PARIS 
GOLDEN-YELLOW 
LARGE SOLID. 
This celery has be¬ 
come exceedingly pop- 
| ular, blanching sooner 
v than any other sort. 
It surpasses in about 
all the characteristics 
sought after,—vigor of 
growth, a tendency 
under high cultivation 
to shoulder like the Boston 
Market, large size, readiness in 
blanching, it being to a large degree self¬ 
blanching , and in possessing the rich, 
nutty flavor of the best varieties. It is de¬ 
cidedly a better keeper than most of the self¬ 
blanching sorts, though surpassed in this respect 
by the Boston Market, Pascal, and Arlington. 
We would advise all market gardeners to give it a 
trial. Mr. W. H. Munroe, of Beverly, Mass., 
writes us: “I find the Golden-Yellow Large 
Solid Celery to be very large and stalky, very 
easily blanched, very line in flavor, and of a rich 
golden-yellow color. I very much like it.” 
F. J. Kinney, Worcester, Mass., indorses this 
variety as the best he has thus far found, for 
winter market. This has become the acknowl¬ 
edged early variety grown for the very discrimi¬ 
nating people of Boston, by the market gardeners 
who supply them. Price, per pound, postpaid, 
$3.50; per I pound, $1.10; per ounce, 35 cents; 
per package, 10 cents. 
This is said to be “the most perfect type of Dwarf White 
Celery known.” Very distinct and handsome, of a beautiful 
cream-white color throughout, it attains a very large size, is of 
quick growth, stiff and close habit, is remarkably solid, crisp 
eating, and finely flavored. The ribs are very broad, thickly 
and closely set. By reason of its neat growth and showy 
appearance, it is a specially valuable variety for market. A 
first-class keeper. Price, per lb., postpaid, $2.25; per \ lb., 
68 cts.; per oz., 25 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts. 
Crawford’s Half-Dwarf. 
Crawford’s Half-Dwarf. 
This variety is very exten¬ 
sively grown by the market 
gardeners who supply the markets of New York City. It has 
a rich, nutty flavor, and great vigor of growth. When 
blanched, it is very ornamental for the table, and surpasses 
most of the large-growing sorts in weight of bunch, when 
grown under the same conditions. Price, per lb., postpaid, 
$2.00; per \ lb., 58 cts.; per oz., 25 cts.; per pkg., 5 cts. 
Cory for first early. 
Egyptian for last late. 
ZKTIES HPXjYTSS UXjiTIlik. 
Under this latter name we introduced to the public a num¬ 
ber of years ago a variety of sweet corn, since called the “ Ne 
Plus Ultra,” which Latin name translated into English would 
read “The unsurpassable corn.” This corn has a very pecul¬ 
iar appearance, the kernels being irregular in shape and dis¬ 
tribution on the cob. In the matter of sweetness and tender¬ 
ness, which, after all, are the special points with the gardener, 
the “ Ne Plus Ultra ” has never been surpassed. The ears are 
rather below medium size, but as an offset several grow on 
each stalk. Price, per qt., postpaid, 32 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts. 
LIVINGSTONS EVERGREEN SWEET. 
We find this comes in about a fortnight earlier than 
Stowell’s, yielding large, handsome ten or twelve rowed ears, 
the kernels of which are extra tender and extra sweet. Capital 
variety to follow Moore’s. Price, per qt., postpaid, 37 cts.; 
per pkg., 10 cts. 
E*JBRRY’S HYBRID. 
On our experimental grounds this has proved to be very 
early, and a remarkably large-eared sort for one so early. 
We would suggest to our farmer friends that either this or 
the Boston Market, if planted at the same time, would follow, 
for marketing, just after the Cory. Price, per qt., postpaid, 
32 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts. 
POTTER’S EXCELSIOR. 
We don't think theje is a sweeter, richer-flavored corn for 
the table than this. Its quality is a surprise to us, and we 
think it will be to any of our customers who have not as yet 
grown it. In its season this is the favorite corn in the res¬ 
taurants of the large cities. There is *but little call for any 
other in Boston when the Excelsior comes into the market. 
Price, per qt., postpaid, 32 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts. 
MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH SWEET. 
Green ears have been exhibited weighing between two amd 
three pounds. It is the earliest, sweetest, and largest of all 
the Mammoth Sweet varieties. Probably no other sweet corn 
will yield as much fodder, and it is extensively planted to be 
fed green, or be put into the silo. Price, per qt., postpaid, 32 
cts/; per pkg., 10 cts. 
ORIGINAL CROSBY. 
This is just what its name imports, the original Crosby (it 
originated in Marblehead, Mass.), very short stalked, very 
small kernelled, and very early. The ears form very near the 
ground. Sweet and of rich flavor, from twelve to sixteen 
rowed. Our stock was presented to us by old Josiah Crosby 
himself. A great favorite in the Boston market. Price, per 
qt., postpaid, 32 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts.
