GOLDEN PLUME or WONDER¬ 
FUL. This selection from 
Golden Self-Blanching has the 
crispness and nuttiness of 
that variety, but is earlier, 
larger and of ranker growth, 
and blanches more quickly. 
It is apparently most resist¬ 
ant to rust and disease and 
withstands heat better. Not a Winter keeper. It 
is a beautiful gold in color, brittle and of highest 
table quality. Pkt., 10 c; oz., 40c; *4 lb., $1.25,

this standard celery for early use. It is not quite as early as White 
Plume, but the plants are heavier and of more compact growth. Self¬ 
blanching, the color is a rich golden yellow; nearly stringless; the stalks 
are thick, crisp and brittle; while for flavor this sort is unsurpassed.
