This superb variety is noted for its close habit, ' 

 compact growth and straight, vigorous stalks, 

 which make a handsome appearance. The heart | 

 is large, solid and of a beautiful rich golden yellow \ 

 color, and without banking up or any covering 

 whatever even the outer ribs become of a fresh 

 yellowish- white color. It is a fine table variety ; 

 the ribs are solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious 

 flavor. On the table or market stall it is most 

 handsome and striking in appearance. Per pkt.,

IMPROVED WHITE PLUME CELERY. 



It is entirely distinct from all other celeries, 

 in the centre the shoots and leaves being nearly 

 pure white. It is prized for its fine eating qualities, 

 being crisp, solid and possessing a delicate flavor. 

 Its great peculiarity is that naturally its stalk and 

 inner leaves and heart are white, so that by closing 

 the 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, the work of blanch- 

 ing is complete. In the older varieties of celery, 

 in addition to this, the slow and troublesome 

 process of "banking" or "earthing up with a 

 spade " is necessary. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 30 cts. ; 

 X lb., 60 cts. ; lb., $2.00. 



PERLE LE GRAND CELERY.

IMPROVEDGOLDEN HEARTCELERY. 



This magnificent variety has been raised and perfected by 

 Mr. Chas. H. Vautier, one of our leading and best-known 

 market gardeners, from whom we obtain our seed direct, and 

 it can be relied upon implicitly. It is without question the 

 best variety of Golden Heart Celery ever offered, being noted 

 for its long, broad, thick ribs and many hearts of the richest 

 golden color. It will blanch readily', and is the longest 

 keeper of the golden varieties. It grows much larger than 

 the old Golden Heart, and is remarkably solid, very crisp, 

 tender, and of the richest flavor; in appearance it "has no 

 equal. Mr. Vautier does an enormous business with the lead- 

 ing restaurants on this celery, obtaining the highest prices. 

 We request earlv orders, as stock of seed is very limited. Per 

 oz., 35 cts. ; % lb., §1.00 ; lb , $4.00.
