COLE'S CELERY SEED 



27 



CELERY 



Ger. Selleric. Fr. Celeri. 

 One ounce will produce 4000 plants. 



This is one of the best, ' if not the finest, of salad 

 plants. Although largely gro'um at the present time, 

 still its production should be greatly increased. It 

 may be grown in any garden with very little labor. 

 Sow seed during March or April in hot-bed, or in 

 a box in the house, or in the open ground in moist, 

 rich soil. When sown in the open ground it \ege- 

 tates slowly. When the plants are four to eix inches 

 high, transplant in rows three feet apart and six 

 inches apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch three 

 or four times during their growth, takirg care that 

 no earth falls in the center of the plant. Take up 

 ihe plants late in the fall, just before winter sets in, 

 and remove to the cellar and cover with sand or 

 earth, for future use.

NEW PINK PLUME. The stalks of this 

 Celery are of clear, creamy white., shaded with a 

 beautiful, delicate pink. In flavor, it is sweeter 

 than any other. It has the long keeping qualities 

 for which the red Celeries are noticeable, and the 

 faint tint of pink makes it wonderfully attractive 

 for table use. It has no tendency to rust, and ow- 

 ing to its white tops maturoe and blanches as early 

 as the famous White Plume. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 20 cts., ^ lb. 60 cts. 



WHITE PLUME. Each j^ear adds to the 

 popularity and value of this variety. It requires 

 very little earthing up to blanch it. Its eating 

 qualities are equal to the very best other sorts, 

 being crisp, solid and of a rich nutty flavor. It is 

 a good keeper up to the holiday season, and for 

 early use is more extensively grown for market 

 than any other sort. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 

 ^ lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. This fine 



variety with its rich, golden yellow color, its 

 close habit and compact growth, and the readiness 

 with which it is bleached and rendered marketable, 

 make it invaluable to the gardener and exceedingly 

 popular with every planter. Tlie entire stalk is 

 solid, crisp, and although not as early, a much 

 better keeper than the White Plume. Per pkt. 5 

 cts., oz. 25 cts., 14 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



GOLDEN ROSE. This beautiful new Cel- 

 ery is a sport from the well known Golden Self- 

 blanching and retains all the good qualities of this 

 famous variety. It has the same beautiful, rich 

 golden yellow color, is self-blanching to the B?.me 

 remarkable degree, and differs only in the color of 

 the ribs. These are of a very attractive shade of 

 rose. The plant is dwarf and heavy, the stalks are 

 very broad and solid, and are entirely free from 

 any stringiness. It is of the very finest table qual- 

 itv. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % lb. 75 ct^. 



EVANS' TRIUMPH. One of the best late 

 sorts, of superb quality. It has a compact habit 

 of growth and one of the best keepers remaining 

 in condition much longer than most sorts. It is 

 not only a splendid keeper, but the very large 

 solid stalhs are of the finest texture and quality, 

 crisp, brittle, tender and really nut-like flavor and 

 has a stronger celery taste than any other variety.

Giant Pascal Celery 



GIANT-PASCAL. This late variety of 

 celery is a selection from the Golden Self-Blanch-

 parent, superior keeping qualities. The stalks are 

 very large, thick, solid, crisp, and of a rich nuttj 

 flavor, free from any trace of bitterness; it 

 blanches very easily and quickly and retains its 

 freshness a long time after being marketed. The 

 heart is golden yellow, and very full. For mid- 

 winter and earlv spring u^^e, cannot be excelled.
