Giant Pascal. This is a selection 

 from the New Orleans Self-Blanching 

 Celery; it partakes of the best quali- 

 ties 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 stringless; 

 the -width and thickness 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 Plume. A handsome 

 thick ribbed variety, of yellowish 

 white color and very crisp and tender.

Perfection Heartwell. This 

 variety is in size between the

 very thick, and when blanched 

 the heart is of a beautiful golden

 White Solid, and one of the best 

 kinds ever introduced. 



Large White Solid. Tall, 

 large sized, very solid and pure 

 white. It is crisp, but not as 

 ine flavored as the following 

 kinds. It is used extensively 

 for garnishing.

 sown in the spring of the year, 

 broadcast, to be used for season-
