SEED GROWERS 
CELERY (Cont,} 
TALL GOLDEN YELLOW SELF BLANCHING 
Our selection from the original, true French strain. Very early. Desirable 
for shipping under special conditions through 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. 
TALL NON-BOLTING GOLDEN PLUME 
This strain grows taller and faster than the original type introduced by us 
some years ago. Its ability to withstand low temperatures without bolting 
make it the most satisfactory of the Golden Plume strains for growing under 
certain unfavorable conditions. 814 to 9 inches to joint; 26 to 27 inches overall 
height. 
UTAH 
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. 
UTAH NO. 99 
Green midseason celery. Easier to blanch than Utah or Emperor. Height 26 
to 28 inches, stems 9 to 10 inches long; very heavy, rounded with narrow chan- 
nel, slightly tapered from base to first joint. Stems numerous, forming com- 
pact head and hastening blanching of inner stems and hearts. Crystal smooth- 
ness and appearance when thoroughly blanched. 
WHITE PLUME 
Valuable for early market. Foliage green tinted white; stalks and foliage 
blanch very readily to snowy-white. 
WINTER QUEEN 
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 succession of cut- 
tings throughout the season. 
CELERIAC, LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE 
Turnip-rooted celery. Roots 3—4 in. in diameter; globular; fairly smooth; 
stalks hollow, dark green. 
CHERVIL 
CURLED 
Similar to parsley, but of more delicate texture. Leaves bright rich green; 
finely divided and curled; pungent; aromatic; used for garnishing and flavoring. 
CHICORY 
LARGE ROOTED OR COFFEE 
Roots mature in 4—5 months. Dried roots used as a substitute and adulterant 
of coffee. Roots 12—14 inches long, 2%4 inches thick at top, tapered. The 
young tender leaves are used for greens and also feed to poultry as a tonic. 
Leaves entire. 
ASPARAGUS OR RADICHETTA (Catalogna) 
A rapid growing annual producing Dandelion-like leaves which are very 
popular for early greens. Leaves and flower shoots tender and with faint 
asparagus flavor. Our stock is the true cut leaved, fibrous rooted type. 
WITLOOF OR FRENCH ENDIVE 
One of the most attractive of salad vegetables; grown largely by market 
gardeners and shippers. Each carefully trimmed root when buried upright in 
damp sand and given the proper conditions produces a handsome compact 
cluster 4—5 in. long of blanched leaves which are tender and have a rich, mildly 
acrid flavor.
