CELERY 
improved Golden Self=Blanching Celery 
THE BEST EARLY CELERY 
Critical market-gardeners say ours is the finest they ever had 
For some time past we have been carefully selecting the stock of this well- 
known variety from the original strain. We believe now we have so far perfected it 
that when once grown you will have no other. The stalks are much broader than 
the White Plume and greatly superior in quality, and is ready for market almost as 
soon, producing dwarfer and much larger bunches of fine heavy stalks, which are 
crisp, tender and of nut-like flavor. We can recommend this particular strain to 
our customers. Pkt.5 cts., oz. 30 cts,* Jib. $1, lb. $3.25. 
NOTE.— For the ordinary Self-Blanching Celery as generally sold, which 
:3s not French grown, pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., %lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 
Monarch Celery 
This variety came to our notice sev- 
eral years ago, and after repeated trials 
we can recommend this as a sort for the 
market-gardener for a late crop and an 
excellent keeper. It produces large 
stalks and magnificent bright yellow 
heart. The stalks are very solid, brit- 
tle and of most delicious flavor, and 
when' properly grown it produces a 
good crop which is entirely free from 
any stringiness. Pkt. 10 cts., oz- 
30 cts., lib. $1, lb. $3.75. 
Our stock is grown direct 
from the originator's seed

New VICTORIA Celery 
We so name this grand Celery because 
it truly stands victorious over all. It has 
a great amount of heart, is heavier, stouter, 
and thicker than all its rivals. It is the 
most economical Celery yet introduced, 
every particle being solid, crisp, and of a 
delicious nutty flavor. Its beautiful, large, 
VICTORIA CELERY— Showing its Stocky Habits g0 \fe n heart and compact growth make an 
ornament hard to surpass. It is a remark- 
able keeper, maintaining its firmness as late as May. Critical market-gardeners pro- 
nounced it to be one of the finest quality, best keeper and most salable Celery they have 
ever raised. It is ready for the market by December. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts«» oz. 
15 cts., Jib. 50 cts., Jib 75 cts., lb. $1.50, postpaid. 
HOLMES' 
Selected White Plume Celery 
We supply many of the largest growers 
throughout the country with our White Plume 
Our strain of this popular variety has been improved in growth, earliness, beauty, 
flavor and texture. It requires very little work in blanching, as the stalk, portions of 
the inner leaves and heart are naturally white. It is unexcelled for early market use, 
but is not so good a keeper as New Golden Self-Blanching. Our seed is not exceeded 
in quality and purity. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., £lb» 75 cts., lb. $2.25.
