CELERY— (Continued ) 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING. Our 
strain of this variety is unexcelled 
and absolutely reliable; this sort Is 
without doubt the finest early cel¬ 
ery in cultivation. It is perfectly 
solid, attains a good size and when 
blanched is of a handsome golden 
yellow.

CELERIAO OR TURNIP ROOTED 
CELERY. In this kind of celery, 
the roots have been developed by 
cultivation and not the leafstalks. 
The roots, which are the edible 
portion, keep well for winter use 
and are excellent for soups and 
stews. They are also cooked and 
sliced as a salad. Sow seed at the 
same season and give the same 
treatment as common celery.

TRUE WATER CRESS. Grows along 
the banks of ponds and streams 
and is easily introduced, wholly
