CELERY 



JE^S^fitANGHlNG 



fiasy Blanchingf. [See cut.) A new variety of Celery-with 

 remarkable easy-blanching characteristics and useful both for 

 early use and for keeping during the winter months, a quality 

 which is extremely valuable in a Celery to be grown for 

 market. The plants make a quick, healthy growth and the 

 stalks are thick, very tender and brittle, with a rich flavor 

 which will quickly appeal to all who eat it, and the ease with 

 which it may be blanched, together with its long season for 

 use, will strongly recommend it to the commercial Celery 

 Grower. Our seed of this Celery is the true variety. Oz., 

 ^1.40; % lb., $4.25; lb. ^15. 00. 



Perfected White Plume. We offer a choice strain of 

 this valuable and popular variety. It is ready for use ahead 

 of all other varieties and is unsurpassed for fall and early 

 winter use. The leaves are bright green with white tips and 

 as the plants grow to maturity the inner stalks and leaves 

 turn white, thus making very little earthing up necessary to 

 thoroughly blanch it. The flavor is good and it is a fine 

 celery for early marketing, for which purpose it is largely 

 used. Oz., 30 cts. ; % lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



Boston Market. This variety is very popular among the 

 celery growers living near Boston. It is of a very mild flavor, 

 extremely tender and crisp. It forms a cluster of heads in- 

 stead of a single large one, and should be blanched by earthing 

 up. Oz , 25 cts.; ^ lb., 70 cts. ; lb., J52.25. 



Golden Self-Blanehing. An early sort, requir- 

 ing but little labor to blanch. Plants medium size and 

 make a stocky growth; heart is rich golden yellow, with 

 light yellowish-green outer leaves; quality and flavor 

 excellent. American grown seed. Oz. , 75 cts.; ^ 

 lb., I2.25; lb., I8.00. 



Orig-inator'h Golden Self- Blanching. 



( French-giown seed.) Much more reliable than the 

 American- grown seed and produces a more solid stalk, 

 but the general character is the same. The seed we 

 furnish was grown for us by the originator, in France, 

 and is the best that can be procured. Oz. , $1.25; 

 % lb., $3.50; lb., $12.00. 



Golden-Half Dwarf. An excellent half dwarf 

 variety, stalks large and full ; the heart is golden yel- 

 low, turning to a light color when blanched. Very solid, 

 good keeper. Oz., 25 cts.; ^ lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



Columbia. An exceptionally fine variety which is of 

 desirable size and shape. The plant is of medium 

 height, but very stocky; stalks almost round and re- 

 semble Giant Pascal in shape, but are a rich yellow 

 color; remarkably crisp and fine flavored. It matures 

 early and its exquisite flavor and crispness will please 

 the most critical. Oz , 35 cts.; % lb., |l.oo; lb., 

 $3 SO. 



Winter King. This excellent long-keeping Celery 

 is very desirable for winter use, as it may be left in 

 trench for a long time. The growth is stocky, stalks 

 broad and blanch up beautifully. The flavor is fine, 

 being crisp and tender. Oz., 35 cts.; % lb., $1.00 ; 

 lb., JI3.50. 



Winter Queen. Valuable, particularly on account 

 of its excellent winter-keeping qualities. It grows a 

 very thick, solid and heavy stalk, and has a large heart. 

 It is creamy white and very attractive when bunched. 

 Oz., 30 cts.; % lb., 80 cts.; lb., I2.75. 



Giant Pascal. A superior keeping sort. The stalks 

 are thick, solid, crisp and of rich nutty flavor; it 

 blanches very easily and retains its freshness a long 

 time. Oz., 25 cts.; % lb., 70 cts.; lb., I2.25.

 Celery, producing large stalks, and magnificent bright 

 golden yellow heart. The stalks are very solid, brittle,
