Celery Plants. 
We grow celery and celery plants, but have no green houses, and cannot sup¬ 
ply early plants—only stocky, well rooted out-door-grown plants, which are 
usually of sufficient root for transplanting, about June 25th to July 1st. 
We find the following varieties give the most satisfactory results with us: 
WHITE PLUME.— -This is undoubtedly the most easily grown variety in 
cultivation, as it is nearly self-blanching. 
NEW WINTER QUEEN. — This is our favorite variety for late fall and winter 
use, being a strong grower, and producing a broad, creamy-white stalk of the 
very finest flavor, and so brittle that it needs careful handling to prevent break¬ 
ing. With White Plume for early, and the Winter Queen for late, you need noth¬ 
ing better. 
By mail, postpaid, 100, 35c; 500 $1.50. By express, purchaser paying charges, 
100, 25c; 1,000, $1.50; 500 at 1,000 rate. Write for prices on large lots. 
Chicago. July 28, ’04. 
Enclosed find P. O. order for $1.05 for 300 celery plants sent to ray address at 
Bismark, N. D. My folks wrote me the plants arrived in excellent shape and con¬ 
dition. JOE DIETRICK. 
Cabbage Plants. 
If you can use cabbage plants write us for varieties on hand and prices. 
Seed Corn. 
The past season has been very unfavorable for all kinds of corn, especially 
sweet corn, as the early frost come before it was near dry on the stalk and those 
who have not a kiln or other facitities for drying it will not be able to furnish 
sweet corn seed this year, with the result that it will be scarce and high in price. 
We have a new kiln and have thoroughly fire dried all the corn we offer and can 
furnish the following varieties in reasonable quantities and of the very best 
quality. 
WHITE COBBED CORY. — We have tested many varieties of extra early 
sweet corn, but have never found anything equal to White Cobbed Cory. Our 
strain of Cory grows good long ears with broad deep grain which is as white as 
snow and ready for market earlier than any other variety we ever grew. Stalks 
short, leafy, often producing two or more marketable ears to the stalk and for 
first early for your own table or for market we know of nothing equal to it. 
By mail, postpaid, pint, 20c; quart, 35c. By freight or express, customer pay¬ 
ing charges, 4 quarts, 50c; jDeck, 85c; ^ bushel, $1.50; bushel, $2.50.

Dear Sirs:— The plants and potatoes come Wednesday in good condition. 
The plants are surely fine ones and I am highly pleased with them. The pota¬ 
toes look nice. Thank you for the extras; rather more than I expected for 
such expensive plants and I will try and make the most of them. Again 
thanking you for kind and prompt treatment. 
Very respectfully, E. P. FARNSWORTH.
