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., ilh, $1, lb. $3,73. 



Our stock is grown direct 

 from the originator's seed

New VICTORIA Celery 



HOLMES" SELECTED WHITE PLUME 



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,

ornament hard to surpass. It is a remark-

 ever raised. It is ready for the market by December. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts«» oz.

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, beauigr, 

 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.^ JIK 75 cts,, lb. $2.25.
