Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties 
Two New Yellow Kinds 
These two new kinds have shown great promise. Plant your favorite 
kind for the bulk of your crop, but be sure to have at least a few rows 
of these new varieties. 
Super Plume 
This new kind is very similar in appearance and height to our original 
strain of Golden Plume, but the edible part of the stems is thicker and 
longer; usually 7 to 9 inches. They are firm, crisp and of excellent quality. 
It is earlier than our regular Golden Plume, and seems to stand a long 
time without becoming pithy. Should make an excellent kind for storage.

Good celery is not difficult to raise. The trouble most unskilled gar¬ 
deners experience is in raising the plants. For very early planting the seed 
should be sown in the greenhouse or hot bed in February or first of March. 
For late crop the seed is sown in the open ground as early as possible. 
Great care must be taken not to cover the seed too deep. Most failures to 
get the seed to germinate are due to this cause. 
We give full directions for culture with every order for seed if requested. 
For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy the plants. 
See page 82 for Harris’ celery plants. 
Masterpiece—For Early Crop 
This is a new early yellow celery, with the fine quality and flavor of 
the late or green kinds. It is a tall variety. The stems are very thick, 
broad with rounded edges, and long, often 8 to 9 inches. They are crisp 
and have a fine nutty flavor. See photo to the left.

Masterpiece Celery 
GOLDEN PLUME or WONDERFUL. This is the original 
-——— strain which has 
proved so popular with our customers and is without doubt the best of the 
Yellow or Self-Blanching types. It has grown steadily in popularity since 
its introduction some years ago. It is early and of a vigorous sturdy 
growth. The plants have good stalks and fine full hearts. Our strain has 
proved to be of a very even golden color, strong and healthy of growth 
and with no soft stalks. No better strain can be obtained, even at much 
higher prices. 
Pkt. 10c; M Oz. 25c; Oz. 80c; M Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
Super Plume Celery 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—Old Strain. One of the best varieties 
for fall and early winter use and storage. It blanches creamy white and 
the stalks are quite thick, solid and crisp. Matures a week to ten days 
later than Golden Plume. 
The plants are a little shorter than Golden Plume, of stocky growth, 
heavy, thick and with large, well developed hearts. This strain is very 
uniform in color and type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 80c; Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GOLDEN PASCAL. Grow for High Quality. The stalks are thick and 
rounded, of good length, and blanch to a clear creamy yellow. This celery 
is very brittle and tender and has a pleasing nut-like flavor. When left to 
grow to maturity this celery develops a very good heart. 
It is taller than Golden Plume, and in season the same as Old Strain 
Golden Self-Blanching. Home gardeners who want the finest quality and 
market growers with a particular trade will like this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; M Oz. 35c; Oz. 90c; M Lb. $3.10; Lb. $10.75. 
Green Varieties 
SALT LAKE also called UTAH. The Best Green Celery. Green 
- celery is superior to yellow both in quality and flavor. 
Salt Lake is outstanding in this respect. 
The stalks are large yet tender and with very little fiber and with a 
thick well developed heart. There are practically no soft stalks, which is 
unusual with green celery. This celery blanches quicker than many green 
varieties and when blanched is pure white, very crisp, brittle and alto¬ 
gether of the finest flavor. 
The firm hard stalks keep well and we highly recommend this new 
celery for winter storage. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Oz. 80c; M Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75. 
GIANT PASCAL—Special Strain. An exceptionally fine stock much 
superior to the ordinary Giant Pascal and fully equal to any sold. Is used 
largely in New England where it is considered one of the very best for 
late winter market. The stalks are very large, solid and blanch to a pure 
white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
EASY BLANCHING, or Newark Market. An excellent kind for late fall 
or early winter use. Besembles Golden Self-Blanching in shape and size, 
but blanches pure white instead of light yellow. The quality is even better 
than that variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 65c; Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.50. 
SUPREME GOLDEN. (New.) Improved Golden Self-Blanching. 
This new strain matures a few days earlier than the old strain of Golden 
Self-Blanching and a little later than Golden Plume. The long inside 
stems give it a thick full heart, and almost cylindrical shape, making the 
whole plant very solid and compact. It is taller growing than the Golden 
Self-Blanching; the stems being long, rather thick, of excellent quality 
and blanch to a rich creamy white. The tops are very compact. 
Pkt. 10c; J4 Oz. 40c; Oz. $1.30; % Lb. $4.20; Lb. $14.75. 
GOLDEN PLUME, New Tall Strain. This new strain of Golden Plume 
is taller than the above and has stems which are longer in the first joint. 
It has proved satisfactory in many sections, especially when grown on 
upland. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 
Oz. 80c; % Lb. $2.55; 
Lb. $8.75. 
Golden Self-Blanch¬ 
ing—New Strain. We 
have discontinued this 
variety. Supreme Golden, 
described above is a much 
superior kind. 
“Will drop you a few 
lines to let you know that I 
was very much pleased with 
the small order of plants I 
gave you this spring—25 
Golden Acre cabbage and 
100 Golden Plume celery. 
Everyone is heading and 
celery will be A No. 1 very 
soon now, much belter plants 
than I could buy nearer 
home.”
