Giant Pascal. This is a selection 
from the New Orleans Self-Blanching 
Celery; it partakes of the best quali-

larger and beiter 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

An aromatic plant, used a good deal for seasoning, especially in oyster
