GOLDEN RLUME\\v 
Golden Self Blanching The best of a11 self-blanching varieties. 
_-- It is without doubt the most popular cel¬ 
ery grown. The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of a delicious flavor 
which is not surpassed by any other variety while it has the decided merit of 
being self-blanching to a remarkable degree. It is extensively grown for market 
and private use, not only on account of its easy culture but for its superior 
quality. The hearts are large and hard and blanched to a beautiful golden yellow. 
When grown in moist soil the stalks are numerous and large in size. Pkt. Sc.;

recommend without reserve. It is fully a 
week earlier than Golden Self Blanching, is 
similar in color and flavor but is superior 
to it as this variety blanches more easily, 
is more blight-resistant. It has been espec¬ 
ially selected for large, solid hearts. Spec¬ 
imen stalks have been grown 2 ft. tall and 
4 14 in. thick. Has been blanched in the re¬ 
markably short period of 5 days. Select

WHITE FLUME 
White Plume This is the earliest and most easily blanched celery.

snowy whiteness even without earthing up; but stalks should be gathered to¬ 
gether and earthed up as in the other varieties so as to produce close, attractive 
bunches. As for succulence, crispness and quality the White Plume is un¬ 
equalled. Pkt. 5c.; Yz °z. 15c.; oz. 25c.
