 corn grown, even earlier than the Extra Early Adams.

 eral satisfaction as this after a few years' growth. It

 ties, but is also really superior to them all in size and

 today that will begin to equal Stowell's Evergreen. It

 rieties of celery seed and will be pleased to have your 

 orders. Special price on 5 lbs. or over.

 be grown will always make it a favorite. It requires 

 very little labor in growing, hut is Improved by earth- 

 ing up. The inner stalks are pure white, crisp and of 

 rich flavor. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c. : quarter lb., 60c. ; lb.,

WINTER QUEEN.— Winter Queen is a close, 

 compact dwarf or half dwarf celery, of about the same 

 size as Golden Self-Blanching : it has. in fact, many 

 traits of that variety, but a far better keeper. The 

 stalks are thick and heavy, with more heart than any 

 other variety. The leaves blanch to a beautiful creamy 

 white, and are firm and solid. The flavor Is sweet, 

 nutty and delicious. This is probably the most desir- 

 able winter celery grown ; will keep well until March.
