always of the crisp, brittle and nutty quality so much 
desired. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; '/ 4 lb. $1.00. 
WHITE PLUME —It is the earliest Celery in culti¬ 
vation. It is distinct from Golden Self-Blanching in 
being taller in growth, more slender in stalk, and branches 
to a pure snowy whiteness. It is a valuable market sort 
on account of its extreme earliness, but is not as good a 
keeper nor has it so fine a flavor as the Golden Self- 
Blanching. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c X lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
WINTER QUEEN —A medium-tall, solid variety;

flavor and crispness will please the most critical. Pkt.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING —One of the earliest 
and most productive sorts. The beautiful golden-colored 
stalks attain a height of 18 inches, which during the 
growing period are never pithy; of excellent flavor, re¬ 
quiring no artificial blanching process. Ready for use 
in October, but may be kept for early Winter use. Pkt.

HENDERSON’S EASY BLANCHING —Excels in 
the qualities that give self-blanching celeries their value.

is the longest keeping variety grown (if put away green), 
excelling in this respect every other sort. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; X lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.

EXTRA-SELECT FRENCH GOLDEN 
SELF-BLANCHING 
Our seed of this variety comes to us every season 
direct from the originator in France, it is unexcelled and 
absolutely reliable and our rapidly increasing trade is 
abundant evidence of its high quality. It is now the 
leading sort on all markets as an early Celery. For 
market use it is preferred to White Plume, because it 
does not wilt so soon, and its rich yellow color is very 
attractive. The stalks are heavier, of a fine nutty 
flavor, attains a good size, and it comes into market 
almost as soon as any other sort. It is of dwarf, com¬ 
pact habit and blanches readily. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
X lb. 90c; lb. $3.00.

PRAGUE —This is unques¬ 
tionably the largest and best 
Celeriac in existence. Pkt.
