THEY GROW BETTER • THEY YIELD BETTER 
ScheM's Special 
Strain of 
Easy-Blanching 
Celery 
Notice I refer to my special strain 
of this valuable Celery, and I tell 
you there is a vast difference in the 
strains of diflferent growers. The 
surest way to determine 'whether 
my strain is the best quality, as to 
purity, flavor, solidity, and color, as 
well as keeping qualities, is by what 
those who are growing it say about 
it. Here are several very strong en- 
dorsements; I could furnish many 
more if I had space: — 
Messrs. Thomas Benstead and 
Sons, Ontario, famous Celery-grow- 
ers, known throughout North Am- 
erica as among the largest and most 
expert Celery-growers, having taken 
more than 200 first prizes on their 
Celery when in competitive exhi- 
bitions in Canada, United States, 
anci 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." 
Merle Baker, Market-Gardener, 
says: "My crop of your Easy - 
Blanching Celery is the finest Celery 
I ever grew." 
Could I give you, who want the 
best, any stronger proof of the su- 
perior quality of my strain of this 
valuable Celery? 
One of the most valuable commercial 
Celeries on the market. It averages 
24 inches high 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, vei-y tender, and of ex- 
quisite flavor, and it is a good keeper. 
Its market value is doubled because 
of its quick and easy-blanching char- 
acteristic, giving it that rich, attrac- 
tive, golden yellow color, so desirable 
and necessary, long before it is pos- 
sible 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.
