DWAKF GOLDEN 

 HEAKT. 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. It is a most pop ^ 

 ularsort with our Phila- 

 delphia market gardeners. 

 Keeps well during the 

 winter. When blanched, 

 the heart, which is large 

 and full, is of a "waxy, 

 golden yello-^, rendering 

 it very beautiful and 

 showy. One of the best 

 .likewise for private use. 

 Per pkt., 5cts. ; oz.. iocs., 

 ^ lb , 50 cts. ; lb., §1.50. 



TAUTIER'SNEW 

 GOLDEN HJ^AKT. 



Thisis 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.; li lb., Sl.OO ; 

 lb., $4.00. 



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 

 Dwarf Golden Heart. 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 ^xp with a spade " is 

 necessary. Asa 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., 25 cts. ; % lb., 75 cts. ; lb., S2.00. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL. A sport from the popular 

 Golden Self-Blanching, and partakes of the rich, nutty flavor 

 peculiar to that variety. It is taller than its parent, the stalks 

 being large, thick, solid and entirely stringless. It does not 

 rot and is a good keeper. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 20 cts. ; 34 lb.,

Collard. 



COLLARDS. 



True Georg^ia. 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 

 Hs an excellent substi- 

 lute. 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 & 

 grains to a hill is suflacient. 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
