GOLDEN PLUME No. 40 (Med. Tall Type) CELHI 
Our special strain of Golden Plume for the large shippers of the South and market 
gardeners. Has a longer first joint developing a premium bunch over the regular 
Golden Plume. 
PLANT AND STALK—Taller plant and makes a longer first joint than regular Golden 
Plume to meet the demand of the shipper. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CHAFE 
Our strain, selected from French Stock of the true dwarf type, is unexcelled. A very 
desirable early celery, still the most popular variety for general market and table use. 
PLANT—Medium height, erect and compact, blanches easily to a beautiful creamy 
white stalk and golden yellow foliage. 
STALK —Medium long, thick, solid, free from pithiness and of fine nutty flavor. 
UTAH PASCAL or Golden Crisp CAPPY 
Rather late in maturity, but about 10 days earlier than Giant Pascal. Of the green types 
it is the most popular celery on the market today and justly so for its superb flavor and 
quality. Excellent for fall use. As a shipping variety it is limited due to its tenderness. 
PLANT—Medium large, stocky, sturdy, erect, compact, solid, and blanches very nicely 
into a valuable sort for the market. 
STALK —Thick, solid, crisp, tender, stringless, of excellent quality and flavor. 
WHITE PLUME CHAIN 
A splendid extra early variety. Its beautiful silvery white stalks and leaves, along with 
hardiness and earliness, make it one of the best varieties for the home and market 
garden. Although not a long keeper, it is usually on the market and sold before the 
later types are ready. 
PLANT—Taller, more slender, and resistant to blight, than the Golden Self-Blanching; 
when growing, leaves are green, touched with white; very easily blanched. 
STALK —Solid, tender, of good quality and flavor.

CHICORY 
Cichorum Intybus 
WITLOOF or French Endive EVENT 
One of the finest salad vegetables. The popular type grown by home and market 
gardeners and shippers. The long, compact, head-like cluster of well-blanched leaves is 
formed from parsnip-shaped transplanted roots. Usually the roots are placed in forcing 
beds, where regulated conditions produce distinctly flavored, well-blanched leaves. 
COLLARDS 
Brassica oleracea - var. acephala 
CABBAGE COLLARDS CHIRS 90 
The result of a cross between the cabbage, Charleston Wakefield, and Georgia Collards. 
This variety forms a loose, white head, instead of a rosette of leaves like the regular 
Georgia variety. In general, this newly formed cabbage collard acquired the hardiness 
of the old collard to withstand severe cold and heat and also the heading quality as well 
as the flavor from the Wakefield cabbage. A very desirable type for the South, as the 
heads may be harvested as needed during the winter. 
GEORGIA or Southern CHARM 80 
A most hardy sort to withstand severe weather conditions. It is a non-heading type of 
the cabbage family, which forms a rosette or loose cluster of tender leaves at the top of 
a large plant from 2 to 3 feet in height. A splendid sort for greens. Generally grown in 
the South and adapted to conditions where cabbage will not grow. 
CORN SALAD 
Valerianella Locusta 
LARGE LEAVED CLAMP 
Sometimes called Lamb's lettuce. An extremely hardy type plant that forms rosettes of 
tender leaves which are used as a substitute for lettuce and mixing with salads. Leaves 
are large, rounded, and thick.
