the old Golden Self-Blanching in crispness 
and flavor, but is distinctly larger and

blanches more quickly, matures one week

from two to three weeks’ time, and blanch- 
ing may be hastened by partial earthing up 
before boarding. Newark Market develops 
very rapidly and it produces large, thick, 
fleshy stalks of great solidity, very brittle, 
crisp and of unusually fine flavor. 
Epicure. One of the earliest green varieties with 
compact cylindrical stalks and broad, thick 
stems, 8 to 10 inches to the first jomt. Firm, 
crisp and stringless with full long deep cream 
hearts. 
. Full Heart. The 20-inch stalks, well rounded 
and with full hearts, are easily blanched to 
light golden. The rounded stalk eliminates the 
softness sometimes found in Easy-Blanching. 
Good for cold storage or trenching. 
Golden Plume (Shorter Strain) 
For those markets which prefer a 
shorter-stalked Golden Plume. This is 
Jersey-grown, costs more to produce, 
but greatly excels California seed. It is 
just as full-hearted as the taller type, 
grows very rapidly, and matures one 
week earlier than any other Golden Plume. 
Tall Golden Self-Blanching 
Develops very rapidly and blanches 
up very quickly, but the heart, while 
ong, is not so heavy as in Golden 
Plume. It matures early and ships well. 
Jersey Green. A splendid easy-blanching green 
strain perhaps best described as a slightly 
dwarfer Newark Market. It has just as heavy 
stalks and heart, blanches a trifle sooner with 
very full hearts and is a good keeper. 
Late Green Celery 
California Pascal. Of Utah parentage with earlier, 
taller, vigorous growth. The Pascal stems, rounded, 
with deep channels, are smoother and less ribbed, 
firm and crisp. 
Emperor Special. Compact, 114 feet high, with dark 
green foliage, and it resists disease. The stalks are 
very thick, smooth, stringless, crisp, and blanch 
white. Stores very well and has a fine nutty flavor. 
Giant Pascal. A very desirable long-keeping green 
winter variety, growing about 2 feet high, making 
broad, thick, stringless stalks and large hearts. The
