Golden Plume 4162 (New Strain) 
85 days. Our improved strain, bred to fill the need for a taller, 
longer stemmed Golden Plume. Retains earliness and ease of 
blanching of original strain but is more compact in form, 
straighter, and better “shingled”; much better adapted to 
standard crate. Heavy producer. Normally 24 to 26 inches tall 
with stems 73^ to 8^2 inches long and hearts full. 
MORSE’S MASTERPIECE 
90 days. Our 1939 introduction. A distinct and superior variety 
combining earliness of self blanching strains with excellent 
quality of green varieties. Normally 24 to 26 inches tall, with 
thick stems 8 to 9 inches long, broad and straight with rounded 
edges; almost free from strings; crisp, fleshy, rich in flavor; 
blanch to clear cream color. 
NON-BOLTING GOLDEN PLUME (Our 1936Introduction) 
100 days. A dwarf compact strain of Golden Plume. Upright with 
full hearts and exceptionally rigid stems of thick moderately 
rounded shape. In repeated tests this has resisted bolting under 
severe conditions. In cool weather it is not tall enough for most 
commercial crates, but in warm weather it is 20 to 24 inches tall 
on good land. Especially adapted for an early summer crop where 
seedlings are grown in cold frames. 
SUPERPLUME (Our 1938 Introduction) 80 days 
Similar in size and general appearance to Golden Plume, but 
has thicker, longer, meatier stems of better quality. Edible 
portion of stem 7 to 9 inches to first joint. Texture remarkably 
good, very firm yet crisp, and comparatively free from strings. 
Blanches easily to attractive, light cream. Not resistant to fu- 
sarium yellows. 
SUPREME GOLDEN (Our 1937 Introduction) 95 days 
The newest development in the Golden Self Blanching class. 
Meets the demand for celery with longer edible stems. Height 22 
to 27 in.; stems 8 to 10 in. to first joint. The compact, well formed 
plants pack well in the crate. Earlier and taller than Golden 
Detroit. Well adapted to Florida for winter crop and to northern 
districts for main crop. Outstanding for length and fullness of 
hearts. 
Tall Golden Yellow Self Blanching 85 days 
Very early. Desirable for shipping under special conditions 
though not so firm as the dwarf types. Plants tall, 20 to 30 inches, 
stalks medium thick, blanch very readily. Its chief value lies in 
the fact that it is fully a month earlier than the Dwarf variety. 
Utah or Golden Crisp 130 days 
An excellent green variety for fall use, maturing about a week or 
ten days earlier than Giant Pascal. Plants sturdy, compact, and 
exceptionally solid. Stems are broad, but thick and well rounded. 
Of fine quality and rich nutty flavor. 
White Plume 125 days 
Valuable for early market. Foliage green tinted white; stalks and 
foliage blanch very readily to snowy-white. 
Winter Queen 130 days 
The best late or winter variety. Moderately dwarf, erect and 
compact with solid heart. Green variety. 
Soup or Cutting 
Not suitable for blanching; tops grow rapidly and furnish suc¬ 
cession of cuttings throughout the season. 
Celery Seed (for flavoring) 
Celeriac, Large Smooth Prague 110 days 
Turnip-rooted celery. Roots 3—4 in. in diameter; globular; fairly 
smooth; stalks hollow, dark green.

rich green; finely divided and curled; pungent; aromatic; used 
for garnishing and flavoring.
