Pride of the Market 
A dwarf thick-stalked variety, 
vigorous grower, not easily 
blighted, and yields about as many boxes per acre as 
the White Solid, but not so good a keeper, and should 
be marketed after the Golden Self Blanching and be¬ 
fore the White Solid. Our seed is grown by the orig¬ 
inator. Oz., $1.50; Ya lb., $5.50; 1 lb., $20.00, postpaid.

susceptible to blight and other Celery diseases. It 
has a very full heart which bleaches quickly to a 
beautiful golden yellow color. Its quality is sur¬ 
passed by none, and its handsome appearance com¬ 
mands a ready sale in any market. An excellent sort

The New Golden Self Blanching T his new ty P e 
° is grown in 
FRANCE. It has a long stalk and is com¬ 
monly called “TALL STRAIN.” A vigorous 
and rapid grower, and not so badly affected 
by blight or disease. It can be grown on 
muck, which will not grow the old Golden Self 
Blanching, either on account of exhausted con¬ 
dition of the soil or the soil being too badly 
infected with disease spores. It makes a mag¬ 
nificent growth of tall, broad, flat stalks of a 
lighter shade of yellow. If seed is sown later 
in the open ground and transplanted in July 
or August, so that plant is not over-ripe when 
trenched, it will come out crisp and hard up 
to the first of January. The leading variety 
grown today. Oz., 75c; Ya lb., $3.00; 1 lb., 
$10.00, postpaid.

termediate between the Golden Self Blanching and 
Easy Blanching. While it is a yellow celery, it is a 
lighter shade of yellow than the Golden Self Blanch¬ 
ing. Plant is a more vigorous grower, nearly as early, 
stalks are thicker, and not quite so flat as our New 
Golden Self Blanching which it resembles. Blanches 
easily and does not become soft after bleaching. Seed 
is very pure, no green stalks or off types appearing 
and no hollow stalks. Plants very large and will turn 
out more boxes to the acre than any variety grown. 
Oz., $1.50; Ya lb., $5.00; lb., $16.00, postpaid.

uUIUcIl teristics of Golden Plume but has 
greater height and weight of plant and the edible 
portion of the stem is larger. The stems are broad, 
thick, solid, and the plants are full hearted and very 
compact. The fine even diameter of the plants makes 
them desirable for packing in crates. It has been 
selected for long standing quality. The hearts blanch 
to a rich cream color of exceptionally fine quality and 
flavor. Oz., 75c; Ya lb., $2.50; 1 lb., $10.00, postpaid.
