CELERY 
PARIS GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING (Old Strain) A 
so-called yellow celery of dwarf compact growth. It 
is easily blanched, is full-hearted, and of very fine 
flavor. It keeps well. This is the original strain of 
Golden Self Blanching as first introduced in France, 
oz., $1.00; >4 lb., $3.00; lb., $10.00. 
TALL FRENCH GOLDEN Sometimes called Tall Strain 
Paris Golden, or Tall Golden Self Blanching. This 
is a selection from the Old Strain of Paris Golden, 
and produces a taller stalk, which has not the stock¬ 
iness of the old strain. It matures very early, how¬ 
ever, and is much grown for this reason. Pkt., 20c; 
oz., $1.00; J4 lb., $3.00; lb., $10.00. 
GIANT PASCAL (Frost Strain) This is one of the 
finest green celeries known, crisp, brittle, free from 
strings, and of very excellent eating quality. All soft 
stalks are eliminated, and we believe we can supply 
you with the best strain in existence. Pkt., 10c; 
54 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; 54 lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 
EASY BLEACHING Also called Sanford Superb. 
This is a valuable variety which follows about two 
weeks after Paris Golden. It grows well in either 
muck or upland, has splendid keeping qualities, and 
is somewhat resistant to blight. We have a choice 
strain produced by ourselves. Pkt., 15c; 54 oz., 40c; 
oz., 75c; 54 lb., $2.50; lb., $8.00. 
WOODRUFF'S BEAUTY This is one of the finest 
green sorts ever grown, and we usually have insuffi¬ 
cient seed to meet the large demand for it. It re¬ 
sembles Paris Golden in size, with a large, stocky 
golden heart, very brittle and of superb flavor. It 
is also easily bleached. Pkt., 20c; 54 oz., 75c; oz., 
$1.25; 54 lb., $4.00; lb., $15.00. 
WINTER QUEEN One of the finest dwarf winter sorts, 
more easily blanched than Giant Paschal and some¬ 
what earlier. It has a large heart, creamy white and 
solid. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 14 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
WHITE PLUME The earliest and most easily blanched 
celery known, but as it lacks keeping qualities, it is 
grown for late summer and fall use exclusively. It 
has pure white stalks, is crisp and of good flavor 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; oz., 40c; J4 lb-, $100; lb., $3.50. 
MEISCH'S SPECIAL GOLDEN An improved Won¬ 
derful or Golden Plume, which has a longer first 
joint and lacks the big “jumbo” stalks with short 
joints. The plants run very uniform in size. It 
grows a little taller than Wonderful. This variety 
should be grown on black muck or soil which is well 
watered in order to secure stocky growth. Pkt., 
25c; 54 oz., 75c; oz., $1.25; 54 lb, $4.50; lb, $15.00.

Mass, with the celery which won him first prize at 
the Field Day of the Massachusetts Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station at Waltham, 1933 and 1934. The

many prizes in the past. Photo by courtesy of Mr. Paul

CELERIAC 
GIANT SMOOTH PRAGUE Called also Knob Celery or 
Turnip Rooted Celery. More easily grown than blanched 
celery, as it grows a thick root which is fit for use when 
about two inches in diameter. Sow same as celery, but 
plants can be set six inches apart in rows two feet apart. 
Excellent for flavoring. Pkt., 15c; J4 oz, 35c; oz, 60c; 
lb, $2.00; lb, $6.00.
