NEW inPROVED WHITE PLUnE CELERY. Our slock of this Celery seed was grown for us this year from extra select Celery, selected from the best stock of Improved White Plume Celery, grown in one of the leading Celery districts of the North. Therefore, we claim oyr stock to be genuine. Improved White Plume Celeiy is very distinct and handsome, of a beau- tiful cream white color throughout, attains a very large size, of quick growth, stiff and close habit, remarkably solid and fine flivored. Ribs are very broad, thickly and closely set, while by reason of its neat growth and showy appearance it is a specially valuable variety for market. It is also a first-class keeper, remaining fit for use as long as the Golden Dwarf and other good keeping sorts. For the use of hotels, resrtaurants and other large establishments, it is superior to most other kinds, there scarcely being any waste in dressing it for the table. It has a distinctive appearance in growth; long rows of it being as level and even as though each plant had been shaped in the same mould. It has already taken the lead as a keeping Celery for Winter use. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., 80c; lb., 13.00. OUR PRICES GIVEN INCLUDE POSTAGE. DICKMANN'S ST. LOUIS MARKET LETTUCE. D i c k m a n n's St. Louis Market Lettuce is one of the best for all purposes. It cannot be recommended too highly. Good for forcing and out-of-doors. A solid head- ing sort. Will not grow into seed as quick as other Lettuce. Will stand the heat better through the hot Summer months. There is a good deal of St. Louis Market Lettuce sold by other Seedmen, but not this uriginal STRAIN. No gardener can afford to be without this—the best of all let- tuces not only sold under that name but the genuine stock. A small trial will convince you. Oz , 25c; ^4 lb., 90c; lb.,$H.OO. Here is an Unsolicited Letter from one of onr Leading K'ardeners. " St. Louis, Mo., May 31, 1895. Mr. Jos. F. nickmann, City: Dear Sir—I have sold the first St. Louis Market Lettuce raised from the seed I bought of you. It turned out fine. -I am satisfied that none can be bought in St. Louis or anywhere else that would surpass it in quality. I therefore recommend it to all gardeners as the genuine St. Louis Market Lettuce. Most respectfully, John R. Wuebbold.
