342 Condon’s Extra 
Select White Plume 
The Very Finest for Fall and Early 
Winter Use “Crisp as Ice” 
It is a truly beautiful type. No other 
celery naturally turns white upon reaching 
maturity. All others require blanching with 
boards or with earth. The Golden Self- 
Blanching naturally turns yellow, but this 
one turns white. Not only does the stem 
whiten, but the leaf itself, especially every 
inner leaf, assumes the attractive white 
color. This makes the White Plume Celery 
one of the most showy ornaments that can 
be put upon the Thanksgiving or Christmas 
dinner table. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; 
*4 lb., 75 cts.; % lb., $1.40; lb., $2,50; post-
