grown in the city from whence it takes 

 ^ rts name> The plants are half-dwarf and very robust in growth, producing numerous 

 small shoots from the sides. The main stems are large and rather coarse ; quality fine. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 3^1b. 60 cts., lb. $2. 



-■■ NEW ROSE. The red-tinged sorts of Celery are superior to' others in flavor, 

 hardiness, and the solidity of their stems, which are of good size, crisp <jnd tender, 

 keeping in prime condition longer than those of white and yellow Celeries. The deli- 

 cate shadings and tracings of rose on the blanched stalks and in the heart render this a 

 very ornamental variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., '/lb. 80 cts., lb. S2.75. 

 --rTjARGE WHITE SOLID. This variety is not extensively grown on account of 

 its very large size, yet few other sorts are equal to it in rich delicacy of flavor. It is one 

 of the best of the large-growing sorts, attaining a height of 3 feet under good cultiva- 

 tion. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., J<lb. 60 cts., lb. $2.

Prague Giant Celeriac. 



CEI.ERIAC, or TURNIP-ROOTED 

 CEEERY. 



(Knotlen ©ellerie.) 



The turnip like roots of this vegetable are used for flavoring meats and soups, or 

 are prepared for cooking like turnips — boiled in just milk enough to cover them until 

 quite tender, then seasoned with salt and pepper, and served with butter. They are 1 

 also good when used with vinegar as a salad. The seed should be sown in early spring, 

 in light, rich soil, the seedlings transplanted in May, and watered freely in dry weather. 

 They will be ready for cooking in October, and may be preserved for use during winter : 

 in dry sand. Celeriac is said to be as fine a nerve tonic as celery, and can be grown in*^ 

 manjr sections where celery culture is practically impossible. The roots have almost 

 the same flavor as the crispest white celery stalks, and do not require half so much care 

 in banking, while they keep perfectly with no more care than a crop of turnips — much 

 longer than celery stalks will. An ounce of seed will produce about 5,000 plants. 



]/' PRAGUE GIANT. The roots of this variety are very large and smooth, with no 

 side roots, and sell better in market than those of almost any other sort offered. 

 When young they are quite tender and marrow-like, having a very fine flavor and cooking quickly. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., Klb. 90 cts. 

 ,™i^SP"APPLE-SHAPED. Small, round leaves and apple-shaped roots, of good flavor; early in maturing; smooth and smaller than the 

 above, but quite as nutty and palatable ; fine for flavoring. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., KIb. 90 cts. 



^^^^^ CORN SALAD, or FETTICUS. 



(Sammer (Satat.) 



The leaves of this plant are used during winter and spring as a substitute for lettuce ; they may also be cooked and used like spinach. 

 Sow the seed thickly in shallow drills in September, and firm the soil well down above it, if the weather be dry. The plants will require 

 no culture beyond keeping them free from weeds ; in northern climates they should be given a light covering of straw in winter. The 

 richer the soil the finer the flavor of the leaves. In some sections of country this salad is highly appre- 

 ciated, and it is much grown for use where other salads or lettuce cannot be cultivated with success. 

 The variety offered below is by far the best. An ounce of seed will sow a bed 20 feet square. 



LARGE-SEEDED. The variety now most generally cultivated. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., '/lb. 



30 cts., lb. 90 cts. 



CORN, for POPPING. 



(^nallforn. ) 



In every garden this should be grown for the benefit of the children, who delight in parching it, 

 and in making "Popcorn Balls." A more innocent and pleasurable amusement could hardiy be 

 found for them during winter evenings. On account of 

 its small grains, Popcorn is also valuable for feeding to 

 young chicks and other poultry, it being considered much 

 more healthful for them than the bread or dough generally 

 used. It requires only ordinar\' culture, and may be sown 

 thickl\' in rows. Our seed is fresh and of best sorts, 

 sure to germinate and grow ears that will pop intosplendid 

 white fluffy kernels. Pkt. 5c., pt. 13 c.,qt.35C., postpaid.
