PARIS GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (best 

 Imported^. — One of the very best for general use. The 

 ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious 

 flavor, surpassed by no other variety, while it has the 

 decided merit of being self-blanching to a remarkable 

 degree. The heart is large, solid, and of a rich golden 

 yellow color. Do not fail to give this variety a trial.
