COLE'S CELERY SEED 



27 



CELERY 



Ger. Selleric. Fr. Celeri 

 One ounce will produce 1,000 plants 



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

 I'lants. Although largely grown at the present time, 

 still its production should be greatly increased. It 

 may be gi'own 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 vege- 

 tates slowly. When the plants are four to six 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, taking care that 

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

 the 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 matures and blanches as early 

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

 20 cts., % lb. 60 cts. 



WHITE PLUME. Each year 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., 

 14 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. The 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 same 

 remarkable degree, and differs only in the coloi- 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 stringness. It is of the very finest table qual- 

 ity. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % lb. 75 cts. 



EVAN'S' 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 stalks are of the finest textm-e and quality, 

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

 has a stronger celery taste than any other variety. 

 Per pkt. 6 cts., oz. 20 cts., % lb. 50 cts. 



Giant Pascal Celery 



GIANT-PASCAL. This late variety of ^ 



celery is a selection from the Golden Self-Biancli- 

 ing, and adds to the general good qualities of its 

 parent, superior keeping qualities. The stalks are 

 very large, thick, solid, ci-isp, and of a rich nutty 

 flavor, free from any trace of bitterness; it blanches 

 verv 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 

 early spring use, cannot be excelled. Per pkt. 5 

 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



DWARF GOLDEN HEART. In the great 



celery growing district this variety is planted to 

 the exclusion of almost all others. When blanch- 

 ed the heart is of a waxy golden yellow, rendering 

 it a most attractive and showy variety; entirely 

 solid, of excellent flavor, and one of the best keep- 

 ers during the winter. Per pkt. 4 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 14 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



CELERIAC, or TURNIP-ROOTED CEL- 

 ERY. A variety of Celery having tur- 

 nip-shaped roots, which may be cooked and sliced 

 and used with vinegar, making a most excellent 

 salad. It is more hardy, and may be treated in 

 the same manner as celery. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 20 cts. 



OLD CELERY SEED. For flavoring 



soups, pickles, etc. Per oz. 5 cts., i/4 lb. 15 cts., 

 lb. 40 cts.
