Original Prize-Winning Golden Plume (Taller Strain) 
Each year our strain of Golden Plume wins prizes in hundreds of local, county, 
and state contests. It shows consistent highest quality year after year—you can 
absolutely depend upon it. This seed is Jersey grown, under our own supervision, 
costs more to produce, but greatly ex- F 
cels California seed. It closely resembles fz 
theold Golden Self-Blanchingmcrispness : 
and flavor, but is distinctly larger and 
ranker in growth, more plainly ribbed, 
blanches more quickly, matures one week 
earlier, and shows less tendency to blight 
or crown-rot than any other Golden Plume 
strain. It shows the large, full-plumed 
center so much desired. Our Golden 
Plume is first on the market. 
Green Celery 
California Pascal. Of Utah parentage with 
earlier, taller, vigorous growth. The 
Pascal stems, rounded, with deep chan- 
nels, are smoother and less ribbed, firm 
and crisp. This is a late green type and 
has excellent flavor and quality. 
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. 
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. 
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 (Improved Summer Pascal). Wher- 
ever green Celery is grown our new King 
Pascal will be a revelation. In height, com- 
pared with our well-known Taller Golden 
Plume, it is 4 tnches 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.

Developed by Cornell University, this yellow  self-blanching 
Celery has the desirable green Pascal features with the earliness,

inches to the joint, smooth ribbed and deeply rounded. The hearts 
are long and well developed. The flesh is thick, tender and string-

outer stalks are tender and fine. Cornell No. 19 has already been 
proven highly successful on both muck and upland soils. The vigor-

highly resistant to fusarium yellows. As it tends to produce seeders 
if planted too early, we suggest it for main crop. It blanches quickly
