YELLOW VARIETIES (Cont.) Plants 



GOLDEN PLUME 4162 (New Strain) 85 



Our improved strain, bred to fill the need for a taller, longer stemmed Golden 

 Plume. Retains earliness and ease of blanching of original strain but is more compact 

 in form, straighter, and better "shingled"; much better adapted to standard crate. 

 Heavy producer. Normally 24 to 26 inches tall with stems JVz to 8V2 inches long 

 and hearts full. 



RESISTANT GOLDEN PLUME (8C3). A Ferry-Morse Development 85 



Similar to Golden Plume 4162 but highly resistant to Fusarium Yellows. Plants are 

 tall, normally 25 to 27 inches in height, compact and straight. Blanches easily and 

 has full hearts — stems 7^2 to 8y2 inches long — are thick, solid and of fine quality. 



SUPERPLUME (Our 1938 Introduction) 80 



Similar in size and general appearance to Golden Plume, but has thicker, longer, 

 meatier stems of better quality. Edible portion of stem 7 to 9 inches to first joint. 

 Texture remarkably good, very firm yet crisp, and comparatively free from strings. 

 Blanches easily to attractive, light cream. Not resistant to fusarium yellows. 



SUPREME GOLDEN (Our 1937 Introduction) 85 



The newest development in the Golden Self Blanching class. Meets the demand for 

 celery with longer edible stems. Height 22 to 27 in.; stems 8 to 10 in. to first joint. 

 The compact, well formed plants pack well in the crate. Earlier and taller than 

 Golden Detroit. Well adapted to Florida for winter crop and to northern districts 

 for main crop. Outstanding for length and fullness of hearts. 



TALL GOLDEN YELLOW SELF BLANCHING 85 



Our selection from the original, true French strain. Very early. Desirable for 

 shipping under special conditions though not so firm as the dwarf types. Plants tall, 

 20 to 30 inches, stalks medium thick, blanch very readily. Its chief value lies in the 

 fact that it is JfuUy a month earlier than the Dwarf variety. 



TALL NON-BOLTING GOLDEN PLUME (Our Introduction) 90 



This strain grows taller and faster than the original type introduced by us some 

 years ago. Its ability to withstand low temperatures without bolting make it the most 

 satisfactory of the Golden Plume strains for growing imder certain unfavorable 

 conditions. 8Va to 9 inches to joint; 26 to 27 inches overall height.
