Winter Reliance 



This is considered the most attractive in color and the best in 

 quality of any of the late keeping sorts. The plants are moder- 

 ately dwarf, erect and compact, with solid heart. The habit of growth is very well adapt- 

 ed 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 de- 

 cidedly superior to most of the older, long keeping sorts. We recommend it as the

Soup or Cutting Celery 



This is not suitable for blanching 

 but the seed is sown thickly in 

 rows. The tops grow very rapidly 

 and furnish a succession of cut- 

 tings throughout the season. The 

 stalks are cut when three or four 

 inches high for use as flavoring 

 for soups or stews. Pkt. 8c,

CELERIAC 



OR TURNIP ROOTED CELERY 



In this kind of celery, the roots have 

 been developed by cultivation and 

 not the leafstalks. The roots, which 

 are the 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.

Celeriac, Large Smooth Prague 



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, trans- 

 plant or thin to about one foot apart. They are ready for use in six to 

 ten weeks from sowing. 



Ci •• This very finely curled, double sort is much superior to the 

 uriea plain variety, being early maturing, handsomer and having 

 fully as fine fragrance and flavor. (Can not supply) 



PHIl ORY-s-I »*•«•*» Prtsvf-Arl *-»*» Crxffag* The dried and prepared roots are much used as a substitute for 

 viuvv/£\l i-drgc i\ooiea or VOiree 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. (Can not supply) 



fl-flX/F^-*— Allium ^rnnpnnnraenm An onion-like plant used as a salad and for flavoring soups. It also 

 w 11 v J_-„J rtlilUi " ►JWiucnoprdfeUm 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. (Can not supply)
