>^ CELERY^ 



Witliout a doubt Celery is one of the most popu- 

 lar, attractive and desirable vegetables for the 

 table during the Fall and Winter. With good rich 

 soil, frequent cultivation, rapid growth and a 

 reasonable amount of care at the pioper time, the 

 culture of Celery is both easy and profitable. The 

 self-blanching sorts are of good growth, but do not 

 keep so well during the Winter as the strong 

 growing Winter varieties. Sow the Seed in hot 

 beds during February or March for the earliest 

 crop, and for the main crop seed should be planted 

 in the open ground as early in the Spring as the 

 so 1 can be worked. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING — This is the best early variety. It is ready for use nearly as early as White Plume, producing 



• dwarfer and larger bunches of broad, heavy stalks, of a deep, golden yellow. The plants are of dwarf, compact habit, 



with solid, heavy stalks. Grown m rich, moist soil, the stalks are numerous, with a large solid heart, and with golden 



yellow stalk* and leaves. Celery of this variety %vhen quickly grown is crisp, solid and brittle, free from stringiness and 



of a most delicious flavor. Per packet, 5 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; % lb., $1. 



WHITE PLUME.— The earliest and most easily blanched Celery in cul- 

 tivation for early use direct from the field, but not keeping well when 

 stored. It is of rapid growth, blanching easily during the Summer 

 months. Per packet, 5 cts.; oz., 2-5 cts.; Yx lb., 75 cts. 



WINTER QUEEN The best dwarf Winter Celery, similar to Golden 



Self-Blanching, hnt of the same rich green color as Giant Pascal. It 



produces large bunches of extra heavy stalks of even length, making 



a handsome appearance when 



bunched. The flavor of the stalks is 



of the best, and they are of a rich 



golden yellow when blanched. Per 



packet, 5 cts.: oz., 35 cts.; K lb.,?l.

GIANT PASCAL.— The standard 

 Winter sort. The broad, heavily 

 ribbed stalks keep splendidly when 

 stored. It is of strong, vigorous 

 growth and stocky habit, the leaf 

 stalks being solid, long and broad. 

 The color is rich, dark green, turn- 

 ing to a deep golden yellow when 

 blanched. Undoubtedly the most 

 profitable Winter sort owing to t he 

 immense size and heavy weight.
