STOKES CROWINC SINCE 1473 SEEDS SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS Strong, Full-Hearted Celery Three ounces will plant an acre Golden Plume Days to maturity, 115. This celebrated variety is now well entrenched in the opinions of the large Celery-growers of this country. It has completely captured the Early Golden market because of its fine full-hearted appearance and the ease with which it is blanched. Golden Plume has taken the cream of the early Celery money for at least the past two years. It is available for the market a week ahead of Golden Self-blanching and is also distinctly more resistant to disease than that variety. In other characteristics it is similar, including color and flavor. Golden Plume is not a long-keeping Celery and should be handled promptly when ready for market. Gur strain can be looked upon as one of the few leaders. Infinite care is taken in the production of our seed which is saved only from plants showing the true full-hearted type. The most critical growers can place full reliance on the stock which we offer. We would point out that Golden Plume is now sold under about ten different titles. The most common synonym is Wonder- ful. Price, delivered: Pkt. 50 cts.; oz. $2.50; %lb. $8; lb. $30; 5 lbs. or more, $28 per lb. Golden Self- Blanching ORIGINAL TYPE Days to maturity, 120. After thirty years, Golden Self-blanching still maintains a very important place among the commercial Celery-grow- ers of this country. It has been the parent stock from which a number of new strains have been developed, including Golden Plume, Easy-blanch- ing, and others. Of late there has been developed a much taller stock of Golden Self- blanching. We have not felt justified in offering that type, however. The stock offered herewith is the original dwarf, early-maturing type. Our strain has been grown with great care. It is proven a year in advance of sale to our customers who may purchase it with full confidence that the type is true and up to our usual superstandard require- ments. Golden Self-blanching will prove to be a much better keeping Celery than Golden Plume. It can be stored until the holiday season without difficulty. Price, delivered: Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1; V4lb. $3.50; lb. $12; 5 lbs. or more, $11 per lb.
