272 BURPEE'S FORDHOOK O 
(L) Burpee’s Fordhook Celery is, without question, 
the finest fall and winter variety in existence. The 
plants are stocky and compact, averaging 15 to 18 in. 
tall. Although comparatively dwarf, they are so solid 
that they weigh fully 2 lbs. each. Their limited height 
is of great importance since the plants are by far 
more easily blanched than those of the taller varieties. 
The stalks, after blanching, are a beautiful pure 
silvery white with a small tender heart in the center. 
They are extremely thick, measuring over }4 in. in diameter. 
Stalks are always tender, crisp, without strings, and juicy. 
Fordhook Celery will keep in perfect condition throughout 
the winter. Pkt. 25$0; */2 oz. 45jzf; oz. 700; 4 ozs. $2.10; 
y 2 lb. $3.85; lb. $7.00. 
270 French Special Golden Plume Q 
(E) An unusually thick-set, compact Celery. It is a week earlier than Golden Self- 
Blanching, has no soft stalks, and is free from strings. The rib is 9 to 10 in. to the 
first joint. Being solid and firm, it is less liable to damage by heat or cold. Plants 
are medium size and stocky. The full-hearted, compact, thick, solid stalks bleach 
readily and are of the finest table quality. 
Pkt. 250; Vi oz. 700; oz. $1.20; 4 ozs. $3.60; >/ 2 lb. $6.60; lb. $12.00. 
266 White Plume 
(E) The earliest and the most easily blanched of all Celery varieties; at its best 
right after digging but does not keep well. The foliage is an attractive light green 
tinted with white. When blanched, the stalks are pure snowy white. They are 
tender and crisp, without any fiber or strings. Their flavor is rich and nutty. 
Highly recommended to home gardeners. 
Pkt. 100; l/ 2 oz. 200; oz. 300; 4 ozs. 850; »/ 2 lb. $1.25; lb. $2.25. 
267 Easy Blanching 
(L) This is a second-early Celery which will be ready for use soon after Golden Self- 
Blanching. The plants make a vigorous, upright yet compact growth, and the stalks are 
easily blanched to a beautiful pure white color. They are thick, solid, heavy, unusually 
meaty, pure white, crisp, altogether free from any fiber or strings, and of extra-fine flavor. 
Hardier than Golden Self-Blanching. While it is a midseason Celery, it also stores well 
throughout the winter. Pkt. 100; */ 2 oz. 250; oz. 400; 4 ozs. $1.15; >/ 2 lb. $1.80; lb. $3.25. 
Burpee's 
Fordhook 
275 Winter Queen 
(L) One of the finest dwarf winter Celeries we have ever 
grown. It resembles Golden Self-Blanching in height and 
habit, but the leaves are a rich green color and in this re¬ 
spect are not unlike those of Giant Pascal. As it blanches 
quickly it is ready for home or market much earlier in the 
fall. The plants make large bunches of extra-heavy stalks 
with very large, tightly folded hearts. 
Pkt. 50; Vi oz. 200; oz. 300; 4 ozs. 850; 
y 2 lb. $1.25; lb. $2.25. 
282 Giant Pascal 0 
(L) Considered by many the standard winter Celery. The 
pla its are productive, with tall, upright leaves of a rich 
oark green color. The stalks are tall and thick. They are 
broad, distinctly ribbed, tender, crisp, and very tasty. After 
blanching they are an attractive light yellow. Inasmuch as 
the stalks are green, soil should be used for blanching. It 
will keep in perfect condition throughout the winter months. 
Pkt. 100; Vi oz. 200; oz. 300; 4 ozs. 850; 
i/ 2 lb. $1.25; lb. $2.25. 
268 Golden Plume Q 
280 Florida Golden © 
(E) This is also 
called Wonderful, 
a name that is 
most appropriate 
for this splendid 
early variety. 
Some gardeners 
consider it the best 
early Celery in exist¬ 
ence. It is quite resis¬ 
tant to blight and rot and 
possesses very good storing 
qualities. The plants are of 
medium size, stocky, com¬ 
pact, and have a thick, full, 
creamy heart. The stalks 
blanch readily and are of 
excellent table quality. It 
resembles Golden Self-Blan¬ 
ching but is earlier, larger, 
and of more vigorous growth. 
A fine variety for the home 
and market garden. 
Pkt. 100; Vi oz. 300; 
oz. 500; 4 ozs. $1.50; 
l/ 2 lb. $2.75; lb. $5.00. 
Golden 
Plume 
(E) A newer variety that has some cf the good qualities of 
both Golden Plume or Wonderful and Golden Self-Blanch¬ 
ing. We do not know of any type of Celery that has been 
more of a favorite than this Florida Golden. It has the long 
first joint and long full heart so much desired, and stands 
cold weather well without developing soft stalks. The heart 
is a light golden color. About two weeks later than Golden 
Plume or Wonderful, but earlier than Golden Self-Blanching. 
Pkt. 150; Vi oz. 450; oz. 750; 4 ozs. $2.25; 
Vi lb. $4.10; lb. $7.50. 
Celeriac Turnip-Rooted Celery 
293 Giant Prague 
The edible portion is the 
large thick root, which is 
highly valued boiled, or is used in vegetable soup, stews, 
and other dishes. Celeriac grows best in a moderately 
moist yet well-drained soil which is fairly rich in barnyard 
manure. Frequent cultivation and occasional thorough 
watering are necessary. Start the seed in boxes indoors, 
and when the seedlings are large enough to be handled, 
transplant into the garden to stand about 8 to 10 in. apart 
each way. Use when the roots are of moderate size. Does 
not reauire blanching. Pkt. 100; Vi oz. 200; 
oz. 300; 4 ozs. 850; 1/2 lb. $1.25; lb. $2.25.
