EXCEEDINGLY EEA UTIFUJ, 
AND OF SPLENDID QUALITY 
In general character this sort resembles the Golden Yellow 
Large Solid from which it originated, but the plant is more 
compact, the stalks a little larger and the upper portions, par¬ 
ticularly of the heart stems, are a richer, deeper yellow. 
The stalks are most beautifully tinted with red at the base. 
The plant is stout and vigorous and as self-blanching as any 
variety in cultivation. The leaves are broad, the outer ones dark 
green.*hut becoming more yellow toward the center until those of 
the heart are deep yellow.' Though the ribs are prominent the 
stalks are practically stringless and wonderfully crisp, tender and 
good flavored. They are large and thick. In color they are a 
very rich and waxlike yellow tinted with pink at the base which 
deepens into a carmine fine along the ridges. 
We have carefully tested this sort and 
we believe it to be one of the most valu¬ 
able kinds in cultivation both for the 
home garden and those markets which 
demand vegetables of high quality. 
No celery grower or market gardener 
should fail to grow it extensively as its 
remarkable beauty alone will give it 
ready sale wherever offered.

While we are fully aware that this variety 
has great merit as an early market sort, being as early as any 
and very attractive when fit for use, yet we do not think that it 
compares favorably with the Golden Yellow Large Solid either 
in flavor or solidity, or that it will remain in condition for use as 
long after it is earthed up. Plants light yellowish-green with tips 
of leaves almost white As they mature the inner stems and 
leaves turn white, and require to be earthed up but a short time 
before they are in condition for use. 
Where a fine appearing celery at a 
minimum amount of labor is the object, 
this variety will give entire satisfaction. 
An Improved White Plume is being offered, but careful com¬ 
parison with our stock fails to show that it is equal to that we 
offer. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; *2 Oz. 35c; % Lb. 60c; Lb. $*2.00 
Giant Pascal Celery. 
Giant Pascal-®- 
This is a green leaved variety developed from the Golden 
Yellow Large Solid, aud is an excellent sort for fall and winter 
use. It blanches very quickly to a beautiful yellowish-white color, 
is very solid and crisp and of a fine nutty flavor. The stalks grow 
broad and thick, a single plant making a large bunch. With rich 
soil and high culture this variety will be wholly satisfactory. 
Especially recommended for the south where it is prized m or e 
thau almost any other kind. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 85c; ^ Lb.
