GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



The Best for Winter Use. This is, with- 

 out douht, the most remarlvahle novelty in 

 Celery obtained since the introduction of the 

 Golden Self-Blanchimj, from which it is a sport, 

 carefull5^ established by skillful selection. It 

 partakes of all the rich, nutty flavor peculiar 

 to the Golden Sdf-Blanching, and is absolutely 

 free from any bitter taste. 



The illustration shows its handsome appear- 

 ance,— surpassing all other varieties in this 

 respect; and the stalks are remarTiablij lavge. 

 tliicli. solid and entirely stringless. It is the 

 largest Celery grown as regards width and 

 thickness of stalks. When fuUj grown the 

 outer stalks average two inches wide and are 

 nearly as thick as a man's finger. It is a very 

 vigorous grower; the outer stalks are green, 

 but the heart is a rich, bright yellow, even 

 without blanching. It blanches very easily, 

 requiring only five to nix days' earthing-up, when 

 the outer stalks present a beautiful clear- 

 white appearance. It is the best keeper of 

 ALiLi Celeries, and is without doubt, the 

 CELEBr for January and Febi-uary use. It is 

 most excellent for shipping, does nob rust or 

 rot, and the cells are so very free from the 

 presence of water that it always retains its 

 crisp, brittle appearance.

NEW PARIS PICKLING CIJCIJMBER. 



As will be seen from the illustration here- 

 with, the Paris Pickling is entirely distinct 

 from all sorts hitherto known, and without 

 exception, decidedly the best of all in quality 

 for pickling. The young Cucumbers, when 

 of the proper age for pickling, are slim and 

 slender, from three to five inches in length, 

 and the entire surface of the skin is covered 

 with delicate, hairy spines. When the un- 

 usually crisp, brittle character of the pickle 

 is Iviiowu it must surpass all others in popular 

 favor, -wliilc from the very first its unique 

 appearance will make it of great value in the 

 manufacture of chow chow and other mixed 

 pickles. Crispness is the great desideratum 

 of the Cucumber pickle, and the brittle 

 crispness of these little fruits equals that of 

 the best Snap Short Beans; so crisp and brit- 

 tle are they that they snap freely, and when 

 ready for pickling, show absolutely no sign of 

 ^ceds. The entire absence of seeds is a dis- 

 tinct feature that has never before been 

 obtained in Cucumbers, even the West India 

 Ghe7liins showing small seeds.
