Golden Self Blanching 
This is the best celery for early use. Critical gardeners depend 
upon our stock of this sort to produce their finest early celery. 
Plants are of a yellowish green color when young, but as they mature the 
inner stems and leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow, which adds much to 
their attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much easier. The hand- 
some color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and fine nutty 
flavor of this variety makes it only necessary to be tried in order to establish 
it as The Standard of Excellence as an Early Sort. French grown Seed. 
Golden Self Blanching 
American grown Seed. Our strain of American 
seed is produced direct from French grown seed 
stock and is the highest grade obtainable for this 
class 
CELERY SEED for Flavoring 
l CHICORY 
Large Rooted, or Coffee 
The dried and 
prepared roots are 
much used as a substitue for coffee, aud the young leaves may • 
be used as a spring salad. Our stock is the improved type, with 
very much larger, smoother, whiter and proportionately shorter roots than the old kind. Sow the seed 
as early in the spring as the ground can he prepared, in a rather light, moderately rich soil, in drills 
two to two and one-half feet apart for either garden or field culture. When the plants are sufficiently 
large, thin to six inches apart in the row. Cultivate well, and in the fall dig the roots, slice them and 
dry in an apple evaporator or kiln constructed for the purpose. When the roots are grown in quantity 
for the manufacturers of “prepared” chicory, they are usually brought to the factory in the “green” 
state and there dried in kilns constructed specially for the purpose. 
I bought seeds of your agent for a trial and found them to be 
good seed. I am not disappointed as I was last year when I bought 
seed out of a store, for they did not come up at all. 
Geo. Bryant, Todd County, Minn. 
The Farm and Garden Seeds I sold last winter did so well that 
I can sell dollars’ worth this year where I sold cents’ worth last 
year. Elijah Collins, Bedford Co., Pa. 
The seeds I sold have given the best of satisfaction.

CULTURE Sow the seed at the same season and give the same treat- 
ment as common celery. Transplant the young plants to 
moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six inches apart in the row. Give 
thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion of this vegetable, it is 
not necessary to earth up or "handle” it. After the roots have attained a 
diameter of two inches or over, they will be fit for use. To keep through 
winter, pack in damp earth or sand and put in the cellar, or leave out of doors, 
covering with earth and straw, like beets or carrots. 
Large Smooth Prague 0 
An improved form of turnip- rooted celery, producing large and smooth 
roots, which are almost round, and with very few side roots. Plants vigorous, 
with large deep green foliage

ing dishes of meats and vegetables. The leaves

CORN SALAD 
FETTICUS, OR 
LAMBS’ LETTUCE 
This small salad is used during the winter and spring months as a substitute 
for lettuce and is also cooked and used like spinage. In warm weather the 
plants will mature in four to six weeks. During August and September sow 
the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart. If the soil is dry it should be firmly pressed over the seed in order to secure prompt germination. On the 
approach of severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse utter. The plants will also do well if the seed is sown very early in the spring and like most 
salad plants, are greatly improved if sown on very rich soil; indeed the ground can scarcely be made too rich for them.
