F. H. EBELING 66th Annual Catalog 1868-1934 SYRACUSE, N. Y. 
TABLE QUALITY CARROTS 
Carotten (Ger.) Carota (It.) 
Carrots to grow to perfection require a deeply culti¬ 
vated, rich and well pulverized soil. Sow early in the 
spring as soon as the soil is fit to work, in drills 15 to 
18 inches apart, covering one inch deep, and press the 
soil firmly over the seed. If desired to cultivate with 
horse, make rows three feet apart. 
EARLY FRENCH FORCING. The earliest variety in 
cultivation and the best suited for forcing. Tops small, 
finely divided. The reddish orange colored roots are 
nearly round. When fully matured they are about 2 
inches in diameter, but should be used before they are 
full grown and while young and tender. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; % lb., 60c; lb., $1.75. 
EARLY SHORT HORN. Excellent for early planting 
out-of-doors. Tops small, coarsely divided. Roots 
top-shaped, but tapering abruptly to a small tap. 
Skin orange-red. Oz., 15c; *4 lb-* 70c; lb., $1.75. 
GUERANDE or OX HEART. Tops small for the size of 
the roots which are comparatively short but often 
reach a diameter of five inches, terminating abruptly 
in a small tap root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained 
and sweet. This variety is especially desirable for soil 
so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would not 
thrive in it. When young, excellent for table use, and 
when mature equally good for stock. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
15c; % lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
DANVERS. Grown largely on account of its great pro¬ 
ductiveness and adaptability to all classes of soil. 
Tops of medium size, coarsely divided. The smooth 
and handsome roots are deep orange, of medium length, 
tapering uniformly to a blunt point; flesh sweet, crisp, 
tender and of a deep orange color. Although the roots 
of this variety are short, they produce as large a bulk 
as the longer field sorts and are more easily harvested. 
Oz., 15c; *4 lb., 60c; lb., $1.75. 
CHANTENAY. (Coreless). Tops medium-sized; necks 
small; roots tapering slightly but uniformly stump- 
rooted and smooth. Color deep orange-red; flesh very 
crisp and tender. Although this is a medium early 
sort, it furnishes roots of usable size as early as any, 
is a heavy cropper and is undoubtedly one of the best 
for both the market and private garden, while its great 
productiveness makes it very desirable as a field sort. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 60c; lb., $1.75. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Blumenkohl (Ger.) Cavoloflore (It.) 
EARLY SNOWBALL. The most popular and profitable 
of the Cauliflower family. Heads of uniform size, 
snowy white, very tender, and owing to its attractive 
appearance a most desirable market variety. Seed 
grown in Denmark. 
Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.75; 
y 4 lb., $6.00. 
DANISH GIANT or DRY- 
WEATHER. This strain 
of Snowball Cauliflower 
is especially valuable 
for high ground, as it 
is more vigorous than 
the Early Snowball, and 
stands dry weather bet¬ 
ter. The heads are a 
little larger than Snow¬ 
ball and mature a week 
or two later and have 
more leaves to protect 
them from sun and 
frost. Pkt., 25c; oz., 
$2.00; % lb., $6.00. 
SUPER SNOWBALL. This Cauliflower makes a pure 
white, large, solid, round head and it matures a few 
days later than Early Snowball. Heads and outer 
leaves are somewhat larger than Early Snowball and 
leaves cover the heads almost fully. It is a new and 
outstanding type either for early or summer crop and 
it stands heat very well. Oz., $2.00. 
Chantenaj' Carrot. 
LONG ORANGE. The most popular for farm use 
on mellow soil. An improvement attained by 
years of careful selection of the best formed and 
deepest colored roots. Oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40c; 
lb., $1.50. 
WHITE BELGIAN. Grows one-third out of the 
ground. Root white, green above ground, with 
small top. Flesh rather coarse. The roots are 
large and it is extensively grown for stock feed- 
ing. Oz., 10c; lb., $1.00. 
CELERY 
Sellerie (Ger.) Sedano (It.) 
Culture. Celery seed is slow to germinate, and 
ample time must be given. Sow thinly; cover 
lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 
7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or *4 pound per 
acre. When the seedling plants are three inches 
high they should be clipped at the top, to favor 
stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is 
mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, 
in rows 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart in row. 
COLUMBIA. An exceptionally fine, early variety, 
is of medium height, but very stocky. Stalks 
are thick, almost round, are of a rich, yellow 
color, and its fine flavor and crispness will please 
the most critical. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; *4 lb., 
$1.25. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. This is the very 
best celery for early use. It is in condition as 
early in the fall as any, and we have yet to find 
an extra early sort equal in quality and appear¬ 
ance to our stock of Golden Yellow Self- 
Blanching. Critical gardeners and consumers 
generally depend upon this variety to produce 
their best early celery. Plants of medium size, 
compact and stocky—with yellowish green foli¬ 
age. As they mature the inner stems and leaves 
turn a beautiful golden yellow, so that blanching 
is effected at a small expense of time and labor. 
Oz., 65c; y 4 lb., $2.00; lb., $7.50. 
SUTTON’S PINK PLUME. The finest of all celery 
for family use. Pkt, 10c; oz., 50c. 
SUTTON’S SOLID WHITE. The finest eating cel¬ 
ery known. Crisp, tender, sweet; once used, 
creates lasting friends. Pkt., 15c; oz., 75c.
