JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 
MY ICRS’ QUICK-GROWING WHITE PKUME CEEERY 
A new strain of White I’lnrne Celery, selected and improved by Myers & Bowman, the well-known 
Philadelphia market gardeners. It is unquestionably the earliest celery known, being ready for market 
10 days to 2 weeks earlier than any other strain. It differs also from the old White Plume in size and 
habit, somewhat resembling the Paris Golden Self-Blanching, but more stocky and robust, throwing out 
from 8 to 12 hearts. Leaves are very light in color and entirely free from green celery. It has proven to 
he by far the handsomest, best and most salable early celery that has been offered on Philadelphia 
markets the past three seasons. Choice home-grown seed, per pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; } lb., $1.10 ; lb., $4.00.

inches thick.
