Golden Self - Blanching. This new Celery possesses the self-blanching characteristic to a remarkable degree. When blanched, its inner leaves and heart are of a beautiful golden yellow, and its outer leaves of a creamy light yellow. The foliage is of yellowish green, showing, when the plants are quite small, the distinct character of the variety. In habit it is semi - dwarf; stocks very strong and vigorous; the ribs are large, rounded and very solid; crisp, tender and of excellent flavor and equal in quality to any of the standard sorts. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; -lb., 80c; lb., Dwarf Golden Heart. More extensively grown than any other sort. The heart and inner leaves when bleached are a beautiful golden yellow, making it very attractive; it is very solid, a good keeper and of the finest quality.
