MEW EASY-BLANCHING CELERY 



AN EARLY-MATURING, LONG-KEEPING VARIETY WHICH IS BLANCHED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY 



We here offer something entirely different from either the early 

 self-blanching varieties or the late green sorts. This good Celery 

 will mature just after the Golden Self-blanching season is over. 

 The general color is pale green, with a slight yellowish tinge 

 which gives it a blanched appearance. The inner stalks, at a 

 very early stage of growth, blanch to a rich golden yellow so that 

 the usual banking work is eliminated. 



New Easy-Blanching is a very strong-growing Celery, and if 

 properly stored, will keep all winter without difficulty. Its quality 

 is ideal, being entirely free from any toughness or stringiness and 

 having a really aromatic flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. $1.50, Vi'b. 

 $5, lb. $18. 



196 Winter Queen 



One of the old standard winter Celeries. Its main points of 

 excellence are its splendid keeping qualities and the magnificent 

 quality of the blanched Celery after it is brought out from the 

 pit. Winter Queen has a larger heart than any other sort listed. 

 It has broad, heavy stalks which are of convenient length for 

 packing. Advised for either home or market use. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 25 cts., y 4 lb. 85 cts., lb. $2.50. 



198 Giant Pascal! 



A good variety for fall and early winter use. Its good quality 

 is shown in the fact that it is so tender and crisp that it has to be 

 handled with great care to prevent breaking. The stalk is of 

 medium length and blanches to a beautiful whitish yellow color. 

 The stalks are very thick and nearly round in the upper portions 

 but are flattened out toward the base. A green-leaved variety 

 which was developed some years ago from Golden Sell-blanching, 

 and is recommended either for home or market use. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 25 cts., y 4 lb. 85 cts., lb. $2.50.

S. S. Late Winter King 



A late green Celery particularly well adapted to muck-land. 

 It is a quick grower and will blanch in ample time for the Thanks- 

 giving and Christmas markets. Its growth is rather short; stalks 

 heavy and robust with joints well up on the outer leaves, thus 

 making a very attractive variety for the market. It is absolutely 

 free of pithy, stringy stalks, and is of splendid quality. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 40 cts., V 4 lb. $1.25, lb. $4. 



New Easy-Blanching Celery 



203 Columbia 



An early-maturing Celery resembling the Golden Self-blanching in many particulars. The round, thick stalks are of the Pascal 

 shape. When properly blanched, the heart is a beautiful, light golden yellow. It will mature close after the Golden Self-blanching 

 and is recommended for all purposes. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 40 cts., Vilb. $1.25, lb. $4. 



208 Sutton's Prize Pink 



A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VARIETY FOR THE HOME-GARDEN 



We cannot say too much for the quality of this splendid English Celery. We believe from our trials that it is the finest-flavored 

 of any of the red Celeries. Without any hesitation, we would say that it is the most delicious in flavor of any Celery we ever had 

 on our table. Sutton's Prize Pink grows to a medium height and is blanched without serious difficulty. Where market-gardeners 

 have a private trade, where quality counts above everything else, this Celery will make a bigger hit than anything they could pos- 

 sibly do for their constituents. The slightly tinted stalks make a very attractive appearance when served. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 40 cts., 

 l/ 4 lb. $1.40, lb. $5. 



CELERIAC (Turnip-Rooted Celery) 

 209 Giant Prague 



This variety is the most popular among American Celeriac-growers. The roots, globular in shape, are comparatively smooth, 

 and we consider it the most satisfactory sort to be had. Celeriac is used in salads or boiled the same as carrots or parsnips. It is a 

 high-class vegetable and deserves much wider recognition by all classes of growers. It should receive about the same treatment as 

 celery. Plant in rows 2 feet apart and 6 inches apart in the row. Roots should be used when about 2 inches in diameter. Giant 

 Prague will be found a good keeper if properly packed under ground or in a dry cellar. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., l /^h. 60 cts., lb. $2.
