Schell'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. 
One of the most valuable commercial Celeries on Ike 
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, very 
tender, and of exquisite flavor, and it is a good keeper. Its 
market value is doubled because of its quick and easy-blanch- 
ing characteristic, giving it that rich, attractive, golden 
yellow color, so desirable and necessary, long before it is 
possible to produce it on the other green Celeries. My seed is 
a fancy strain producetl from perfect specimen playits. It is 
simply perfect. I urge everyone, whether large or small 
grow-er, to be sure to grow my strain of Easy-Blanching.
