earlier, and shows less tendency to blight

Plume is first on the market. 
light golden. The rounded stalk eliminates the 
softness sometimes found in Easy-Blanching. 
Good for cold storage or trenching. 
Giant Pascal. A very desirable long-keeping 
green winter variety, growing about 2 feet 
high, making broad, thick, stringless stalks 
and large hearts. The hearts blanch to golden 
yellow and the crisp, solid stalks to a pearly 
white. Giant Pascal is the finest-flavored 
Celery, exceeding all others in its rich nutty 
flavor. Specially fme for midwinter use as the 
stalks remain solid and brittle. 
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. 
King Pascal. Wherever Summer Pascal green 
Celery is grown our new King Pascal will be a 
revelation and grow just about as tall. Com- 
pared with our well-known Taller Golden 
Plume, it is 4 inches shorter. The stems, 6 
inches or more to the first joint, are very smooth and 
glossy. They are deeply rounded, almost closing on 
the inside with very narrow deep grooves. The heart 
is much larger than Summer Pascal and the stalks 
blanch better as they are lighter in color. King Pascal 
matures just after Newark Market and keeps well. 
It is the crispest, best eating Celery of all. King Pas- 
cal has found a very large use for summer and fall 
crop. It can also be sown with early-crop Celery as it 
shows a strong tendency not to go to seed. There is 
very little loss in trimming for market. 
Newark Market (Jersey Grown). Its great distinctions 
are its ability to blanch quickly, great vigor, and com- 
plete resistance to Celery ‘‘sickness,”’ heart rot, or 
blight. Plant is somewhat taller than Dwarf Golden 
Self-blanching, foliage is broader, and the stalks are 
higher jointed, heavier, and more plainly ribbed. The 
stalks are easily blanched, by boarding, in from two 
to three weeks’ time, and blanching 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. 







Other Yellow Varieties 
Golden Plume (Shorter Strain). For those 
markets which prefer a_ shorter-stalked 
Golden Plume. It Is just as full-hearted as 
the taller type, and grows very rapidly. 
Ivory Pascal. This is a golden version of King 
Pascal. It follows Golden Plume by two 
weeks, blanches easily to ivory-white 
color and has excellent flavor and quality. 
Ivory Pascal matures at the same time 
as King Pascal, is 1 to 2 inches taller, has 
more but slightly smaller stalks per plant 
and a fuller heart, is not so brittle and so 
handles better. The stalk is deeply round- 
ed, with deep narrow grooves almost 
closing on the Inside, and a smooth glossy 
outside. If marketed from the field it 
requires only short time blanching and if 
stored in the cooler, Ivory Pascal needs no 
field blanching before storing. 
Superplume. An early Golden Plume with 
heavy, 8 to 9-inch, firm crisp stems which 
blanch well. Fine for storage. 
Tall Golden Self-Blanching. Develops very 
rapidly and blanches up very quickly, but 
the heart, while long, is not so heavy as in es “ 
Golden Plume. Matures early; ships well. Golden Plume Celery

Cornell No. 19—Eor main crop; yellows-resistant 
Developed by Cornell University, this yellow self-blanching 
Celery has the desirable green Pascal features with the earliness, 
easy-blanching and color of the golden strains. The stalks are 11 
inches to the joint, smooth ribbed and deeply rounded. The hearts 
are long and well developed. The flesh is thick, tender and string-

less. Not only the heart has super quality and flavor but even the 
outer stalks are tender and fine. Cornell No. 19 has already been 
proven highly successful on both muck and upland soils. The vigor- 
ous, healthy, high-yielding plants averaging 24 inches in height, are 
highly resistant to fusarium yellows. As it tends to produce seeders 
if planted too early, we suggest it for main crop. It blanches quickly 
and stores well.
