GOLDEN PLUME—-NON BOLTING . . . ....__..._ 120 days 
Belongs to the group of DWARF GOLDEN strains. However, the tops are 
darker green and the leaves are smaller, and though the plants aren’t quite 
as tall, the edible stalk is longer. It is recommended for early planting 
where bolting is likely to occur, because it will never bolt under any con- 
dition. Very stiff plant 18-20” tall, 6” to joint; short heavy hearted strain.

creamy yellow stalks and golden yellow foliage; stalks broad, semi-round, 
medium length, crisp and good flavor. On East Coast the margin of leaf 
becomes chlorotic as plant becomes overmature.

An annual used for garnishing and seasoning; seed germinates very slowly; 
leaves are brilliant green, finely cut and curled, giving appearance similar 
to parsley; aromatic and pungent. Must be seeded as spring or fall crop, 
over wintering when protected, because plant does not thrive under hot 
weather conditions. 
PLAIN OR COMMON

attractive.
