Schell's Special Strain of 
Easy-Blanching Celery 
Notice I refer to my special strain of tliis valuable 
Celery, and I tell you there is a vast difference in the 
strains of difTerent growers. 
One of the most valuable commercial Celeries on the 
market. It averages 24 inches liigh on good soil, and 
has a wealth of rich, nutty flavored hearts and inside 
stems, every bite of which creates a desire for more. 
All the stems of the entire stock are thick, brittle, very 
tender, and of exquisite flavor, and it is a good keeper. Its 
market value is doubled becau.se of its quick and easy-blanch- 
ing, characteristic, giving it that rich, attractive, golden 
> cllow color, so desirable and necessary, long before it is 
])ossiblc to produce it on the other green Celeries. My seed is 
a fancy strain produced from perfect specimen plants. It is 
simply perfect. I urge everyone, whether large or small 
grower, to be sure to grow my strain of Easy-Blanching. 
Prices: Lb. $15; Vjlb. $7.50; V4lb. $4; 2 ozs. $2.25; oz.

Messrs. Tuomas Benstkad and Sons, Ontario, famous Celerv- 
Erowers, known throughout North America as among the largest and 
most expert Celery-growers, having taken more than 200 first prizes 
on their Celery when in competitive exhibitions in Canada. United 
States, and England, say: "We grew one of the finest crops of Celery 
from your seed of Easy-Blanching that we ever grew. ... I like your 
Houser very much; also your Allheart. Will want more."
