strain intermediate in type between Tall Golden and Golden 
Plume and bred by plant pathologists of Michigan State

lows, also known as root rot, crown rot, “sickness” and

CELERY 
NON-BOLTING GOLDEN PLUME (115 days) 
New. Will not bolt to seed even under quite unfavor¬ 
able weather conditions. In all other respects Non-Bolting 
is similar to regular Golden Plume. Same high quality, just 
as easy to blanch out but is not quite as resistant to fusar- 
ium yellows as regular Golden Plume and we do not recom¬ 
mend it for sections where that disease is prevalent. Height 
20 in. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; lb. $12.00. 
CELERY CRISPHEART (112 days) 
Of all “green” celeries about the easiest to blanch. 
Plants compact with medium dark green tops. Height in 
California 25 to 29 inches overall and 7 to 10 inches to joint, 
mostly 8 to 10 inches. Eastern reports show height varying 
from 18 to 28 inches according to conditions. Plants have 
ample girth, the extreme outer stems are narrow but when 
striped for market show only broad, very thick stems, a 
compact formation and creamy blanch. It is crisp and free 
from strings. Flavor is rich yet mild. Blanches readily 
enough to be fit for market after being papered for 3 or 4 
weeks. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; lb. $5.00. 
CHOP SUEY GREENS 
Used in the preparation of the famous dish, Chop Suey, or 
can be used like any other greens. Of distinct flavor not found
