Text Appearing After Image:
Improved Golden Self-Blanehing Celery Perle Le Grand Celery VALUABLE FOR EARLY AND LATE USE The Perle Le Grand Celery has a beautiful, full golden heart and rich nutty flavor, and is unap- proached by any of the older sorts. On the market stall it is extremely showy and salable, a single plant making a good-sized bunch and surpassing nearly all others in weight. It is not only a good early Celery, being among the first fit to use, but also most valu- able as a winter keeper, remaining, when properly trenched, in perfect condition away into the spring. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., Klb. 70 cts., lb. $2.25. Holmes' Ideal Parsley (new) THE BEST STRAIN FOR MARKET-GARDENERS In shape of leaf, color and taste this new variety is the ideal of perfection among all Parsley varieties. The leaves are ornamentally crimped; the growth is compressed, spreading and thick, so that th^ plant forms almost a half-globe. The plant is of very robust growth, and greatly improved by severe cut- ting. It stands heat, drought and cold better and will yield much better than any other of the numer- ous varieties of Parsley we have ever tried. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., Mlb. 50 cts , lb. $1.75, by mail, post- paid. Improved Golden Self - Blanching Celery eaIly E BEST CELERY Critical Market-Gardeners say ours is the finest strain they ever had For some time past wc have been carefully selecting the stock of this well-known variety from the original strain. We believe now we have so far perfected it that when once grown you will have no other. The stalks are much broader than the White Plume and greatly superior in quality, and it is ready for market almost as soon; producing dwarfer and much larger bunches of fine heavy stalks, which are crisp, tender, and of nut-like flavor. We can recommend this particu- lar strain to our customers. Per pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., )ilh. $1.75, lb. $5.50. Note.—For the ordinaiT Self-Blanching Celery as generally sold, which is not French grown, see general list. ELvans* Triumph Celery A NEW LATE CELERY This splendid new variety originated in Canada, and grows a very strong and vigorous plant with large, very white, crisp, brittle, tender, short, broad stalks. Jt is very late, requiring the whole season to develop, but will keep splendidly all winter. After a thorough trial we recommend it as worthy of being classed as one ot the best late Celeries. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., 341b. 70 cts., lb. $2.25. The Giant Pascal Celery I got from yon was the best we ever had. It was solid, crisp and tender.—Ellen Shissler, Lan- caster Co., Pa, New Perlo La Grand Celery
