GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CHAFE 118 
Our strain, selected from French Stock of the true dwarf type, is unexcelled. A very 
desirable early celery, still the most popular variety for general market and table use. 
PLANT—Medium height, erect and compact, blanches easily to a beautiful creamy 
white stalk and golden yellow foliage. 
STALK —Medium long, thick, solid, free from pithiness and of fine nutty flavor. 
UTAH PASCAL or GOLDEN CRISP CAPPY 130 
Rather late in maturity, but about 10 days earlier than Giant Pascal. Of the green type and 
excellent for fall use. 
PLANT—Medium large, stocky, sturdy, erect, compact, solid, and blanches very nicely 
into a valuable sort for the market. 
STALK —Thick, solid, crisp, tender, of excellent quality and flavor. 
WHITE PLUME CHAIN 112 
A splendid extra early variety. Its beautiful silvery white stalks and leaves, along with 
hardiness and earliness, make it one of the best varieties for the home and market garden. 
Although not a long keeper, it is usually on the market and sold before the later types 
are ready. 
PLANT —Taller, more slender, and resistant to blight, than the Golden Self-Blanching; 
when growing, leaves are green, touched with white,- very easily blanched. 
STALK —Solid, tender, of good quality and flavor. 
CHICORY 
Cichorum Intybus 
WITLOOF or FRENCH ENDIVE EVENT 
One of the finest salad vegetables. The popular type grown by home and market gardeners 
and shippers. The long, compact, head-like cluster of well-blanched leaves is formed 
from parsnip-shaped transplanted roots. Usually the roots are placed in forcing beds, 
where regulated conditions produce pleasantly flavored, well-blanched leaves. 
COLLARDS 
Brassica oleracea—var. acephala 
CABBAGE COLLARDS CHIRS 
The result of a cross between the cabbage, Charleston Wakefield, and Georgia Collards. 
This variety forms a loose, white head, instead of a rosette of leaves like the regular 
Georgia variety. In general, this newly formed cabbage collard acquired the hardiness 
of the old collard to withstand severe cold and heat and also the heading quality as well 
as the flavor from the Wakefield cabbage. A very desirable type for the South, as the 
heads may be harvested as needed during the winter. 
GEORGIA CHARM 
A most hardy sort to withstand severe weather conditions. It is a non-heading type of the 
cabbage family, which forms a rosette or loose cluster of tender leaves at the top of a large 
plant from 2 to 3 feet in height. A splendid sort for greens. Generally grown in the 
South and adapted to conditions where cabbage will not grow. 
CORN SALAD 
Valerianella Locusta 
LARGE LEAVED CLAMP 
Sometimes called Lamb’s Lettuce. An extremely hardy type plant that forms rosettes of 
tender leaves which are used as a substitute for lettuce and mixing with salads. Leaves 
are large, rounded, and thick.
