GIANT PASCAL. A selection from the Golden Self-blanching 
Celery, partaking of the best qualities of that variety, but is much 
larger and a better keeper. It is of a fine, nutty flavor, being entirely 
free from any bitter taste. It grows two feet high; stalks broad, 
thick, crisp and stringless; the width and thickness of the stalks are 
distinctive features of this variety. It bleaches with but slight 
“earthing up,” and very quickly. A valuable variety for both second 
early and midwinter use. (Seecut.) 10c. pkt., 30c. 0z., 75c. 14 Ib., $2.50 1b. 
HENDERSON'S GOLDEN DWARF. This, like many other standard 
varieties of vegetables, was first introduced by ourselves. The 
Golden Dwarf now constitutes the great bulk of main crop Celery 
that is produced in all sections of the United States. In the great 
Celery-growing districts of Kalamazoo, Mich., this variety is planted 
almost to the exclusion of all others, except the White Plume, which 
they use for the early crop. Golden Dwarf, when blanched, is of a 
waxy golden-yellow color; the stalks are cylindrical in shape and 
most solid and crisp in quality, and one of the best keeping of 
Celeries. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 14 lb., $2.75 Ib. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. A most valuable variety, partaking 
of the character of the celebrated White Plume, inasmuch as it 
simply needs a slight earthing up or ‘“‘handling.’’ It is of a beautiful 
waxy golden color, very solid, and of a rich nutty flavor. 10c. pkt., 
40c. 0z., $1.25 14 Ib., $4.00 lb.

S\N '\ : more of the same seed.”’ THOMAS WOOD, Swansea, Mass. 
HENDERSON’S DWARF WHITE. This variety is perfectly solid, 
the stalks half-round. When . }

HENDERSON'S HALF DWARF. Entirely solid, possessing a rich nutty flavor, 
while it has much vigor of growth, surpassing most of the large-growing sorts in 
weight of bunch. 5ce. pkt., 25¢. oz., 75c. 14 Ib., $2.50 lb. 
BOSTON MARKET. Similar to the Dwarf White, but rather more robust. The 
leaves are a darker green, the stalks when blanched being nearly white. It is an 
excellent variety, solid, crisp and tender. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. 14 1b., $2.50 1b. 
GIANT WHITE SOLID. A large-growing sort, attaining a height, under good 
cultivation, of 3 feet. This variety is most suitable for southern sections of the 
country, as it grows freely in hot or dry atmosphere. 5c. pkt., 20c. 0z., 60c. ¥4 lb.,) 
$2.00 Ib. 
HENDERSON'S GOLDEN, ROSE... Golden Rose is a development of the 
favorite Golden Self-blanching, and shows its parentage in its strong habit 
of growth, while its self-blanching character is strongly fixed. The plant is 
dwarf and heavy, the stalks are very broad and solid, and are also entirely 
free from those objectionable ridges which generally accompany 
stringiness; indeed, there is so little string that the stalks are 
positively brittle. The general color is about identical with 
Golden Self-blanching, except that the naturally golden-colored 
stalks are suffused with a warm, rosy hue, which grad- 
ually fades towards the top of the stalks, where it 
assumes a bright golden color when properly blanched 
and fit for the table. The unique combination of color _ 
makes it exquisitely beautiful in appearance, LE 
and its self-blanching habit as- A 
sures its earliness, while its 
hardiness and solidity bespeak 
its ability to keep for a consider- 
able time. Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. 
0z., $1.75 Y% Ib.

“T have the finest bed of Celery 
plants from your seed this spring 
that I ever had. Formerly I pur- 
chased seed from a Philadelphia 
house but your seed proves about 
50% better.” 
ARTHUR CRAIG, 
Tennent, N. J. 
“JT had Celery ready for market 
August 4th, last fall, from your 
seeds. Every one who saw it said it 
was the finest they ever saw.’
