SEYMOUR'S WHITE SOLID. A large sized, vigor- 

 ous growing variety; stalks white, round, very 

 crisp; perfectly solid and of superior flavor. 

 Matures a little earlier than Giant Pascal. Pkt. 5c;

Hinnl- Pac/»al This is a green leaved 

 VSla.ni K <a.sca.i variety developed 

 from the Golden Yellow Self Blanching 

 and we recommend it as being of the very 

 best quality for fall and early winter use. 

 It blanches to a beautiful yellowish white 

 color; is very solid and crisp and of a fine 

 nutty flavor. The stalk is very thick, the 

 upper portion nearly round but broadening 

 and flattening toward the base. With rich 

 soil and high culture this variety will give 

 splendid satisfaction as a large growing sort 

 for fall and early winter use. In the south 

 it is prized more than almost any other kind.

We consider this the 

 best in quality of the 

 large, late sorts. The variety produces a very 

 strong and vigorous plant with large, very white, 

 crisp, tender and fine flavored stalks. It is late 

 and requires the whole season to develop but wi 

 keep well for a long time and has proven to be a 

 very popular late variety. When it is properly 

 grown a dozen plants trimmed for market wi"' 

 weigh nearly twice as much as the same number 

 of some smaller and earlier sorts. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c;

Keeps the best of any 

 celery yet introduced. 

 Growth compact and short in stem so that 

 plants may be well earthed up for blanching while 

 growing close together. Foliage dark green; heart 

 large, solid and formed early; stalks white, thick, 

 yet brittle without stringiness and of good quality. 

 It requires more time to mature than some sorts 

 but remains firm, solid and in perfect condition 

 until late in the spring. We recommend it as the 

 best variety for the late market. Pkt. 5c;

SOUP, OR CUTTING CELERY. This variety is not 

 suitable for blanching but is sown thick in rows 

 and the tops are cut when three or four inches 

 high for use as soup flavoring. The tops grow 

 very large and rapidly and if cut repeatedly a suc- 

 cession will be furnished throughout the season.

PFIFRIAP ^^ TURNIP ROOTED CELERY Sow the seed at the same season and give the 



V/l <l <■ < Axl,.f^Vi/y same treatment as common celery. Transplant the young plants to moist rich, soil, in 

 rows two feet apart and six inches apart in the row. Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion 

 of this vegetable, it is not necessary to earth up or ''handle" it. After the roots have attained a diameter of two inches 

 or over, they are fit for use. To keep through 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.

roots are used quite extensively as a substitute or adulterant for coffee. Sow the seed .as early in the spnng as the 

 ground can be prepared, in a rather light, moderately rich soil, in drills two to two and one half feet for either garden 

 or field culture. When the plants are sufficiently large, thin to six inches apart in the row. Cultivate well and in the

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

 each cutting. The seed may be sown in rows in place, or in boxes and transplanted. The plants are productive during 

 two or three years and may then be taken up, divided and reset. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c.

 the south where it furnishes an abundance of food for the table or for stock. Forms a large, loose, open head, or a 

 mass of leaves on a tall stem. Freezing does not injure but rather improves the quality. Sow thick in drills, in rich 

 ground, transplanting when four inches high; or sow in drills whei'e the plants are to remain and when well started thin 

 to two or three feet apart in the row. In the south, sow from January to May and August to October. Pkt. 5c;
