CELERY. 
PARIS GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING.—This is one of the best fo_ 
general use. The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of a deli 
cious flavor, surpassed by no other variety, while it has the decided 
merit of being- self blanching to a remarkable degree; the heart is 
large, solid and of a beautiful, rich, golden yellow color. Don’t fail to 
give this valuable variety a trial. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; qr. lb. 60c; lb. $1.80. 
PINK PLUHE.—This is one of the most beautiful and best flavored 
of all the celeries; vigorous in growth and not likely to rust; it blanches 
with almost as little trouble as the White Pluire, and is solid, crisp and 
brittle. Pk . 5c: oz. 25c; quarter lb. 60c; lb. $1.80. 
WHITE PLUME. — No other celery natural’y* turns white upon 
reaching maturity; all others require blanching with boards or with 
e rth. The Gol en Self- Blanching naturally turns yellow, but this one 
turns white. Not only d- .es the stem whiten but also the leaf; especially 
every inner leaf assumes the attractive white color. It is truly a beau¬ 
tiful type. This makes the White Piume celery one of the most showy 
ornaments that can be put on a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner 
table. Th > White Plume is all that can be desired in suecu ence. crisp¬ 
ness and quality. To bo at its best, it must have rich soil and plenty of 
water. Well-grown White Plume is simply perfect both in palatability 
and beauty. Sow in April, set in July, cultivate thoroughly and fre¬ 
quently. J ill lightly in October, and it is in excellent condition for use 
in November or December, Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; quarter lb. 50c; lb. $1.60. 
WINTER QUEEN.—Winter Queen is a close, compact grower, and 
will prove to be a garden favorite. It is a dwarf or half dwarf celery, 
of about the same size as Golden Self-Blanching; it has, in fact, many 
traits of that variety, but it is of a da rk green color and a far better 
keeper. The stalks are thick and heavy, with more heart than any 
other variety. The leaves blanch.to a beautiful creamy 
white, and are firm and solid; the flavor is sweet nutty 
and delicious, leaving nothing to be desired in quality. 
This is probably the most desirable winter celery grown; 
will keep well until March, April, and sometimes even in 
May. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c: quarter lb. 60c; lb. $1.80. 
DWARF GOLDEN HEART. —This is a good winter 
Yew York Improved Spineless Egg Plant . 
GIANT PASCAL.—This is a tall-growing variety, at¬ 
taining a height of about two feet. The stalks are.thick, 
solid and stringless, and almost as brittle as glass, fewer 
in number than any ordinary kinds of celery, but make 
full weight by reason of width and thickness. I do not 
think the color of any celery is better described by the 
keeper, a strong grower and a great favorite: In growth word “ivory” than this one. It blanches early and keens 
it is half dwarf, similar to Crawford’s except that it only v, 1 - 11 fla X or vfj very milc k resembles Golden Self 
blanches the heart and is of brighter golden yellow color Blanching, of which it is an ottspring, and the flavor is 
A very desirable variety; try it. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; quarter ver y choice. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; quarter lb. 50c; lb, $1.50. 
pound 50c; pound $L.50. - BOSTON MARKET.—This is a good and reliable win¬ 
ter keeper. It blanches quite early, and when ready for 
market or table makes a good appearance, and is tender, crisp, and fine 
flavor. It is a vigorous grower, with dark green leaves, attaining a medium 
height; in short, it is an old standard celery of widely known excellence. 
Packet 5c; ounce 20c; quarter pound 50c; pound $1.50. 
EARS LEY. 
CHAHPION MOSS CURLED.—The large leaves are heavily crimped and 
curled, being quite mosslike in appearance, and of a peculiarly rich, extra 
dark green coloring; very productive and most attractive as a garnish, 
b<»th on account of its deep green color and its fine mossy appearance. 
Pkt. 5c; ounce 10c; quarter pound 20c; pound 50c. 
DOUBLE CURLED.—It is very curly and fine cut, of compact growth 
and bright green color; a very desirable variety for garnishing, lkt. 5c; 
ounce 10c; quarter pound 20c; pound 50c. 
TRIPLE CURLED.—Plant robust and free from growth, and is improved 
by severe cutting; large leaves and beautifully curled ; very dark green 
stands heat, drought and cold; yield double that of most sorts; appear:: ( 
of plant is very handsome. Pkt. 5 c; oz. 10c; quarter pound 20c; pound 50c
