C" » 'T • I- ^^® consider this tlie best in quality 



HiVanS IriUmpn of tlie large, late sorts. Tlie variety 

 produces a very strong and vigorous plant with dark green 

 foliage and large stalks which when blanched are attractive 

 light yellow or nearly white, crisp, tender and of fine flavor. 

 It is late and requires the wliole season to develop but will 

 keep well for a long time and has proven to be a very pop- 

 ular late variety. When properly grown a dozen plants 

 trimmed for market will weigh nearly twice as much as 

 the same number of some smaller ami earlier sorts. Pkt. 5c;

W. r> I- This is considered the most attrac- 



inter Keliance tlve in color and the best in quality 

 of any of the late keeping sorts. Plant moderately dwarf, 

 compact, with solid heart and habit of growth very well 

 adapted for late keeping. When ready for the late market 

 the color is a light creamy yellow, very handsome. Its 

 quality is unsurpassed by any variety of its class and is de- 

 cidedly supeiior to most of the older, long keeping sorts.

CELERIAC 



Winter Reliance 



OR TURNIP ROOTED CELERY. 



Sow seed at the same season and 

 give the same treatment as common celery. Trans- 

 plant to moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and 

 six inches apart in row. Give thorough culture. As 

 the roots are the edible portion it is not necessary 

 to earth up or "handle" it. After the roots have at- 

 tained a diameter of two inches, they are fit for use. 

 To keep 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 and carrots.

/^1-I17 1? "X/f f A hardy annual with aromatic 

 ^^* AJ-iAX Y l,J_i leaves resembling parsley in 

 appearance and by many considered superior to that 

 vegetable in flavor. The young leaves are used in 

 soups and salads and for flavoring and garnishing 

 dishes of meats and vegetables. Thej are ready for 

 use in six to ten weeks from sowing. Sow in early 

 spring in rich, well prepared soil. The seed is slow . 

 to germinate, sometimes remaining in the earth 

 four or five weeks before the plants appear. When 

 the plants are about two inches high, transplant or 

 thin to about one foot apart.
