GIANT PASCAL. — This is a selection 

 from the Golden Self-Blanching Celery; 

 it partakes of the best qualities of that 

 variety, but it is a much larger and 

 better keeper. It is of a fine nutty 

 flavor; grows about two feet high; the 

 stalks are very broad, thick and crisp, 

 entirely string-less; the width and thick- 

 ness of the stalks are distinct features 

 of this kind. It bleaches with but little 

 'earthing up" and very quickly, usually 

 in five or six days. 



LARGE WHITE PLTTME.— A hand- 

 some thick ribbed variety, of yellowish 

 white color and very crisp and tender. 

 It is easily bleached, requiring but little 

 earthing up, as the stalk, portions of 

 the inner leaves and heart are white 

 naturally. The originator claims that 

 up to but a few years ago this variety 

 has always had a tendency to revert to 

 the old green type, and it has always 

 produced a proportion of green plants. 

 but preserving selection for years en- 

 ables them now to produce an almost 

 absolutely pure stock far superior to 

 any that has ever been offered. 



LARGE WHITE SOLID.— Tall, large 

 sized, very solid and pure white. It is 

 crisp, but not as fine flavored as the 

 foregoing kinds. It is used extensively 

 for garnishing.

CULTUBE. — Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four or five seeds and thia 

 out to two or three. When the ground is strong the Adams' Extra Early and Crosby's 

 Sugar can be planted in hills two and a half feet apart, as these two varieties are more 

 dwarfish than the other kinds. Plant for a succession from February to June. 

 Seed corn that is in perfect condition to-day may be unfit for use in three days, and we 



Plant Lespedeza Clover, the Greatest Forage Plant.
