CELERY 



SUPERPLUME 



This new celery is somewhat like the well-known and well-liked Golden 

 Plume, but the stems are thicker, longer, meatier, and of better quality, 

 it is earlier, too, and because it stays in condition a long time, it is an 

 excellent celery to store for fall and early winter use. 



Superplume is firm, crisp, and free from strings. It blanches easily to a 

 clear, deep cream. 



Pkts. 1 5c (Pkts. only)

 firm heads are medium in size. It is earlier than most other
