HOLMES’ Vegetables of Real Merit 
Holmes-Houser (Tall Strain) Celery 
After several years selection, we have produced a new tall strain of this most popular 
green Celery. In making this selection we kept in mind the size of stalk, greater number 
of stems, the fullness of heart and upright growth. Holmes'Houser (Tall Strain) is 
outstanding in this respect, is simply delicious, having rich flavor all its own. When 
blanched it becomes a beautiful creamy white, full of heart. Every stem of it is delicious 
to the outside. Holmes-Houser was developed by the late George Houser of Harrisburg, 
Penna., who was associated with the Holmes Seed Co., in whose honor it has been named. 
It is an excellent keeper for winter storage. Be sure to give this new strain a trial.

Imperial 847 Head Lettuce 
It has remarkable ability to grow and produce fine solid heads of iceberg Lettuce 
under adverse conditions. Those who grew this Lettuce this last year were very enthusi- 
astic about it. It does well in the early spring and is outstanding as a summer head 
variety and produces fine tender heads in the fall. It is one of the very few kinds which 
will produce firm solid heads on muck as well as upland soils. Heads are good size, very 
solid, rich, creamy yellow inside. During the hot weather practically every plant produces 
a solid head. Imperial 847 needs plenty of room to grow for finest heads. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 25c; M lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.
