Forbes Golden Plume (Shorter Type) 
Some markets prefer a shorter-stalked Golden Plume Celery than Forbes 
Prize-Winning Strain (Taller Type). For this demand we offer this Shorter 
Type Strain. This seed also is Jersey-grown, costs more to produce, 
but greatly excels California seed. It is just as full-hearted as the taller 
type. 
Golden Plume, Standard Strain 
This is not Jersey-grown seed but nevertheless is a very good strain of 
Golden Plume. It has a nice heart and quite heavy stalks. In height, it 
comes between our shorter type and taller type Jersey-grown Golden 
Plumes. 
Easy-Blanching Green Celery 
Newark Market 
Its great distinctions are its ability to blanch quickly, great vigor, and complete 
resistance to Celery “sickness,” heart rot, or blight. The plant is somewhat taller than 
Golden Self-blanching, the foliage is broader, and the stalks are higher jointed, heavier, 
and more plainly ribbed. The stalks are easily blanched, by boarding, in from two to 
three weeks’ time, and blanching may be hastened by partial earthing up before 
boarding. Newark Market develops very rapidly and produces large, thick, fleshy 
stalks of great solidity, very brittle, crisp and of fine flavor. 
For Celeriac (Turnip-rooted Celery) see page 9 
Because we offer three 
distinct strains of Golden 
Plume, two strains of 
Golden Self-blanching, 
and two of Giant Pascal, 
please be careful to indi¬ 
cate plainly which strain 
you are ordering. 
Newark Market Celery 
Late Green Varieties 
Giant Pascal 
A very desirable long-keeping green winter variety, growing about 2 feet high, 
making broad, thick, stringless stalks and large hearts. The hearts blanch to golden 
yellow and the crisp, solid stalks to a pearly 
white. Giant Pascal is the finest-flavored 
Celery, exceeding all others in its rich nutty 
flavor. It is specially suited for midwinter < 
use as the stalks remain solid and brittle and 
it retains its color and fresh appearance for a 
long time after being stored. 
Giant Pascal, Jersey Private Strain 
We offer, in limited quantities, this very special private strain which we con¬ 
sider the ultimate in flavor, crispness, and perfect keeping quality. Our Jersey 
Strain Giant Pascal grows with more vigor, is heavier, with thicker stalks and 
larger, fuller hearts, but retaining that hard, solid, keeping quality.
