CORNELL No. 19 (Main Crop Type) 



Developed and introduced by the New York State College of Agricul- 

 ture. A cross between Golden Self Blanching and Utah. An early, easy 

 blanching strain of outstanding quality, combining all the best quali- 

 ties of the Green Pascal celeries. Stalks are very long, smooth; 

 flesh thick, tender and without strings. The heart is well developed. 

 It is resistant to "yellows," and we recommend it especially for main 

 crop, as it tends to produce seeders if planted too early. Stalks blanch 

 quickly and hold up well in storage. Season 100 days.

SUPREME GOLDEN 



This is an outstanding new strain of the Dwarf Golden Self Blanching type. The 

 plants are compact, full hearted, rather blocky at the base, and slightly 

 taller than Dwarf Golden Self Blanching. The stalks are broad, fairly thick, and 

 the stems overlap evenly around the plant. The width of the stalk extends well up 

 to the first joint which is 7 to 10 inches from the base. The plants when mature 

 are easily blanched to a clear, creamy white. Celery growers will find this new 

 strain a decided improvement over Dwarf Golden Self Blanching. Season

Green Varieties 



EASY BLANCHING 



This excellent, early variety possesses all the qualities that give Self Blanching 

 celeries their value. It blanches early, and quicker than most early types, yet 

 when put away green, is one of the longest keeping varieties. Plants very 

 vigorous, erect, compact, and of medium height. Stalks thick, very solid, of the 

 highest quality and flavor. Season 110 days. y> jl jl

 PRIZEHEART 



This is one of the most desirable early green varieties we have ever seen. It 

 matures fully as early as Easy Blanching. The plants possess exceptional vigor 

 and average about 25 inches in height. An added advantage of this new variety 

 is that the plants are very full hearted. The stalks are about 9 inches to the first 

 joint, rather broad, thick and quite smooth. Henderson's Prizeheart, although a 

 green variety, blanches readily and the only trace of green remaining is a slight 

 tinge on the outer stalks. The stems are very crisp and free from strings. The 

 quality of this new variety is remarkable. Season 110 days.
