280 Florida Golden 
(E) A newer variety that has some of the good qualities of both Golden Plume 
and Golden Self-Blanching. We do not know of any type of Celery that has been 
more of a favorite than Florida Golden. It has the long first joint and long full 
heart so much desired, and stands cold weather well without developing soft 
stalks. The heart is a light golden color. About two weeks later than Golden 
Plume, but earlier than Golden Self-Blanching.

Burpee's 
Fordhook_ 
Celery 
(L) A second-early Celery which will be ready for use soon after Golden Self- 
Blanching. Plants make a vigorous, upright yet compact growth, and the stalks are 
easily blanched. They are thick, solid, heavy,-unusually meaty, pure white, crisp, 
altogether free from any fiber or strings, and of extra-fine flavor. Hardier than Golden 
Self-Blanching. Pkt. 10^; Vz oz. 25^; oz. 40^; 4 ozs. $1.15; lb. $1.90; lb. $3.50. 
272 Burpee’s Fordhook Q 
The Finest Flavored Celery 
(L) Burpee’s Fordhook Celery is, without question, the finest 
fall and winter variety in existence. Plants are stocky and 
compact, growing 15 to 18 in. tall. Although comparatively 
dwarf, they are so solid that they weigh fully 2 lbs. each. 
Their limited height is of great importance since the plants 
are by far more easily blanched than those of the taller 
varieties. The stalks, after blanching, are a beautiful pure 
silvery white with a tender full heart in the center. They are extremely 
thick, measuring over yi in. in diameter. Always tender, crisp, without 
strings, and juicy. Fordhook Celery will keep in perfect condition 
throughout the winter. If you grow only one Celery, try Fordhook.

266 White Plume 
275 Winter Queen 
(L) One of the finest dwarf winter Celeries we have ever 
grown. It resembles Golden Self-Blanching in height and 
liabit, but the leaves are a rich green color and in this 
respect are not unlike tliose of Giant Pascal. As it blanches 
quickly it is ready for home or market much earlier in the 
fall. The plants make large bunches of extra-heavy stalks 
with very large, tightly folded, creamy white hearts.

282 Giant Pascal Q 
(L) Considered by many the standard winter Celery. The 
plants are productive, with tall, upright leaves of a rich dark 
green color. The stalks are tall and thick. They are broad, 
distinctly ribbed, tender, crisp, and very tasty. After 
blanching they are an attractive light yellow. Inasmuch as 
the stalks are green, soil should be used for blanching. It 
will keep in perfect condition throughout the winter montlis.

CELERIAC or Turnip-Rooted Celery

® thick root, which is highly valued 
boiled, or is used in vegetable soup, stews, and other dishes.

in boxes indoors, and when the seedlings are large enough to be 
handled, transplant into the garden to stand about 8 to 10 in. 
apart each way. Use when the roots are of moderate size. Does 
not require blanching. Pkt. 10^; 1/2 oz. 20;;;;
