HYBRID SWEET CORN IS REALLY DIFFERENT 
Giant Pascal Celery 
Witloof Chicory 
Celery 
Celery can be grown in any soil, but is finest 
on deep, mellow bottom land. Seed for early 
crops should be sown in hotbeds about March 15; 
if sown too early, the plants are apt to run to 
seed after being transplanted. The plants may 
either be thinned to give them room to grow, 
or transplanted to another bed. For the main 
crop, seed should be sown in the open air as soon 
as the soil and air are warm enough. They 
should be covered very lightly, or merely pressed 
into the earth with a board if the soil is fine and 
mellow. The seed-bed must be kept free from 
weeds and well watered in dry weather. 
One ounce of seed will produce 8,000 plants; 
2 ounces will sow an acre

Vioz. 25 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; V 4 lb. 75 cts. 
©Boston Market. It is unequaled by any other 
sort, being solid, crisp, and of excellent 
flavor. Its compact, dwarf habit allows 
closer planting and requires less earthing up 
than taller sorts. Desirable for market but 
also good for the home-garden. 
Easy Blanching. 115 days. This will mature 
just after the Golden Self-blanching has 
been harvested. Pale green, with a slight 
yellowish tinge. The inner stalk, at a very 
early stage of growth, blanches to a rich 
golden yellow, so that the usual banking 
work is eliminated. 
©Giant Pascal—New Utah Strain. 140 days. 
The stalks are remarkably broad and thick, 
and about 2 feet high, yet blanch quickly 
with but slight banking. Their rich, nutty 
flavor is entirely free from any bitter taste, 
and they are tender, crisp, and stringless. 
©Wonderful or Golden Plume Celery. 115 
days. An early Celery of great merit. Large, 
robust stalks, easily blanched, blight-proof, 
and of that crispness and nutty flavor so 
much desired. We consider this and our 
strain of Originator’s Golden Self-blanching 
the two finest Golden Celeries in cultivation.

Large-rooted Magdeburg or Coffee. Roots

the Chicory of commerce. The leaves, when 
blanched, make an excellent salad.

Cut the leaves off 1 Y inches from neck, 
trench 1 Yz inches apart, cover with soil

layer of manure which induces new growth 
of blanched leaves folded like cos lettuce, 
which are eaten raw as salad. 
Chives 
Salad or vegetable chiefly used for its mild, 
onion-like flavor. It is a long-lived perennial 
often planted in herb gardens and sometimes

Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted 
Celery 
The seed should be sown in early spring, in 
light, rich soil; the seedlings transplanted in 
May, and watered freely in dry weather. They 
will be ready for cooking in October and may 
be preserved for use during winter in dry sand. 
Prague Giant. 120 days. The roots of this 
variety are very large and smooth, with no 
side roots, and sell better in market than those 
of almost any other sort offered. When young, 
they are quite tender and marrow-like, having 
a very fine flavor and cooking quickly. Pkt.
