Slew Celery 'Winter Queen 
THE VERY BEST LATE KEEPER 
Ourattention was first called to tliis remarkable 
new celery three years ago in the market, where it 
was selling at high prices in the month of May, 
after all other celeries were done. After great per¬ 
suasion and at high cost, we procured from the 
grower a small quantity of seed, from which our 
present supply is grown. It is, without doubt, the 
most valuable variety of celery for winter and 
spring use ever introduced, far excelling the cele¬ 
brated Perle le Grand and Perfection Ileartwell as 
a late winter keeper. It is also much stouter, 
thicker and heavier, with double the amount of 
heart of any known celery. The plant is beautiful 
in appearance, of close habit and compact growth, 
and blanches to a beautiful cream white. Ribs 
perfectly solid, crisp and of delicious nutty flavor. 
It is worthy of first place as a late celery, 
and will keep longer than any other variety. 
Grow Winter Queen once and you will grow it 
always. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; J lb.," §1.25 ; lb., §4.00.

Svergreen Sweet Corn 
As is well known, the famous Evergreen Sweet 
Corn originated over twenty years ago with Mr. 
ytowel 1, a grower for Philadelphia markets ; but 
while one of the best late varieties, no eflort has 
ever been made to improve it in earliness until 
now. In the New Early Evergreen we have a 
selection possessing every good quality of Stowell’s 
Evergreen and resembling it in every respect (see 
photograph of marketable ears below, made for 
comparison), except that the stalk is about one foot 
shorter, more closely jointed, and that it will 
mature for market in eighty days, or fully ten days 
earlier. Could anything better be wished for? 
And we can, without qualification, recommend it 
as the very best sugar corn in existence. No other 
sweet corn will find ready sale in a market which 
is supplied with Early Evergreen, and the market 
gardener who wishes to get the cream of.the trade 
or the home gardener who wants his table supplied 
with the best should make their plantings of tliis 
splendid novelty, l’kt., 10c.; pt., 25e.; qt., 45c.,
