Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 January 1890 — A New Variety of celery. [ARTICLE]

A New Variety of celery.

A new candidate for the market gnrdener this winter is the new Giant Pascal Celery, an illustration of which we present herewith, it is an entirely new variety, beingoffered for the first tiihe this winter by the leading seedsmen of the country through their respective catalogues. The originator says of it that it is a wonderful keeper, being especially desirable- or .shipping during January and February, seeping crisp under shipment for a long time. The height is about two feet, the stalks very large, thick, solid and not stringy. The heart is of a rich, golden yellow color. nd the plant blanches very easily, in five or six days after earthing up. It has a fine, nutty flavor, entirely free from uny taste of bitterness. These are most desir. ble qualites, and should make this new addition to our list of veget; bles popular with both market and home gttrdners.
