Original Prize-Winning Golden Plume (Taller Strain) 
Each year our strain of Golden Plume wins prizes in hundreds of local, (bounty, 
and state contests. It shows consistent highest quality year after year—you can 
absolutely depend upon it. This seed is Jersey grown, under our own supervision, 
costs more to produce, but greatly ex¬ 
cels California seed. It closely resembles 
the old Golden Self-Blanching in crispness 
and flavor, but is distinctly larger and 
ranker in growth, more plainly ribbed, 
blanches more quickly, matures one week 
earlier, and shows less tendency to blight 
or crown-rot than any other Golden Plume 
strain. It shows the large, fuII-pIumed 
center so much desired. Our Golden 
Plume is first on the market. 
Golden Plume (Shorter Strain) 
We offer this shorter strain for those 
markets which prefer a shorter-stalked 
Golden Plume Celery. This seed also is 
Jersey-grown, costs more to produce, 
but greatly excels California seed. It is 
just as full-hearted as the taller type, 
grows very rapidly, and matures one 
week earlier than any other Golden Plume 
strain. If you like a shorter-stalked 
strain, try this one this year. 
Tall Golden Self-Blanching 
The foliage is distinct from the dwarf 
strain, resists blight better, is more 
vigorous, develops very rapidly and 
grows one-fourth taller. It blanches up 
very quickly, but the heart, while long, 
is not so heavy as in Golden Plume. It 
matures early and ships well. 
Golden Plume Celery 
Dwarf Golden Self-Blanching. The plants, 
free from green-top, are even, compact, 
and stocky with yellow-green foliage turn¬ 
ing golden. Stalks are ivory-white, very 
thick, broad, solid, crisp, big-hearted, and 
of fine flavor. This strain grows slower 
than Tall Golden Self-Blanching. 
Golden Plume, Standard Strain. This is not 
Jersey-grown but is a very good strain 
with a nice heart and quite heavy stalks 
about as tall as Taller Strain. 
Michigan Golden, Yellows-Resistant. De¬ 
veloped by Michigan State College to 
resist “yellows.” The type is between Tall 
Golden and Golden Plume; the heart and 
stalks like the former but the foliage re¬ 
sembles Golden Plume. The strain is very 
uniform. With cool, moist conditions, our 
Golden Plume is better for early crop, but 
with hot, dry “yellows,” Michigan Golden 
is unexcelled. It is best to spray well, as 
this strain is not immune to blight. 
Celeriac or Knob Celery 
One ounce sows 800 feet 
Dwarf Moonarchie. Produces large, smooth roots of fine quality, which are used as a flavoring 
or eaten as a salad. The “knob” will grow larger if the outer leaves are pulled and used for 
soup greens. This strain is fine-grained, free from the side roots, and has a short top.
