Dwarf Golden Heart. 
DWARF GOLDEN 
HEART. This is a very 
solid dwarf variety, and 
an excellent keeper. In 
habit of growth it is 
sturdy, and much resem- 
bles the half-dwarf white 
varieties. Itisamostjxjp- 
ularsort with our Phila- 
delphiamarket gardeners. 
Keeps well during the 
winter. When blanched, 
the heart, which is large 
and full, is of a waxy, 
golden yellow, rendering 
it very beautiful and 
showy. One of the best 
likewise for private use.

VAUTIER'SNEW 
GOLDEN HEART. 
This is an improved strain 
of Golden Heart, growing 
much larger, and as a 
keeper has no equal. It 
has been raised and per- 
fected by Mr. Charles H. 
Vautier, one of our best 
known market gardeners; 
his celery always com- 
mands the highest price 
in market. Stock of seed 
limited. Per pkt., 5 cts., 
oz., 35 cts.; M lb., $1.00 : 
lb., 84.00. 
WHITE PLUME 
CELERY. This is un- 
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 white. 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 blanching is complete. In the older 
varieties of celery, in addition to this the slow and trouble- 
some process of " banking " or " earthing m\> with a spade " is 
necessary. As a beautiful table ornament it is unsurpassed, 
and its eating qualities surpass those of any other variety, it 
being crisp, solid and possessing a delicate and delightful 
flavor. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz.,30 cts.; 34 lb., 80 cts.; lb., 5f3.00. 
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.; % lb., 70 cts.; lb., 
«2.40. 
CHERVIL. 
Curled. An aromatic sweet herb. The leaves are used in 
soups and salads. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; ^Ib., 40 cts.; 
lb., $1.25.

Large Rooted. Used as a substitute for coflFee. The tops 
are also used for greens. Cultivate in same manner as carrots.

CORN SALAD, OR FETTICUS. 
LARGE ROUND LEAVED. Sow early in spring, in 
rows 1 foot apart. It will be fit for use in 6 or 8 weeks. ' If 
wanted very early in the spring, sow in September, and cover 
thinly with straw when cold weather approaches. Per pkt 
5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 34 lb., 20 cts.; lb., 65 cts. *' 
Collard. 
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 Collard, then, 
which is a hardy, robust, 
vigorous plant, comes in 
as an excellent substi- 
tute. Sow for succession 
from June to August, 
and treat as cabbage in 
rows 1 foot apart. Per 
pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % 
lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.10. 
SUGAR CORN. 
Plant about the last of spring, in hills about 3 feet apart, or 
in drills 4 feet apart, and 8 inches apart in the drill; 5 or 6 
grains to a hill is sufl&cient. When up, thin them out, allow- 
ing 3 of the strongest plants to remain. They should be thor- 
oughly cultivated, and when a succession is required, plant 
every 2 weeks, until the middle of summer. A rich, warm 
alluvial soil is best, and immediately before planting this 
should be as deeply and thoroughly worked as possible.

ing ears have been picked 
in 61 days from tune of

turing is 70 days. A val- 
uable variety to come 
in ahead of Minnesota and 
Crosby's. Per pkt., 5 cts.;
