While we are fully aware that 

 this variety has great merit as 

 an early market sort, being as 

 early as any and very attractive when fit for use, yet we do not think that 

 it compares favorably with the Golden Yellow Self Blanching either in 

 Havor or solidity, or that it will remain in condition for use as long after it 

 is earthed up. Plants light yellowish-green with tips of leaves almost 

 white. As they mature, the inner stems and leaves turn white and require 

 to be earthed up but a short time before they are in condition for use. 

 Where a fine appearing celery at a minimum amount of labor is the object, 

 ,' s variety will give entire satisfaction. An Improvjd White Plume with 

 bnger stems is being offered, but careful comparison with our stock shows 

 that it is not equal in quality or so desirable as that we offer. Pkt. 5c;

GOLDEN HEART, OR GOLDEN DWARF. A distinct variety of sturdy, 



dwarf habit. It is solid, an excellent keeper, and of fine, nutty flavor. The 



heart, which is large and full, is of a light yellow when blanched, making 



this an exceedingly showy and desirable variety for both market and pri- 



^ vate use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



^ DWARF WHITE SOLID. Dwarf, white, stiff, close habit; solid, crisp and 

 j6f fair quality. This variety is also sold as Large Eibbed Kalamazoo and 

 /Kalamazoo. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; H Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



MIRAWFORD'S HALF DWARF. When blanched is of rather yellowish- 

 white color, and is quite solid and well flavored. It is vigorous in growth, 

 and equals some of the large growing sorts in weight of blanched stalks 

 per plant. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; 3^ Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.60 



'/ PERFECTION HEARTWELL. A fine flavored, crisp and tender variety. 

 The plants are a little taller than Crawford's Half Dwarf and a little 

 later in maturing. The stalks are of medium size, round, very solid, crisp, 

 tender, white and of exceedingly fine and nutty flavor. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 15c; 

 2 Oz. 26c; ^ Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



As grown by us this 

 is one of the best 

 late sorts. This 

 variety has a very strong and vigorous plant with large, very white, crisp, 

 brittle, tender and fine flavored stalks. It is late and re- 

 quires the whole season to develop but will keep well for a 

 very long time and lias proven to be one of the most popu- 

 lar late varieties. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; h LB. 60c;

EvANS' Triumph CEufRv. 



Giant *Pa^cal 



This is a green 

 leaved variety 

 deve loped 



from the Golden Yellow Self Blanching, and is an excel- 

 lent sort for fall and winter use. It blanches to a beautiful 

 yellowish-white color, is very solid and crisp and of a fine 

 nutty flavor. The stalks grow broad and thick, a single 

 plant making a large bunch. With rich soil and high 

 culture this variety will be wholly satisfactory. Especially 

 recommended for the south where it is prized more than 

 almost any other kind. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c;

BOSTON MARKET. For many years one of the most popu- 

 lar sorts in the markets of Boston. Instead of a single 

 large heart it forms a number of smaller ones, which are 

 very white, and remarkably tender and crisp. The best 

 variety for light soils. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 16c; 2 Oz. 25c;

^'^^ French* 4^ Succe4:4: Celery 



Keeps the best of any celery yet introduced. Growth compact and short in stem so that plants may be well earthed up 

 for blanching while growing close together. Foliage dark green; heart large, solid and formed early; stalks white, thick, yet 

 brittle and without stringiness, and of good quality. It requires more time to matui-e than some sorts but remains firm, 

 solid and in perfect condition until late in spring. We recommend it as the best variety for the late market. Pkt. 5c;

■ CULTURE— Sow the seed at the same season and give the 

 same treatment as common celerj'. Transplant the j'oung plants 

 to moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six inches apart in 

 the row. Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible 

 portion of this vegetable, it is not necessary to eaith up or 

 "handle" it. After the roots have attained a diameter of two 

 inches or over, they will be fit for use. To keep through winter, 

 pack in damp earth or sand and piit in the cellar or leave out of 

 doors, covering with earth and straw, like beets or carrots.
