\\7' *■ D I* ^is is cons idered the most attractive in color and the best in quality of any of the late keeping sorts. 



Winter I\eliance The plants are moderately dwarf, erect and compact, with solid heart. The habit of growth is very 

 well adapted for late keeping. When ready for the late market the stalks are a very attractive light creamy yellow. The quality 

 is unsurpassed by any variety of its class and is decidedly superior to most of the older, long keeping sorts. We recommend it 

 as the best variety for the late market. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 2 Oz. 60c; Va Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.50 



¥-• i» q A late maturing variety which keeps the best of any celery yet introduced. The growth is compact 



rrencn S OUCCeSS and short in stem so that the plants may be well earthed up for blanching while growing close to- 

 gether. The foliage is dark green. The heart is large, solid and is formed early. The stalks become when blanched almost 

 white or very light creamy yellow, thick, yet brittle, without stringiness and of good quality. It requires more time to 

 mature than some sorts but remains firm, solid and in fine condition until late in the spring. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 2 Oz. 60c;

CELERIAC or Turnip Rooted Celery 



In this kind of celery, the roots have been developed by cultivation and not the leaf-stalks. The roots, which are edible 

 portion, keep well for winter use and are excellent for soups and stews. They are also cooked and sliced as a salad. 



Sow seed at the same season and give the same treatment as common celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows two 

 feet apart and six inches apart in row. Give thorough culture. It is not necessary to earth up or "handle" the plants. After 

 the roots have attained a diameter of two inches, they are fit for use. 



To keep through the 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. 



An improved variety of turnip rooted celery producing large roots of nearly globular shape and

comparatively smooth surface. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; Va Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50 



CHERVIL 



A hardy annual with aromatic leaves somewhat resembling parsley and by many considered superior to it in flavor. The young 

 leaves are used in soups and for flavoring and garnishing meats and vegetables. 



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. They are ready for use 

 in six to ten weeks from sowing. 



CI i This very finely curled, double sort is much superior to the plain variety, being 

 lirieu early maturing, handsomer and having fully as fine fragrance and flavor. Pkt.

CHICORY 



I r% j r*> ££ The dried and prepared roots are much used as a 



Large KOOted Or L.Oiree substitute for coffee, and the young leaves may be used 

 as a spring salad. Our stock is the improved type, with very much larger, smoother, whiter 

 and proportionately shorter roots than the old kind. 



Sow seed as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, in rather light, moderately 

 rich soil, in drills two to two and one-half feet apart for either garden or field culture. 

 When the plants are sufficiently large, thin to six inches apart in the row and cultivate well.

jmall KOOted Or KadlCIietta use as a salad. The leaves are long, narrow, 

 entire or slightly toothed and blanch readily when the plants are grown close together. The 

 roots are long and slender, averaging about one-half inch in diameter and from six to eight 

 inches long. 



Sow seed as early in spring as possible, preferably in wide strips or blocks. Deep, rich, 

 loomy soil which has been manured the previous year is essential for the best results. Keep 

 clear from weeds and thin sparingly. Where climate permits seed may be sown about mid- 

 winter. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; Va Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50 



tir.,i r (French Endive) The leaves and leaf-stems of this variety are blanched and 

 W ItlOOr used as a salad like Endive or Cos Lettuce. 



Sow seed about one inch deep in the open ground in May or June in rows about eighteen 

 inches apart. Thin plants to six inches apart in the row. In the fall the roots should be 

 lifted, the leaves trimmed to within qne and one-half inches of the crown, the side roots 

 broken off and the roots shortened to a uniform length of about nine inches. The roots are 

 then placed upright in a trench about eighteen inches deep, setting the roots about two 

 inches apart and the crowns at a depth of about nine inches below the level of the top of the 

 trench. Fill in the trench with fine rich soil. If more rapid growth is desired cover the 

 rows with a mulch of manure about one and one-half feet deep. The new tops \\ ill attain 

 the proper size in from four to six weeks. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; Va Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



CHIVES - Allium Schoenoprasum 



Celeriac Large Smooth Prague 



An onion-like plant used as a salad 

 and for flavoring soups. It also makes 

 an excellent ornamental garden bed edging which may frequently be cut, a new growth of 

 leaves appearing soon after each cutting. The plants grow about ten inches high. One 

 sowing will answer for about three years. Pkt. 10c; Oz. $1.00; 2 Oz. $1.50; J4 Lb. $2.50
