Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. 44 W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., PHILADELPHIA. CELERY,—Self=Blanching Early Varieties. The following varieties grow very quickly and blanch early when earthed up or shielded from the light by boards. These are the varieties which are blanched by close plantiug under the new system of close planting on heavily manured and irrigated land. The White Plume is the earliest variety, and late in the fall the inner portions will show beautifully white, even without earthing up. The stalks are crisp, tender, and have a fine, nutty flavor. The Pink Plume is identical with the White, excepting that the stalks are heavily tinged with red, which in blanching becomes a soft pink, very attractive when served on the table. The Uoldex Self-Blaxching is rather more dwarf than the Tf7ute Plume, but has much thicker leaf-stalks and makes a larger bunch or plant ; the stalks blanch very readily to a clear waxen yellow, and are crisp, solid, and of mild, sweet flavor ; greatly superior to the flavor of the Plume varieties. The Rose-Ribbed Paris, or Golde>" Rose, is the red or pink form of the Golden Self-Blanching, and is of equally line quality, and strong, stocky growth. These early and easily blanched varieties do not keep well, and should be marketed from the open ground before severe winter sets in. Thinly sown iu a good seed-bed, one ounce of seed will plant 300 feet of drill, and should furnish 5000 plants ; one-quarter pound of seed should be ample to furnish plants for an acre of land. Per oz. 2 ozs. % B>. Per ft. Golden Self=Blanching. Most popular of all. {See page 43), . $0 30 $0 50 §0 85 §3 00 Rose=Ribbed SeIf=Blanching, or " Golden Rose," 30 50 85 3 00 White Plume.
