DREER'S MARKET GARDENERS' WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 



CELERY 



Golden Plume Celery- 

 Boston Market. Popular in New England markets. 

 Extremely tender and crisp. It forms a cluster of 

 heads instead of a single larg-e one, and should be 

 bleached by earthing up. 

 Oz., 25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 



Columbia. An exceptionally fine early variety. The 

 plant is of medium height, but very stocky; stalks 

 almost round and resemble Giant Pascal in shape, 

 but are a rich yellow color; remarkably crisp and 

 fine flavored. Recommended for early use only. 

 Oz., 25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 



Drecr's Monarch. A decided acquisition in green 

 Celery, producing large stalks, with bright golden 

 yellow heart. The stalks are very solid, brittle and 

 of most delicious flavor. 

 Oz., 50 cts.; 14 lb., $1.50; lb., .$5.00. 



Easy Blanching. A very select strain and easily the 

 finest of any of this type. Useful both for early use 

 and for keeping during winter. The plants make a 

 quick, healthy growth to a large size and the stalks 

 are thick, blanch pure white, very tender and brit- 

 tle, with a rich flavor. Good keeper. 

 Oz., $1.40; 14 lb., $4.25; lb., .$15.00. 



Elmperor. A splendid dwarf type, 16 to 18 Inches high, 

 stalks smooth and thick, with many plants weigh- 

 ing 2 pounds or more. Blanches white with light 

 yellow heart. 

 Oz„ 50 cts.; 14 lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 



Giant Pascal. A superior keeping sort. Very com- 

 pact vigorous plants and probably the best winter 

 variety. The stalks are thick, solid, crisp and of 

 rich nutty flavor and blanch easily to a pale yellow. 

 Oz.. 30 cts.; 14 lb., 85 cts.; lb., .$3.00. 



Golden Plume. Large robust plants, easily blanched, 

 and practically blightproof. Similar in some respects 

 to the Golden self-blanching varieties, but produces 

 a much heavier stalk with a more solid heart. Its 

 disease-resisting qualities are also much in its 

 favor. 

 % oz., $1.25; oz., $2.00; % lb., $7.00; lb., $25.00. 



Golden Self-Blancliing, Originator's. (French-grown 

 seed.) A splendid early Celery requiring but little 

 labor to blanch. Grows to a large size and makes 

 vigorous growth; heart is rich golden-yellow with 

 light yellowish-green outer stalks. The quality is 

 excellent, being crisp and tender. We offer the new 

 tall strain and would advise that when setting out 

 plants of this variety, to allow more room than for 

 other sorts. 

 Oz., $1.25; 14 lb., $3.50; lb., ,$12.00. 



Golden Self-BIanching'. (American-grown seed.) Sim- 

 ilar to above but slightly shorter. Stalks solid, and 

 fine fiavor, blanching rich golden yellow^. This is 

 the variety shipped by trainloads East, from Cali- 

 fornia. 

 Oz., 75 cts.; 14 lb., $2.25; lb., $8.00. 



Perfected White Plume. We offer a choice strain of 

 this valuable and popular variety. It is ready for 

 use ahead of all other varieties and unsurpassed for 

 fall and early winter use. The leaves are bright 

 green with white tips and as the plants grow to 

 maturity the inner stalks and leaves turn white, 

 thus making very little earthing up necessary to 

 thoroughly blanch it. The flavor is good and it is a 

 fine celery for early marketing, for which purpose 

 it is largely used. 

 Oz., 30 cts.; Vi lb., 85 cts.; lb., .$3.00. 



Winter ttueen. Valuable, particularly on account of 

 its excellent winter-keeping qualities. It grows a 

 very thick, solid and heavy light green stalk, and 

 has a large heart. Blanches a creamy-white and 

 very attractive when bunched. 

 Oz., .30 ets.; % lb., S5c.; lb., .$3.00.
