Holmes’ Emperor 
Celery 
Still a Greater Favorite 
This marvelous Celery was named and intro¬ 
duced by H. L. Holmes in 1912. It has taken 
the lead among the late Celeries and has a 
world-wide reputation. It is distinct and ex¬ 
cels all others, being the most solid and finest 
crisp, nut-flavored and best keeping sort of 
outstanding merit. Holmes’ Emperor is supe¬ 
rior in that it is free from the stringiness 
common to other sorts. The plants are dwarf 
and therefore much easier to blanch than the 
taller growing varieties. The tops are dark 
green while the outer stalks are smooth, al¬ 
most perfectly round, exceptionally thick, 
very brittle, and blanch a beautiful white with 
rich yellow heart. You cannot afford to be 
without Holmes’ Emperor. It is simply deli¬ 
cious. Pkt., 15c; oz., 40c; oz., 75c; X A lb., 
$2.75; lb., $10.00. 
Holmes' Emperor Celery 
Evergreen Parsley 
All-America Winner 
Has a large, dense, dark green foliage. The leaves are rather coarsely 
cut, but closely curled. EVERGREEN is very uniform, grows fast, 
and is more resistant to frost than some other varieties. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; M lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 
Comet has the same qualities as Scarlet Globe, round in shape. Grows to 
fair size with a short top. The Comet has wonderful, long-standing qualities 
before getting pithy. In keeping and eating qualities it ranks as a leader and 
it will remain crisp and white when all 
other early Radishes get pithy. Color 
is bright scarlet, and tap-roots are thin. 
We recommend every Radish grower 
to try Comet. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
M lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

shorter core than the original Danish 
Ballhead, the stem is short, heads large, 
firm and heavy, in shape more broad

is much higher than other sorts. Its 
keeping qualities are unequalled.
