Columbia Celery 
Perfection in celery is recognized by two 
groups—the gardeners who produce celery that 
uniformly commands the highest market price 
and the connoisseurs who will go without rather 
than eat any but the best. To both the successful 
producer and the intelligent buyer we commend 
our strain of Columbia as the peer of Golden Self 
Blanching, so long considered the standard. Co¬ 
lumbia comes into use only a trifle later than- 
Golden Self Blanching. The plant is very vigorous 
and hardy. In beauty of golden color and solidity 
and size of stalk it is unsurpassed. In delicacy 
of flavor Columbia is considered by many to 
surpass Golden Self Blanching. No better celery 
has ever been produced than our strain of 
Columbia. Try it in the home garden and be con¬ 
vinced. (See cut on this page and further des-

Golden Yellow Self Blanching Celery 
This standard variety is the one grown much 
more extensively than any other sort for early 
use. Our stock has been very carefully selected 
and grown and we believe it is the very best 
obtainable. (See cut and further description,

White Cory 
Corn 
We consider 
this unques¬ 
tionably the 
best extra early 
corn The ears 
are very large 
for so early a 
variety. They 
are twelve row- 4 
ed; six to seven ' Columbia 
inches long, , 
symmetrical, very white and of remarkably good quality for such an early 
sort. Their size and beauty give them ready sale even when the market is 
overstocked. (See cut on this page and further description , page 30) Pkt. 10 c;

Golden Bantam Com , 
This early sweet corn with golden yellow grain is very tender and 
when in best condition for the table is of exceptionally rich and delicious 
flavor. Our stock has been very carefully selected during several seasons 
and will be found decidedly superior. (See cut and further description , 
page 30) Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $6.00 
Avon Evergreen Corn 
This splendid evergreen sort was introduced by us last year and wher¬ 
ever tried has been found of most superior quality. Those who like the 
old reliable Stowell’s Evergreen will find in Avon Evergreen a variety 
better in every way. It is a trifle earlier and has a longer ear and thicker 
kernel. It remains long in condition for use and is of surpassing sweetness 
of flavor. Avon Evergreen stands alone in its class as a main crop variety 
for the market, the home garden and the canner. ( See cut and further des¬ 
cription, page 31) Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qt*. $1.50; Bu. $8.00 
Black Beauty Pop Corn 
An extremely early variety that pops very large and exceptionally 
white. The kernels are black but this color is not noticeable after popping, 
when this sort is the largest and most tender of any. (See further des¬ 
cription, page 31) Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. of ears $5.00 
If corn is ordered by mail or express prepaid add 10 cents per pint , 15 cents per 
quart for charges. We supply pop com in lots of four quarts and less , shelled.
