Tall Golden Self Blanching 
329 Celery, Superior Golden Self 
Blanching Tall. The best tall growing 
variety in our trials. The distinctive 
feature of this wonderful variety is 
that it is literally self blanching. It is 
a favorite with both market gardeners 
and the home planters. The plants 
grow: 20 to 22 in. tall. They are re- 
markably solid and ready for the table 
in about 110 days. Though it is essen- 
tially an early variety it will store 
quite well until about_Christmas or 
New Year’s Day. The foliage of the 
growing plants is a greenish yellow, 
but when blanched it is an appealing 
waxen yellow color. The thick solid 
stalks blanch to a beautiful golden 
yellow. They are extremely solid, free 
from strings, and have a remarkably 
rich nutty flavor. Pkt. 20 cts.; 0z., 85 
cts.; 14 lb., $2.50, postpaid.

Golden Plume 
325 Perfected Golden Plume or Wonderful. 
“The earliest of all” is what my custom- 
ers say. A new type developed 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 
ehoice quality. The flavor is distinctly 
hutty 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., 20 cts.; 0z., 85 cts.

eream-color of exceptionally fine quality. 
The stems are brittle, crisp and free of 
strings. Carefully bred for high quality 
and shows less tendency to produce pre- 
mature seed-stalks than other strains. Be 
sure to try this grand variety this year.
