“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS.

Culture—Sow the seed in the open ground as 
early as the ground can be worked. The seed is slow 
to germinate and should be firmed into the soil 
rather than covered, and the soil where it is planted 
•hould be kept moist. When transplanting, clip off 
thf cops and the ends of the roots to make the plants 
stocky. Rows should be four or five feet apart, and 
plants five or six inches apart in the row. After 
planting is completed cultivate frequently. About 
the middle of August begin to draw the earth up to 
the plants to blanch or whiten them. Continue 
hilling or banking them at intervals until cold 
weather, when they should be taken up and put 
in a pit or cellar for winter use. To get very early 
plants, seed should be started in boxes or hotbeds, 
and if grown too large before time to set them out in 
the open, clip off the tops to make them grow stocky. 
An ounce of seed will produce 8,000 plants 
Golden Self Blanching — Plants compact and 
stocky, white vellowish-green foliage. Stalks 
perfectly solid, of a fine nut-like flavor, good-sized 
and when blanched are a handsome golden-yellow. 
> 
White Plume—Handsome, early sort. Much in 
demand for market on account of its appearance, 
but it lacks the flavor, solidity and keeping 
qualities of the Golden Self Blanching. Inner 
stems and leaves turn white when earthed up 
for a short time. 
Easy Blanching — Resembles Golden Self Blanch¬ 
ing but the leaves are green and the stalks blanch 
white instead of yellow. More hardy and less 
liable to blight. About two weeks later. One of 
the easiest to blanch and of the best quality. 
Emperor — A dwarf and stocky plant with a large, 
full, light yellow heart and thick, crisp stalks 
which are very tender and brittle. We consider 
this a most desirable Celery for fall and winter use. 
Wonderful or Golden Plume Celery 
Giant Pascal — Green leaved, blanching to a beautiful yellowish-white. 
Very solid and crisp. Large growing sort for fall and winter use. 
Wonderful or Golden Plume — This fine sort is an improved Golden 
Self-Blanching, maturing slightly earlier and is resistant to attacks 
of blight and rust. The plants are compact, stocky and of vigorous 
growth with a very full heart which bleaches quickly to a rich golden 
yellow and has a fine nutty flavor. We highly recommend our stock 
of this variety. (See Page 4). 
Golden Phenomenal — A splendid new celery with all the good 
qualities of the Golden Plume but is taller, with longer edible stems, 
and the plants are more upright and more compact. It matures at 
the same time as Golden Plume and the stems are broad and thick, 
brittle and free from strings, of fine flavor and altogether excellent. 
Celeriac — An improved variety of turnip rooted celery producing 
large roots of nearly globular shape. Splendid for soups and stews. 
Grown like celery. 
Golden Phenomenal 
Chicoree CHICORY Cicoria 
Sow in the open ground in May or June and thin to six inches in the 
rows. In the fall lift the roots and trim to within one and one-half 
inches of the crown. Place the roots in trenches about eighteen inches 
deep with the crowns nine inches below the top level. Fill with rich 
soil and cover the whole with a top dressing of manure. The new tops 
attain the proper size in from six to eight weeks. 
Witloof — Excellent for salads, like Endive and Cos Lettuce. 
Giant Magdeburg — This is a root chicory which attains large size. 
The dried roots are often roasted and used as a substitute for coffee. 
Italian Dandelion or Common (Cicoria Catallane) — A dwarf 
growing salad and greens plant much relished by Italians. 
Our strain of Golden Plume is unexcelled.
