ose Ribbed Paris 



AJS^D OF sple:ndiij quality. 



In isreneral character this sort resembles the Golden Yellow 



Large Solid from which it originated, but the plant is more 



compact, the stalks a little larger and the upper portions, par- 



ticularlj' of the heart stems, are a richer, deeper jellow. 



The stalks are most beautifully tinted with red at the V^ase. 



The plant is stout and vigorous and as self-blanching as any 



variety in cultivation. The leaves are broad, the outer ones dark 



green, but becoming more yellow toward the center until those of 



the heart are deep yellow. Though the ribs are prominent the 



stalks are practically stringless and wonderfully crisp, tender and 



good flavored. They are large and thick. In color they are a 



\ery rich and waxlike yellow tinted with pink at the base which 



deepens into a carmine line along the ridges. 



We have carefully tested this sor-t and 

 we believe it to be one of the most va1u« 

 able kinds in cultivation both for the 

 home garden and those markets which 

 demand vegetables of high quality. 

 No celery grower or market gardener 

 should fail to grow it extensively as its 

 remarkable beauty alone will give it 

 ready sale wherever offered.

Rose Ribbed Paris Celery. 



w 



hite Plume... 



While we are fully aware that this variety 

 has great merit as an early market sort, being as early as any 

 and very attractive when fit for use. yet we do not think that it 

 compares favorably with the Golden Yellow Large Solid either 

 in flavor or solidity, or that it will remain in condition for use as 

 long after it is earthed up. Plants light yellowish-green with tips 

 of leaves almost w^hite As they mature the inner stems and 

 leaves turn white, and require to be earthed up but a short time 

 before they are in condition for use. 



Where a fine appearing celery at a 

 minimum amount of labor is the object, 

 this variety will give entire satisfaction. 



An Improved AVhite Plume is being offered, but careful com- 

 parison with our stock fails to show that it is equal to that we 

 offer. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 3oc; ^ Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00 



Giant Pascal Celery. 



Giant Pascal-*- 



This is a green leaved varietj^ developed from the Golden 

 Yellow Large Solid, and is an excellent sort for fall and winter 

 use. It blanches very quickly to a beautiful yellowish-white color, 

 is very solid and crisp and of a fine nutty flavor. The stalks grow 

 broad and thick, a single plant making a large bunch. With rich 

 soil and high culture this variety will be wholly satisfactory. 

 Especially recommended for the south where it is prized more 

 than almost any other kind. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 36c; H Lb.
