DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST. 



CELERY PLANTS. 



Giant Pascal Cei.eey. 



Now Ready. 



Celery requires a moist, rich soil, arid will not thrive 

 in poor soil and dry situations. After the plants have 

 attained a height of 5 or 6 inches they should he set out 

 in rows three feet apart and six inches in the row. 

 When twelve to fifteen inches high, the soil should be 

 loosened by the use of the plow or hoe and the plants be 

 ' ' handled ' ' This operation consists of drawing the 

 stems upright with one hand, and pressing the soil 

 firmly against the plant with the other ; by this process 

 the plants grow upright and can be easily cultivated and 

 blanched by drawing the soil close up to the plant. 

 Celery should receive thorough cultivation if good results 

 are desired. To store for winter use, select well-drained 

 ground, dig trenches 1 foot wide and deep enough to 

 cover the tops of the plants. Pack the stalks in this in 

 an upright position, covering with boards to shed the 

 water, and in severe weather protect with straw or 

 leaves. 



Golden Dwarf. 



A standard variety of great merit. In size it is the 

 same as the half dwarf kinds ; the heart is large, full, 

 and of a fine golden yellow color. 50 cents per 100. 

 $4.00 per 1000. 



Boston Market. 



An excellent half dwarf sort of vigorous and bushy 

 habit, producing many side shoots. Blanches perfectly 

 white, is very sweet, crisp, and of excellent flavor. 50 

 cents per 100. $4.00 per 1000. 



Dreer's White Solid. 



The best of the large growing sorts. Stalks firm, white and sweet, will not become pithy if grown on 

 moist soil. It grows to a large size and blanches readily. 50 cents per 100. $4.00 per 1000. 



White Plume. 



This exceeds all the other sorts as an ornament, while its qualities are equal to the very best, being crisp, 

 solid, and having that nutty flavor peculiar to some of the red kinds. 50 cents per 100. $4.00 per 1000. 



NEW VARIETIES. 



Giant Pascal. A superior keeping sort. The 

 stalks are very large, thick, solid, crisp, and of a 

 rich nutty flavor, free from any trace of bitterness ; 

 it blanches very easily and quickly, and retains its 

 freshness a long time after being marketed. The 

 heart is golden yellow, very full and attractive in 

 appearance. 



Golden Self- Blanching. An early, beautiful and 

 in every way desirable sort, requiring but little 

 labor to blanch. The heart is a rich golden yellow,

 compact habit, rich nutty flavor and an excellent 

 sort for table decoration. 



Perfection Heartwell. A large solid growing 

 variety of excellent flavor and a creamy white color. 

 In size it is between the Golden Dwarf and White 

 Solid. It will make an excellent market sort, as 

 the stalks are clear and attractive in color, and of 

 a size to influence purchasers.

 ties at 60 cents per 100.
