Giant Pascal 0 
This is a green leaved variety developed from the Golden Yellow 
Large Solid, and is an excellent sort for fall and winter use. It 
blanches very quickly to a beautiful yellowish-white color, is very solid 
and crisp and of a fine nutty flavor. The stalks grow broad and thick, 
a single plant making a large bunch. With rich soil and high culture 
this variety will be wholly satisfactory. Especially recommended for 
the south where it is prized more than almost any other kind.

While we are fully aware that this variety has great merit as an 
early market sort, being as early as any and very attractive when fit for 
use vet we do not think that it compares very favorably with the Golden 
Self-Blanching either in flavor or solidity, or that it will remain in 
condition for use as long after it is earthed up. Plants light yellowish- 
ereen with tips of leaves almost white. As they mature the inner stems 
and leaves turn white, and require to be earthed up but a short time 
before they are in condition for use. 
Where a fine appearing celery at a minimum amount of 
labor is the object, this variety will give entire satisfaction. 
An Improved White Plume with longer stems is being offered, but 
careful comparison with our stock shows that it is not equal in quality 
or so desirable as that we offer.

fimmed and bunched for the market. The outer foliage of the plant when growing is rather
