JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 
NEW COLUMBIA CELERY 
A great acquisition in earliness, showy form 
and superior quality. Market gardeners in all 
sections where grown say it outsells all others. 
The plant is of medium height, but very stocky 
and heavy. Stalks are thick, resembling in shape 
those of Giant Pascal. The color has in it more of 
the rich yellow tint of Paris Golden Self-Blanching. 
The foliage is of a distinctly light' shade of green, 
with a tinge of yellow. In season it follows in close 
succession Golden Self-Blanching. 
Pkt., 15c.; oz., 35c.; 14 lb., 90c.; lb., $3.25. 
What a Large Michigan Celery Grower Says 
of New Columbia: 
H. L. Harris, Newberry, Mich., writes:—“All 
the celery seed purchased from you gave finest re¬ 
sults, especially the ‘New Columbia,’ which I con¬ 
sider a wonderful variety for market and keeping.”

This is no doubt the finest type of late winter 
keeping celery ever offered, even surpassing in this 
respect our famous Winter Queen Celery. Our at¬ 
tention was first called to it in New York markets 
two years ago, and upon investigation we learned 
the name of the grower on Long Island and secured 
from him, at high cost, a few ounces of seed, from 
which our present supply is grown. It is the 
heaviest green celery, full hearted, very solid and 
crisp. Pkt., 20c.; oz., 50c.; X lb., $1.35: lb., $5.00. 
SILVER SELF-BLANCHING 
A combination of the two most widely known 
celeries, being similar in habit of growth to Golden 
Self Blanching, and like White Plume in color of 
foliage. It is a rapid grower and requires no bank¬ 
ing other than placing boards on each side of the 
plants. The heart is full and solid, and both it and 
the inner stalks are pure white. The flavor is 
delicious and will please the most critical. 
Pkt., ioc.; oz., 25c.; X lb., 75c.; lb., $2.73.
