Holmes’ 
Crisp Celery 
This new superior strain of green 
Celery is just what you have been 
looking for-—excellent for winter storage. Our customers are enthusiastic about this 
new crisp Celery which in some respects grows similar to Holmes’ Emperor; is taller 
and grows more upright and is easier to blanch. The stalks make a good height, not 
too tall, are thick, crisp, brittle, with a thick heart and delicious flavor. It blanches a 
pure white very rapidly for a green sort. No regrets if you plant Crisp Celery. Pkt.,

heavy, in shape more 
broad than high. The

much higher than other 
sorts. Its keeping qualities 
are unequalled. Pkt., 10c;

Penn State Ballhead Cabbage 
Introduced by Holmes Seed Co., 1934 
This new strain of Grand Rapids Lettuce was developed by Dr. Ira C. Hoffman 
of Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Is light green in color. It has a 
tendency to grow a little faster than some of the other strains and will 
mature a few days earlier. The individual plants are compact, stocky, and 
heavy. The leaves are large, broad and curled at the edges. They are 
thick but sweet and tender. The strain has been tried by large Lettuce 
growers who have reported it will stand several days longer than other 
strains before going to seed. This is a valuable feature. This strain will 
be re-selected from time to time to maintain its resistance and other valu¬ 
able characteristics. 
(Official Strain). Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.
