New Easy-Blanching Celery 



AN EARLY-MATURIINU, LONG-KEEPIINO VARIETY WHICH IS BLANCHED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY 



We here offer something entirely different from either the early 

 self-blanching varieties or the late green sorts. This good Celery 

 will mature just after the Golden Self-blanching season is over. 

 The general color is pale green, with a slight yellowish tinge 

 which gives it a blanched appearance. The inner stalks, at a 

 very early stage of growth, blanch to a rich golden yellow so that 

 the usual banking work is eliminated. 



New Easy-Blanching is a very strong-growing Celery, and if 

 properly stored will keep all winter without difficulty. Its quality 

 is ideal, being entirely free from any toughness or stringiness and 

 having a really aromatic flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. $1, Vi^t). $3, 

 lb. $10. 



196 vVinter Queen 



One of the old standard winter Celeries. Its main points of 

 excellence are its splendid keeping qualities and the magnificent 

 quality of the blanched Celery after it is brought out from the 

 pit. Winter Queen has a larger heart than any other sort listed. 

 It has broad, heavy stalks which are of convenient length for 

 packing. Advised for either home or market use. Pkt. 5 Cts., 

 oz. 25 Cts., V4lb. 85 cts., lb. $2.50.

Giant Pascal 



A good variety for fall and early winter use. Its good quality 

 is shown in the fact that it is so tender and crisp that it has to be 

 handled with great care to prevent breaking. The stalk is of 

 medium length and blanches to a beautiful whitish yellow color. 

 The stalks are very thick and nearly round in the upper portions 

 but are flattened out toward the base. A green-leaved variety 

 which was developed some years ago from Golden Self-blanching, 

 and is recommended either for home or market use. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 25 cts., Vilb. 85 cts., lb. 32.50.

S. S. Late Winter King 



A late green Celery particularly well adapted to muck-land. 

 It is a quick grower and will blanch in ample time for the 

 Thanksgiving and Christmas markets. Its growth is rather short; 

 stalks heavy and robust with joints well up on the outer leaves, 

 thus making a very attractive variety for the market. It is 

 absolutely free of pithy, stringy stalks, and is of splendid quality. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 50 cts., Vilb. $i.50, lb. $5. 



New Easy-Blandiing Celery 



CELERIAC (Turnip-Rooted Celery) 

 Giant Prague 



This variety is the most popular among American Celeriac growers. The roots, globular in shape, are comparatively smooth, 

 and we consider it the most satisfactory sort to be had. Celeriac is used in salads or boiled the same as carrots or parsnips. It is a 

 high-class vegetable and deserves much wider recognition by all classes of growers. It should receive about the same treatment as 

 celery. Plant in rows 2 feet apart and 6 inches apart in the row. Roots should be used when about 2 inches in diameter. Giant 

 Prague will be found a good keeper if properly packed under ground or in a dry cellar. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., Vi^t*- 85 cts., lb. $2.50. 



A great many of our largest Celery growers have found dependence in the stocks which we have 

 supplied in past seasons. Already large quantities have been reserved for them for the coming 

 season. We hope to have a large enough supply of this proven stock to hold out, but buyers should 

 not delay too long.
