CELERY 



Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing (Stokes Stand- 



ai> f]\ 115 days. Because 

 of the importance 

 of this variety to commer- 

 cial g- r o w e r s, we offer 

 proven stock only. By this 

 we mean seed that has 

 been carried over for one 

 year and tested commer- 

 cially and found to be fully 

 up to specifications. Our 

 standard strain is a very 

 vig-orous grower and for 

 this reason is not suscept- 

 ible to blight. It is of good 

 eating and keeping quality, 

 the heavy solid stalks add- 

 ing greatly to its value. 

 Oz., 70c; % lb., $2.50; lb., 

 $10.00. 



Easy Blanching 

 (Stokes Standard). 



125 days. Since the intro- 

 duction of this type of cel- 

 ery nine years ago, there 

 have been many different 

 strains and names for it. 

 Of some the quality has 

 been very good, but of 

 many it has not been what 

 it should have been. Ow- 

 ing to the importance of 

 this variety to the com- 

 mercial celery grower, we 

 have made arrangements 

 for a seed supply which we 

 believe is unsurpassed by 

 any offered in this coun- 

 try. From every point of 

 view our stock will be con- 

 sidered one of the most 

 valuable ever offered. The 

 stalks are full hearted and 

 of a light golden color. 

 They will blanch very 

 quickly with either boards 

 or paper. Easy Blanching 

 will mature just after 

 Golden Self-Blanching has 

 been harvested. We cannot 

 speak too highly of this 

 strain. Oz., $1.35; % lb., 

 $5.00; lb., $20.00. 



125 Days. A variety of beautiful appearance because of the con- 

 trasting- white and green color of the leaves but, nevertheless, of 

 rather poor eating qualities. It is rather slender in stalk formation. In order to give 

 it the very best appearance the plants should be artificially blanched before being offered 

 for sale. Oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (x l/ 3 ) 



White Plume. 



Columbia. 



Winter King. 



130 Days. This variety resembles Golden Self-Blanching in many par- 

 ticulars, maturing soon after that variety. Its round, thick stalks are of 

 the Pascal type and when properly blanched the heart is a beautiful light golden color. 

 The edible qualities of Columbia are almost unsurpassed. Oz., 25c; *4 lb., 85c; lb., $3.00. 



150 Days. This is one of the most important winter varieties, being 

 ready for market shortly after Christmas and, if properly stored, 

 will keep all winter. The plants are characterized for their robust growth, tall stalks 

 with high joints and a rich light golden heart. The stock offered can be relied upon by 

 the most critical growers. Oz., 20c; % ib., 60c; lb., $2.00. 



CELERIAC 



f«ianf Pr»<m*» 159 Da ys. There is always a constant, even though limited, demand 

 VJiaiu l I ague f or turnip-rooted celery. The roots of Giant Prague are globular in 

 shape, comparatively smooth and of the best quality, averaging about 2y 2 inches in diam- 

 eter. It will be found a good keeper if stored under proper conditions. Celeriac should 

 receive almost the same culture as celery, being planted in rows 2 feet apart and about 6 

 inches apart in the row. Oz., 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.50.
