WALTER S. SCHELLS QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
The Houser Celery 
The Houser is a most valuable green Celery, 
blanching easily to a beautiful white, with rich yel- 
low heart. The plants grow about 20 inches high, 
the stems are clean and smooth, almost round, 
very brittle, with a distinctly rich, crisp, nutty 
flavor, the quality which creates a demand for 
your crop. It is an excellent keeper. If I had space 
to print the many testimonials as to its fine quality, 
written by many of my customers, you would not 
fail to order it after reading them. Everybody praises 
it. This new Houser Celery is sure to please every 
market-gardener who grows it. Pkt. 15 cts., Vio*- 
76 ots., oz. $1.26, y4lb. $4, lb. $16. 
ScfielFs Yellow as Gold 
Positively the finest and purest rich golden 
yellow Celery grown. There are a great many 
strains of yellow, self-blanching Celery; some are 
good; some are very undesirable. This Yellow as 
Gold is a private stock which cannot be sur- 
passed. I urge you to try it out alongside of any 
strain offered by any seedsman, and let it prove 
itself. It has that rich, nutty flavor and handsome 
color which make i t a quick seller. Pkt. 15 cts., 
l/^oz. 75 cts., oz. $1.25, V41b. $4, lb. $16.
