Celery 



Crispheart. A new, high quality, early green celery

 branches. Full compact hearts of rich creamy color 

 and exceptional crispness and flavor. About the same

Golden Plume, Dreer's Special Strain. A select 

 stock producing robust, very full hearted, 

 compact, stocky plants with a wider, heavier 

 stalk than most strains of this type. Shows a 

 large percentage of "jumbo's" on good muck 

 soils, and its disease resisting qualities are 

 much in its favor. You can't go wrong on this. 

 Oz. $1.00; Y* lb. $3.90; lb. $15.00. 



Golden Flume, Non Bolting 1 . Of dwarf compact growth 

 with thick stalks, enclosing full hearts. Will resist

 stalks of fine flavor, blanching rich golden yellow. 

 This is the variety shipped East from California by 

 trainloads. Oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 



Giant Pascal. A superior keeping sort. Very compact 

 vigorous plants and probably the best winter variety. 

 The stalks are very broad and thick, solid, crisp, and 

 of rich nutty flavor. They blanch easily to a pale 

 yellow. Oz. 30c; Yi lb. 85c; lb. $3.00. 



Pascal, Utah or Golden Crisp. An excellent green 

 variety for fall use maturing about a week or 

 ten days earlier than Giant Pascal. Plants 

 grow stocky, full hearted and compact. The 

 stems are thick, solid, medium broad, and well 

 rounded. Of extra fine quality and flavor. 

 Oz. 75c; Yi lb. $2.25; lb. $8.00. 



Perfected Wliite Plume. This is ready for use ahead 

 of all other varieties. Unsurpassed for fall and early 

 winter use. Leaves are bright green with white tips 

 and as the plants grow the inner stalks and leaves 

 turn white, thus making very little earthing up 

 necessary to thoroughly blanch them. Very fine for 

 early market. Oz. 30c; Yi. lb. 85c; lb. $3.00. 



Winter Queen. Valuable, particularly on account of its 

 excellent winter-keeping qualities. It grows a very
