Perfected White Plume Celery 
Each year adds to the popularity and value ofWliite 
Plume Celery. Like our Golden Self-Blanching, it requires 
very little earthing up to blanch it, and although its keeping 
qualities are not equal to our Golden Self-Blanching , yet as a 
t celery for the full and early winter use, it is unsurpassed. 
Our strain of this variety is closely selected each year, and 
will be found entirely free from green celery, so prevalent in 
j much of this seed sold. Market gardeners everywhere, who 
purchase from us, are unanimous in pronouncing our White 
I Plume the best and purest strain they can get. Pkt., 10c.; 
I oz , 25c.; 34 lb., 70c.; lb., 82.25, postpaid; 2 lbs. for $4.00. 
New Pink Plume Celery 
This new celery is practically identical with White 
Plume, except that the stalks are suffused with a dainty pink, 
adding the crispness nnd rich nutty flavor for which the red 
celeries are noted. It is a strong, healthy, compact grower, 
with no tendency to rust; extra early and a good keeper. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; % lb., 70c.; lb., $2.25. 
Giant Pascal Celery 
This variety is also a sport from our Golden Self-Blanch¬ 
ing, thoroughly established by careful selection. It partakes 
of the best qualities of that variety, but is somewhat larger 
and taller. It is of a fine nutty flavor, being entirely free 
from any bitter taste. It grows about two feet high ; the 
stalksare very broad, thick, crisp and very brittle; the width 
and thickness of these are distinctive features of this variety. 
It bleaches with but slight “earthing up,” nnd very quickly* 
usually in five or six days. A splendid keeper for winter- 
use. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75. 
PERLE LE GRAND CELERY 
VALUABLE FOR BOTH EARLY AND LATE USE. 
The Perle Le Grand Celery was named and introduced by us 
ill 1891, and has met with large sale. Its beautiful, full golden 
heart and rich nutty flavor are unapproached by any of the 
older sorts. On the market stall it is extremely showy and 
salable, a single plant making a good-sized bunch and sur¬ 
passing nearly all other sorts in weight. It is not only a good 
early celery, being among the first fit to use, but also valua¬ 
ble as a winter keeper, remaining, when properlv trenched, 
in perfect condition away into the spring. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c • 
& lb., 85c.; lb., S3.00, postpaid; 2 lbs., $5.75; 5 lbs. and over! 
S2./o per pound, by express or freight.
