Culture. Sow the seed (which is slow to germinate) in hotbed or boxes in the house. When large 
enough transplant into other boxes and pots, and when all danger of frost is past, transplant in the open 
ground in rows 2V 2 feet apart, setting the plants about 18 inches apart in the row. About 200 seeds to 
the packet. 
HUNGARIAN THICK MEAT. This large, mild but tangy Sweet Pepper 
has the thickest meat of any ptepper we have seen. The fruits are 
5 y 2 inches long by 3 y 2 inches through, lighty waxy yellow when young 
and turning to a bright red when ripe. This new sort is very early 
and prolific. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT. This is the first very large sweet pepper that 
will produce good crops in the northern 
part of this country. The plants are vig¬ 
orous and the fruits average 5 inches long 
by 3 V 2 inches through, dark green turn¬ 
ing to brilliant red. This is a very worth 
while introduction. Pkt., 10c; 1& oz., 28c; 
oz., 45c. 
HARRIS’ EARLIEST. The Earliest Pepper. 
Earlier and more productive than Neapol¬ 
itan; the plants are dwarf and compact 
with fruits averaging 3 % inches long by 
2 y 2 inches through. The flesh is thick 
and mild. The only sure variety in un¬ 
favorable seasons. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 30c; 
oz., 50c. 
TOMATO-SQUASH or SUNNYBROOK. The fruits are Tomato shaped, 
about 2 inches in diameter, with very thick and extremely mild flesh. 
The deep green fruits ripen to a bright red. This variety is medium 
early and excellent for stuffing and salads. Can be used in every 
way as a Pimiento Pepper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c.

both home and market gardens. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c.

Culture. Sow the seed 
(which is slow to germi¬ 
nate) in shallow boxes in 
the house early in the 
spring. One-eighth inch 
of soil to cover is suffi¬ 
cient. Transplant to open 
ground in June or July. 
Set plants in rows 3 feet 
apart and 5 inches apart 
in the rows, in ground 
thoroughly enriched and 
cultivated. Until middle 
of August plants need 
nothing but water and 
cultivation. Celery should 
receive enough water at 
all times to prevent its 
growth being checked. 
Earthing up may then be¬ 
gin and continue as long 
as the plants grow. At 
approach of severe freez¬ 
ing weather plants should 
be dug and may be stored 
in a dark, cool cellar, 
standing upright with the 
roots in a little moist 
sand. About 7,000 seeds 
to the packet.

Celery.

GOLDEN PLUME or WONDERFUL. This selec¬ 
tion from Golden Self-Blanching has the crisp¬ 
ness and nuttiness of that variety, but is 
earlier, larger and of ranker growth, and 
blanches more quickly. It is apparently most 
resistant to rust and disease and withstands 
heat better. Not a Winter keeper. It is a 
beautiful gold in color, brittle and of highest 
table quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; *4 lb., 
$1.25, postpaid. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. Ours is a supe¬ 
rior, dependable strain of this standard celery 
for early use. It is not quite as early as White 
Plume, but the plants are heavier hnd of more 
compact growth. Self-blanching, the color is 
a rich golden yellow; nearly stringless; the 
stalks are thick, crisp and brittle; while for 
flavor this sort is unsurpassed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
35c; M lb., $1.05; y 2 lb., $2.00; 1 lb., $3.75, 
postpaid. 
WHITE PLUME. One of the earliest varieties and most easily blanched. 
A rapid grower, it is not a very good keeper, but one of the best sorts 
for fall and early winter. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c, postpaid. 
WINTER QUEEN. A very solid and crisp variety with double the amount 
of heart of any known celery. One of the very best keeping varieties, 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c; 14 lb., $1.35; 1 lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
GIANT PASCAL. A compact, vigorous sort, a good keeper and one of 
the best varieties for Fall and Winter. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c; 
14 lb., $1.35; 1 lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
CELERIAC OR TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY— GIANT PRAGUE. This 
is a celery of which only the root is used. Should be planted like 
other celery, but need not be banked. An excellent vegetable for use 
in soups, stews and sauces, as it imparts a delicious flavor. Is good 
boiled separately. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 70c, postpaid.
