CELERY CONTINUED 
HOOVER SPECIAL This variety is about half way between 
Wonderful and the tall New French Golden, as it has the 
long joint characteristic of the latter and also the heavy butt 
and heart of Wonderful. It has a very long first joint and 
wide rib, and the eating quality is far superior to the Tall 
French Golden. Hoover Special bleaches very easily, and 
if necessary, can be left in the boards 10 to 12 days while 
bleaching without getting soft stalks, as some of the shorter 
sorts will. Forcing this variety to make too rapid growth 
may result in its growing too tall and not stocky enough. 
Pkt., 25c; y 2 oz, 75c; oz., $1.25; Y\ lb., $4.50; lb., $15.00. 
TALL FRENCH GOLDEN Sometimes called Tall 
Strain Paris Golden, or Tall Golden Self Blanching. 
This is a selection from the Old Strain of Paris 
Golden, and produces a taller stalk, which has not 
the stockiness of the old strain. It matures very 
early, however, and is much grown for this reason. 
Pkt., 20c; oz., $1.00; >4 lb., $3.00; lb, $10.00. 
GIANT PASCAL (Frost Strain) This is one of the 
finest green celeries known, crisp, brittle, free from 
strings, and of very excellent eating quality. All 
soft stalks are eliminated, and we believe we can 
supply you with the best strain in existence. Pkt, 
10c; y? oz, 30c; oz, 50c; 14 lb, $1.50; lb, $5.00. 
EASY BLEACHING Also called Sanford Superb. This is a 
valuable variety which follows about two weeks after Paris 
Golden. It grows well in either muck or upland, has 
splendid keeping qualities, and is somewhat resistant to 
blight. He have a choice strain produced by ourselves. Pkt, 
15c; y 2 oz, 40c; oz, 75c; y lb, $2.50; lb, $8.00. 
WOODRUFF'S BEAUTY This is one of the finest 
green sorts ever grown, and we usually have insuffi¬ 
cient seed to meet the large demand for it. It re¬ 
sembles Paris Golden in size, with a large, stocky 
golden heart, very brittle and of superb flavor. It 
is also easily blanched. Pkt, 20c; *4 oz, 75c; oz, 
$1.25; 14 lb, $4.00; lb, $15.00. 
WINTER QUEEN One of the finest dwarf winter sorts, more 
easily blanched than Giant Pascal and somewhat earlier. It 
has a large heart, creamy white and solid. Pkt, 10c; 
Vi oz, 20c; oz, 35c; % lb, 75c; lb, $2.50. 
WHITE PLUME The earliest and most easily blanched celery 
known, but as it lacks keeping qualities, it is grown for 
late summer and fall use exclusively. It has pure white 
stalks, is crisp and of good flavor. Pkt, 10c; l / 2 oz, 25c; 
oz, 40c; lb, $1.00; lb, $3.50. 
CELERIAC 
Culture Called also Knob Celery or Turnip Rooted Celery. 
More easily grown than blanched celery, as it grows a thick 
root which is fit for use when about two inches in diameter. 
Sow same as celery, but plants can be set six inches apart in 
rows two feet apart. Excellent for flavoring.
