exceeds any known vegetable as an ornament for the table. The eating qualities are equal to the very best 

 older sorts, being crisp, solid, and having that nutty flavor peculiar to some of'the red sorts. In size and 

 weight it is very similar to those popular kinds, the Golden Dwarf and Half Dwarf ; that is, a single plant showed 

 whiteness of stem and peculiar feathery leaves which were permanently reproduced from seed and gave us this 

 entirely new type of Celery. Owing to its tenderness it will not keep as well into late winter as the green sorts, 

 but it can be had in perfection through the Christmas Holidays. Price 50 cts. per pkt. 

 CELERY, Dwarf Golden Heart. A new, distinct variety of great value. In size of growth it is the same as 

 the Half Dwarf White kinds, except when blanched ; the heart is large and of a waxy golden-yellow, making 

 it attractive for market or private use. It is solid, of most excellent flavor, and keeps well during the winter.
