both market gardeners and the home 
planters. The plants grow 20 to 22 in. 
tall.. They are remarkably solid and 
ready for the table in about 110 days. 
Though it is essentially an early va- 
riety it will store quite well until 
about Christmas or New Year’s Day. 
-The foliage of the growing plants is a 
Breenish yellow, but when blanched 
it is an appealing waxen yellow color. 
The thick. solid stalks blanch to a 
beautiful golden yellow. They are ex- 
‘tremely solid, free’ from strings, and 
have a remarkably rich nutty flavor.

Golden Plume 
325 Shumway’s Perfected Golden Plume 
or Wonderful. “The earliest of all” is 
what my customers say. A new type de- 
veloped from the famous Golden Self 
Blanching Celery. The plants are semi- 
dwarf and have thicker stalks than those 
of the original Golden Self Blanching. ° 
The’ heart is thick and full and the 
stalks are wider and thicker. When 
blanched the stalks are a beautiful light 
golden yellow which suggests their 
choice quality. The flavor is distinctly 
nutty and rich. Golden Plume or Won- 
derful has exhibited a decided resistance 
to blight and rust. This feature is bound 
to appeal to many growers who have 
been troubled with these handicaps in 
other varieties. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 60 cts.;

Easy Blanching Celery

put away green remains crisp and firm 
longer than any other sort. The heavy

est to blanch and keep better in the

attractive in appearance. Ready for the
