ri , rp . 1 We consider this the best 



JbvanS l riumpn in quaUty of the large, late 

 sorts. The variety produces a very strong and 

 vigorous plant with large very white, crisp, tender 

 and fine flavored stalks. It is late and requires the 

 whole season to develop but will keep well for a long 

 time and has proven to be a very popular late 

 variety. When properly grown a dozen plants 

 trimmed for market will weigh nearly twice as 

 much as the same number of some smaller and 

 earlier sorts. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 35c; 2 Oz. 40c;

 ri 1 > c Keeps the best of any celery 



r rench S bUCCeSS yet introduced. Growth 

 compact and short in stem so that plants may be 

 well earthed up for blanching while growing close 

 together. Foliage dark green; heart large, solid and 

 formed early; stalks white, thick, yet brittle, without 

 stringiness and of good quality. It requires more 

 time to mature than some sorts but remains firm, 

 solid and in perfect condition until late in the 

 spring. We recommend it as the best variety for 

 the late market. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 30c; 3 Oz. 65c;

FRENCH'S Success 



CELERIAC, or Turnip Rooted Celery 



Sow the seed at the same season and give the same treatment 

 as common celery. Transplant the young plants to moist, rich 

 soil, in rows two feet apart and six inches apart in the row. 

 Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion 

 of this vegetable, it is not necessary to earth up or "handle" 

 it. After the roots have attained a diameter of two inches or 

 over, they are fit for use. To keep through winter pack in 

 damp earth or sand and put in the cellar or leave out of doors, 

 covering with earth and straw like beets and carrots.
