CELERY. 
PARIS GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING (best 
imported).—This is one of the very best for general 
use, and is probably the most largely grown variety 
in America. The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, 
brittle, and of delicious 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 rich golden yellow color. 
While planting for your local retail trade or for 
shipping this is undoubtedly one of the best if not 
the very best variety to plant. Pkt. 10c. ; oz. 25c.; 
1-4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50. 
WHITE PLUME. — This variety requires but 
little labor in growing, but is improved by earthing 
up. The inner stalks are pure white, crisp and 
rich. A variety that is still a leader among the 
early sorts, and the ease with which it can be 
grown will always make it a favorite. Pkt. 5c. ; 
oz. 20c.; 1-4 lb. 50c.; lb. $1.75. 
BOSTON MARKET.—A vigorous grower with 
dark green leaves atiaining a medium height. An 
old standard of widely known excellence. It blanches 
quite early and when ready for market or table it 
makes a good appearance. It is tender, crisp and 
fine flavored. A splendid keeper, making an excellent 
winter market variety. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 20c. ; 1-4 lb. 
50c. ; lb. $1.50. 
WINTER QUEEN. —Probably the most desir¬ 
able of the winter varieties. Will keep well until 
March. It has many of the good qualities of the 
Golden Self-Blanching and is a better keeper. The 
flavor is sweet, nutty and delicious. Of about the 
same size as Golden Self-Blanching, half dwarf and 
compact in growth. Pkt. 10c.; oz. 20c. ; 1-4 lb. 60c.; 
lb. $2.00. 
DWARF GOLDEN HEART.— A strong grower 
and a great winter favorite. Half dwarf in growth 
with a bright golden yellow heart. A good reliable 
varietv. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.; 1-4 lb. 50c.; lb. $1.50. 
GIANT PASCAL.— This is a 
large growing variety in good land 
attaining a height of about two 
feet. The stalks are thick, solid 
and stringless and very brittle. 
The stalks are fewer in number than 
most kinds of celery, but making 
full weight by reason of width, thick¬ 
ness and succulence. I do not think 
the color of any celery is better de¬ 
scribed by the word ivory than this 
one. It blanches early and keeps 
well. In flavor it is very sweet re¬ 
sembling the Golden Self-Blanching. 
Taking altogether, this is a very 
desirable variety. Pkt. 5c. : oz. 10c. ; 
1-4 lb. 50c. ; lb. $1.50. 
PIN! PI UME.— This excellent 
celery is vigorous in growth and 
not likely to rust. It blanches al¬ 
most as early as White Plume, and 
is solid, crisp and brittle. It is 
also one of the most beautiful and 
best flavored of all the celery. If 
you have not grown this variety 
you should not fail to give it a 
trial. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.; 1-4 lb. 
60c.; lb. $2.00. 
POP CORN. 
WHITE RICE.—This is one of the best varieties 
of pop corn, making large, strong stalks with good 
Solid ears, three to five to the stalk. The grains are 
sharply pointed, and the ear is a handsome one. 
Pkt. 5c; 1-2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c., by mail postpaid. By 
express, 20c. per lb. 
QUEEN’S GOLDEN — This is perhaps the hand¬ 
somest of all pop corn when on the ear, surpassing all 
others in size and color. It pops perfectly white. 
Produces three to five ears to the stock. Pkt. 5c.; 
1-2 lb. 20c. : lb. 35c., by mail postpaid. By express, 
20c. per b 
SWEET OR SUGAR CORN. 
METROPOLITAN.—This is truly a fine type of 
the early or second early sweet corn. The strong 
stalks are five feet high, each stalk bearing one or 
two ears about nine inches long. One ot the best 
of the true early or intermediate varieties. It is 
practically free from smut, and will prove to be an 
admirable table or market sort, particularly good 
for market and shipping. Matures just after First of 
All, and is much larger and better than this variety. 
Pkt. 10c.: pt. 25c.: qt. 40c.. by mail postpaid. By 
express, 4 qts. 75c.; pk. $1.25; bus. $4.00. 
STABLER’S EARLY.— A fine variety for the 
home garden or for market. Of larger size than is 
usual for an early variety, and of the most delicious 
flavor. Grains are broad and very tender Those 
who have grown Stabler’s Early are well pleased with 
it. It is truly one of the good ones. Pkt. 10c.; pt. 
25c. : qt. 45c.. postpaid. By express, 4 qts. 75c.; pk. 
$1.25: bus. $4.25. 
GOT DEN BANTUM-A very early dwarf grow¬ 
ing variety. Produces small, compactly filled ears of 
most delicious quality. By many it is considered the 
sweetest of all sweet corns. The kernels when matur¬ 
ed are golden vellow, but in the milk state creamy 
white. Once planted in the home garden you will 
always want it: once sold on your local market and 
vou will always have to have it. Do not fail to 
plant some Golden Bantum. Pkt. 10c.; pt. 30c.; qt. 
50c., postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.00; pk. $l.o0;
