TWO SELECTED CELERY SPECIALTIES 



Columbia 



No better Celery has ever been 

 produced than our strain of this 

 sterling variety which was intro- 

 duced by us in 1906. Those who 

 know Celery at its best, gardeners 

 who get the highest price for their 

 product and connoisseurs who pre- 

 fer to go without rather than eat 

 Celery of inferior quality, have long 

 recognized our strain of Golden 

 Self Blanching as without a superior. 

 To this discriminating clientage we 

 commend our strain of Columbia as 

 being the peer of Golden Self 

 Blanching. It comes into use only a 

 trifle later and is very vigorous and 

 hardy. In beauty of golden color 

 and soliditj' and size of stalk it is un- 

 surpassed. In delicacy of flavor 

 Columbia is considered by many to 

 surpass Golden Self Blanching. Try 

 our strain of Columbia. We consider 

 it the very best variety for the home 

 garden. (See cut on this page and 

 fuHher description, page 28) Pkt. 5c; 



Oz. 75c; 2 Oz. $1.25; 1/4 Lb. $2.00; Lb. $7.00 



Golden Yellow Self 

 Blanching 



This standard variety is the one 

 grown much more extensively than 

 any other sort for early use. Our 

 stock has been very carefully selected 

 and grown. It is the very best ob- 

 tainable. {See cut and further des- 

 cription, page 28) Pkt. 5c; Oz. $1.65; 

 2 Oz. $2.85; V4 Lb. $5.25; Lb. $20.00 



CoLUMBfA Celery 



Copenhagen Market 

 Cabbage 



The earliest large round-headed 

 cabbage yet introduced. The heads 

 are of exceptionally large size for so 

 early a variety. The plant is of vig- 

 orous habit but compact, with 

 short stem and few outer leaves 

 which are of rather upright growth. 

 The leaves are medium light green, 

 nearly round, comparatively thick 

 and smooth. The heads are round, 

 very solid and of exceptionally good 

 quality. Its earliness, compact 

 growth, evenness of maturing, uni- 

 formity and size of head, firmness 

 and most excellent quality combine to make Copenhagen Market the most valuable cabbage of recent intro- 

 duction. We recommend it unreservedly both for the home garden and the market gardening trade. {See 



colored plate, page 2j) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 60c; 2 Oz. $1.00; V4 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00 



May King Lettuce 



We are convinced by many trials of American and European lettuces that May King is the best extremely 

 early heading sort yet introduced. Grown under glass this variety matures a handsome, light green head 

 fully as early as any of the strictly forcing sorts which are generally, however, practically worthless for out- 

 door culture. Grown outdoors May King can be depended upon as the earliest of all to form a marketable 

 head. Plant very compact for so large a head. Among extra early sorts it is unsurpassed in quality and we 

 have no hesitation in recommending it for forcing under glass and as the best extra early sort for growing 

 out of doors. (See further description, page j6) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; V4 Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.75 



Giant Crimson Pepper 



The earliest maturing and most productive very large sweet pepper. The plant is vigorous and upright, 

 growing two and one-half to three feet high, larger than that of Chinese Giant and more productive. The 

 fruits are rich deep crimson when mature. The flesh is very mild and exceptionally thick. We consider 

 Giant Crimson the most desirable very large pepper yet introduced. {See cut and further description, page ^g)
