One of our fields of Early Fortune, showing just how Celery seed is produced. You will note that a stake is 
driven alongside each plant; as the plant develops to its full height, it is tied to the stake to prevent whipping or 
thrashing by high winds after the seed is mature. This is quite an expensive operation but we use great care in. 
piecw ne these special strains of Celery that we offer. The fields are dusted regularly every ten days to prevent 
ight. 
Celery 
WINTER KING 
The best winter variety to store m trenches, and should be ready to market just after Christmas. Produces 
exceedingly full-hearted, very green, stout stalks of unusually good keeping qualities. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 14lb. $1.75; lb. $6 
Green Cross 
An entirely new strain of the long-keeping green variety. It has about the same style 
stalks as our Full-Heart Easy-Blanching but is much harder to blanch. It is full-hearted, 
similar to the Full-Heart listed herein. Height about 16 inches. Very stout stalks. An extra 
long-keeping variety. We recommend this to those wishing to trench Celery for very late 
blanching. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; W4lb. $4.25; lb. $15. 
COLUMBIA 
Finest eating Celery to be had. The ribs are round, very solid, and it grows a very stout, light green stalk, 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 14lb. $1.75; lb. $6 
Golden Self-Blanching (Special) 
In this we are offering a well-selected and true type. The ribs are more or less round, to 
safeguard against softness for storage purposes. It is a trifle more green than the Golden 
No. 14, and has given the best satisfaction. } 
Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1; 14lb. $3.50; lb. $12; 10 Ibs. $110
