CELERY. 



(.(iLDhN SELF BLANCHING 



GIANT PASCAL.— This is a 

 large growing variety in good land 

 attaining a height of about two 

 feet. The stalks are thiols, solid 

 and stringless and very brittle. 

 The stalks are fewer in number than 

 most kinds of celery, but making 

 full weight by reason of width, thick- 

 ness and succulence. I do not think 

 the color of any celery is better de- 

 scribed by the word ivory than this 

 one. It blanches early ' and keeps 

 well. In flavor it is very sweet re- 

 sembling the Golden Self-Blanching. 

 Taking altogether, this is a very 

 desirable variety. Pkt. 5c. : oz. 10c. ; 

 1-4 lb. .50c. : 11). .$1.50. 



PINK PLUME.— This excellent 

 celery is vigorous in growth and 

 not likely to rust. It blanches al- 

 most as early as White I'lume, and 

 is solid, crisp and brittle. It is 

 also one of the most beautiful and 

 best fla\on>d of all the celery. If 

 you have not grown this variety 

 you should not fail to give it a 

 trial. I'kt. 5c. : oz. 20c. ; 1-4 lb. 

 60c. ; lb. $2.00.
