/ Perfection Hartwell. This variety is 

 in size between the Large White solid and 

 Dwarf kinds; it is of excellent quality, very 

 thick, and when blanched the heart is of a 

 beautiful golden y el low color; preferable to 

 the White Solid, and one of the best kinds 

 ever introduced. 



Dwarf I/arge Ribbed. This kind was 

 brought here several years ago from France. 

 It is short but very thick ribbed, solid and 

 of fine flavor. The best dwarf variety for 

 this section. 



Golden Self Blanching:. A French 

 variety, of the best quality. The heart is 

 solid, very tender, of a beautiful yellow 

 color; the ribs brittle and of a delicious 

 flavor. Cannot be too highly recommended, 



Large White Plume. A handsome, 

 thick ribbed variety lately introduced in 

 the South, ®f a yellowish white color and 

 very crisp and tender. It is easily bleached, 

 requiring but little earthing up, as the 

 •stalk, portions of the inner leaves and 

 heart are white naturally. The originator 

 claims that up to but a few years ago this 

 variety has always had a tendency to revert 

 to the old green type, and it 

 has always produced a propor- 

 tion of green plants, but per- 

 severing selection for years en- 

 ables them now to produce an 

 almost absolutely pure stock 

 far superior to any that has 

 •ever been offered. Our stock 

 was obtained from the origi- 

 nator. 



Giant Pascal. This is a 

 selection from the New Golden 

 Self-Blanching Celery; it par- 

 takes of the best qualities 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 

 distinctive features of this kind 

 It bleaches with but little earthing up 

 and very quickly, usually in five or six 

 days. 



Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted. Is very 



popular in some parts of Europe, but hard- 

 ly cultivated here. It should be sown in 

 the fall of the year, and transplanted six 



Perfection Hartwell Celery, 

 inches apart. When the roots have ob- 

 tained a good size, they are boiled, scraped 

 off, sliced and dressed with vinegar, etc., as 

 a salad. 



Celery for Soup. This is sown in the 

 spring of the year, broadcast, to be used 

 for seasoning the same as Parsley.
