Days are from transplanting to maturity 
EASY BLANCHING — SANFORD SUPERB (125 days)—A new variety, resem¬ 
bling Golden Self Blanching, but the leaves are green and the stalks blanch 
white instead of yellow. It is also more hardy and less likely to blight. Stalks 
are somewhat taller, but have the same form and heavy heart of the Self 
Blanching, and while maturing about two weeks after that variety, has the 
advantage in being an excellent winter keeper as well as an early celery. One 
of the easiest to blanch and of best quality. 
EMPEROR, or FORDHOOK (130 days)—A valuable selection from Columbia. 
Plant quite dwarf and stocky, with large, full light yellow heart. Stalks broad, 
thick and crisp. Follows Self Blanching in season and is a superior sort for 
fall and winter use. Very tender and too brittle for shipment to distant markets. 
GIANT PASCAL (135 days)—A compact, vigorous, productive variety and one 
of the best for winter use; leaves upright, short and dark green; stalks short, 
thick and very broad. Blanches a beautiful yellowish-white. 
• GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING DWARF — Selected Stock (120 days)—Our strain 
of this variety is unexcelled and absolutely reliable. This sort is without doubt 
the finest early celery in cultivation. Plants compact and stocky, with yellow¬ 
ish-green foliage; stalks perfectly solid, of a fine, nutty flavor, attaining good 
size. Blanches a handsome golden yellow color. A superior, dependable strain 
for the critical trade.
