Celery Plants. 
We find that the demand for Celery is rapidly increasing and we have this season 
greatly increased our seed beds to keep pace with the growing demand for plants. 
Celery makes but little growth before the cool fall months, consequently the demand 
for plants does not come as early as for cabbage, and we not commence shipping them 
before about June 30th. 
Varieties. Crawford's Half Dwarf is no\v the most popular variety and we are 
growing it more extensively than other. It has a rich nutty flavor and great vigor of 
growth, is very solid and fine. 
La Plume Chestnut. A new variety of dwarf white solid celery worthy of trial. 
Dwarf White Solid. This has been for years a popular variety for market. 
Boston Market. A favorite with many for home use. The stalks branch and grow 
looser than most sorts. 
Giant White Solid. The tallest growing variety, and consequently more difficult to 
bleach than others, but produces a heavier crop. 
Prices. By mail, per 100, 50 cents. By express, 1000, $3.00. 
All orders will be acknowledged when received and the plants shipped as soon as pos¬ 
sible afterward, usually the following day unless the order is received on Friday when 
we wait till the following Monday.
