We srrow 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 



Golden Self Blanching. An early, beautifal, and in 

 ever)- way desirable sort, requiring but little labor to blanch. 

 The heart is a rich golden yellow, with light yellowish-green 

 outer leaves. ( See cut. ) 



New Golden Rose, Self Blanching. In character 

 the variety is identical with the Golden Self Blanching, except 

 the color, which is a beautiful rosy tinge, shading to very pale 

 pink at top of stalk ; it bleaches to a beautiful golden yellow at 

 the heart after storing for winter ; a good keeper and of the very 

 finest quality. 



{If wanted by ?Hail add 15 cts. per 1 00 f 07- postage.) 



Celery requhes a moist, rich soil, and will not thrive in poor soil and 

 dry situations. After the plants have attained a height of five or six inches 

 they should be set out in rows three feet apart and six inches in the row. 

 \Vlien twelve to fifteen inches high, the soil should be loosened by the use of 

 the plow or hoe and the plants be " handled." This operation consists of 

 drawing the stems upright with one hand, and pressing the soil firmly 

 against the plant with the other ; by this process the plant grows upright, 

 and can be easily cultivated and blanched by drawing the soil close up to 

 the plant. Celery should receive thorough cultivation if good results are 

 desired. To store for winter use, select well-drained ground, dig trenches 

 one foot wide and deep enough to cover the tops of the plants. Pack the 

 stalks in this in an upright position, covering with boards to shed the 

 water ; in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. 



White Plume. We offer a choice strain of this valuable and popu- 

 lar variety. The White Plume is unsurpassed for fall and early winter use, 

 requiring very little earthing up to blanch it. 



Dreer's Monarch. A decided acquisition, producing large stalks 

 and magnificent bright golden-yellow heart. The stalks are very solid, 

 brittle and of most delicious flavor, and when properly grown it is entirely 

 free from sbinginess. It is very desirable both for home use and for mar- 

 ket, as it is a remarkably good keeper. 



Golden Half Dwarf. The best of the half-dwarf varie- 

 ties, stalks large and full ; the heart is golden yellow, turning to 

 a light color when blanched. Very solid, rich flavor, and a good 

 keeper. 



Perfection Heartwell. This is one of the verj' best 

 varieties in cultivation ; stalks long and thick, very compact, 

 crisp and of fine flavor. 



Dwarf Rose. The red sorts surpass the white in flavor, 

 and possess in their coloring a feature which renders them 

 valuable as a table ornament.
