 of Golden Heart, growing 

 much larger, and as a 

 keeper has no equal. It

WHITE PI.UME 

 CELERY. This is uu- 

 doubtedly the most de- 

 servedly popular variety 

 of celery grown in this 

 country. It is entirely 

 distinct from all other 

 celeries ; in the centre, 

 shoots and leaves being 

 nearly pure Avhite. Its 

 great peculiarity is that 

 naturally its fctalk and inner leaves and heart are white so that 

 by closing tho stalks, by simply drawing the soil up against 

 the plant and pressing it together with the hands, and again 

 drawing up the soil with the hoe or plow, so as to 

 keep the soil that has been squeezed against the celery 

 in its place, ttie work of blanching is complete. In the older 

 varieties of celery, in addition to this the slow and trouble- 

 some process rf" banking " or "earthing u]5 with a spade " is 

 necessary. Asa beautiful table ornament it is unsurpassed, 

 and its eating quaUties surpass those of any other variety, it 

 being crisp, solid and possessing a dehcate and delightful 

 flavor. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz.,30cts.; 34 lb., 90 cts.; lb., §3.40. 



FERN-LEAVED. A new variety, unusually large and 

 of good quality. It is very ornamental, as the leaves resem- 

 ble those of the Fern-Leaved Parsley, and are most striking in 

 appearance. Its flavor is excellent, and its properties as a 

 keeper, good. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 34 lb., 70 cts.; lb.,

Dwarf Golden Heart. 



CoUard. 



COLLARDS. 



True Georgia. They 

 are extensively grown in 

 the South, and to a large 

 extent take the place of 

 cabbage, as there are 

 seasons in the South 

 when a stand of cabbage 

 is hardly possible. It 

 forms a mass of leaves on 

 a tall stem and is an ex- 

 haustive feeder on the 

 soil. The CoUard, then, 

 which is a hardy, robust, 

 vigorous plant, comf s in 

 as an excellent substi- 

 tute. Sow for succession 

 from June to August, 

 and treat as cabbage in 

 rows 1 foot apart. Per

 lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.10.

 in drills 4 feet apart, and 8 inches apart in the drill; 5 or G
