THE GOLDEN bELF-BLANCH- ING, first introduced into America by us in 1884, has been thoroughly tested, and has fulfilled all that we claimed for it. it is certainly a most important acquisition^;^^ can- not be too highly recommended. The beauti- ful appearance of the plant, with its close habit, compact growth, and straight, vigorous -stalks is faithfully shown in the illustration The ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle, and of dehcious flavor, surpassed by no other variety, while it has the decided merit of being self-blanching to a very remarkable degree. Without banking up or any covermg whatever, even the outer ribs become of a handsome, fresh, yellowish-white color. The heart is large, sohd, and of a beautiful, rich golden- yellow color. The leaves also are of a beautiful golden yellow after the plant has been bleached, which adds greatly to its handsome appear- ance when prepared for the table. No variety can surpass, if, indeed, equal, the Golden belf- ^ Blanching WL striking appearance and delicious g flavor. It is an excellent keeper, and keeps r well throughout the winter. 5 Per pkt. 10 cts.; >^ oz. 25 cts.; per oz 40cts.; X ft ^i-25-; perIb| Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original W.
