5 e This is considered the most attractive in color and the best in quality of any of the late keeping sorts. 
Winter Reliance The plants are moderately dwarf, erect and compact, with solid heart. The habit of growth is very 
well adapted for late keeping. When ready for the late market the stalksare a very attractive light creamy yellow. The quality 
is unsurpassed by any variety of its class and is decidedly superior to most of the older, long keeping sorts. We recommend it 
as the best variety for the late market. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; 2 Oz. 75c; % Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.75 
> A late maturing variety which keeps the best of any celery yet introduced. The growth is compact 
French Ss Success and short in stem so that the plants may be well earthed up for blanching while growing close to- 
gether. The foliage is dark green. The heart is large, solid and is formed early. The stalks become when blanched almost 
white or very light creamy yellow, thick, yet brittle, without stringiness and of good quality. It requires more time to 
mature than some sorts but remains firm, solid and in fine condition until latein the spring. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; 2 Oz. 75c;

CELERIAC or Turnip Rooted Celery 
In this kind of celery, the roots have been developed by cultivation and not the leaf-stalks. The roots, which are edible 
portion, keep well for winter use and are excellent for soups and stews. They are also cooked and sliced as a salad. 
Sow seed at the same season and give the same treatment as common celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows two 
feet apart and sixinches apart in row. Give thorough culture. It is not necessary toearth up or “handle” the plants. After 
the roots have attained a diameter of two inches, they are fit for use. 
To keep through the winter pack indamp earth or sand and put in the cellar or leave out of doors, covering with earth and 
straw like beets and carrots.

CHERVIL 
A hardy annual with aromatic leaves somewhat resembling parsley and by many considered superior to it in flavor. The young 
leaves are used in soups and for flavoring and garnishing meats and vegetables. 
Sow in early spring in rich, well prepared soil. The seed is slow to germinate, sometimes remaining in the earth four or five 
weeks before the plants appear. When the plants are about two inches high, transplant or thin to about one foot apart. They 
are ready for use in six to ten weeks from sowing.

Large ooted or Coffee eaves may be used asaspring salad. Ourstock isthe improved type, with very much 
larger, smoother, whiter and proportionately shorter roots than the old kind. ? 
Sow seed as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, in rather light, moderately rich soil, in drills two to two and 
one-half feet apart for either garden or field culture. When the plants are sufficiently large, thin to six inches apart in the row 
and cultivate well. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; %4 Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.25 
S ll R d ° The tops of this variety are very desirable for use as a salad. The leaves are 
ma ooted or Radichetta long, narrow, entire or slightly toothed and blanch readily when the plants are grown 
close together. The roots are long and slender, averaging about one-half inch in diameter and from six to eight inches long. 
Sow seed as early in spring as possible, preferably in wide strips or blocks. Deep, rich, loomy soil which has been manured 
the previous year is essential for the best results. Keep clear from weeds and thin sparingly. Where climate permits seed 
may be sown about mid-winter. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; % Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50 
Wi ] f (French Endive) The leaves and leaf-stems of this variety are blanched and used asa salad like Endive or Cos 
1tloOf Lettuce. 
Sow seed about one inch deep in the open ground in May or June in rows about eighteen inches apart. Thin plants to six 
inches apart in the row. In the fall the roots should be lifted, the leaves trimmed to within one and one-half inches of the 
crown, the side roots broken off and the roots shortened to a uniform length of about nine inches. The roots are then placed 
upright in a trench about eighteen inches deep, setting the roots about two inches apart and the crowns at a depth of about 
nine inches below the level of the top of the trench. Fill in the trench with fine rich soil. If more rapid growth is desired 
cover the rows with a mulch of manure about one and one-half feet deep. The new tops will attain the proper size in from 
four to six weeks. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; % Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00

CHIVES Allium Schoenoprasum an excellent ornamental garden bed edging which may frequently be cut, 
a new growth of leaves appearing soon after each cutting. The plants grow about ten inches high. One sowing will answer 
for about three years. Pkt.10c; Oz. $1.00; 2 Oz. $1.70; 14 Lb. $3.00 
COLLARDS 
This is a tall, loose leaved cabbage-like or kale-like plant grown throughout the south and known in different sections as 
“Cole,” “Colewort,” or simply ‘“‘Greens.” It is extensively used for the table as well as for stock feeding in the south where it 
continues in growth and is usable throughout the entire winter. Collards usually succeed in locations where cabbage cannot 
be grown to perfection. 
Sow the seed thickly tn drills, in rich ground, transplanting when about four inches high; or sow in drills where the plants 
are to remain and when well started thin to two or three feet apart inthe row. In the south, seed may be sown from January 
to May and from August to October.
