12 PETER HENDERSON & CO._VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 
CELERY. 
Besides the preceding described sort, ‘‘ Henderson's White Plume,” we beg to offer our unequaled selections of the fol- 
lowing standard sorts. For the information of patrons who may not be aware of the fact, we would state that our Celery 
seed is saved each season at our grounds in Jersey City. For full cultural instructions on this most important vegetable, 
see our new Book ‘‘Garden and Farm Topics,” offered in Introduction. 
HENDERSON’S HALF DWARF CELERY. 
Except, perhaps, the Golden Dwarf, this variety is now grown more extensively than any other by the market 
gardeners who supply the New York City markets, and is the kind now found on the tables of all first-class hotels. 
When blanched it is of a yellowish white, making it very ornamental for the table, is entirely solid, possessing a rich 
nutty flavor, while it has much yigor of growth, surpassing most of the large- “growing sorts in weight of bunch when 
grown under the same conditions. 10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per oz.; $1.00 per & lb.; $3.50 per Ib. 
WHITE WALNUT CELERY. 
One of our very best late introductions. Itis of dwarf habit, seldom attaining a height of more 
than 20 inches. It is solid and heavy, and has a peculiar, rich walnut-like flavor, A novel and valuable 
quality of this variety is its graceful and feather-like foliage, which, when blanched, makes it a most 
beautiful Celery for the table. 
10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per oz.; $1.00 per 4 lb.; $3.50 per Ib. 
GOLDEN DWARF CELERY. 
Avery distinct variety, which originated near Newark, N. J., a few years ago, and whose great 
value has been shown by the fact that itis largely grown ar ound that locality, for both the markets of 
Newark and New York. ye size and habit of growth it is much the same as the Half Dwarf and 
Dwarf White kinds, except that when blanched the heart, which is large and full, is of a waxy golden 
yellow, rendering it a most striking and showy variety for either market or private use. It is entirely 
solid and of most excellent flavor, and one of the best keepers during winter we have ever known. 
10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per oz.; $1.00 per 14 lb.; $3.50 per Ib. 
LONDON RED CELERY. 
We have tried to impress upon our customers, for years, the svneriority of the Red Celery over the 
White. Not only that, asa rule, they are better flayored and more crisp, but that they are hardier 
and keep better during winter. The variety London Red is one of the best we have ever seen, having 
every requisite good quality. 
10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per oz.; $1.00 per 14 lb.; $3.50 per Ib. 
MAJOR CLARKE’S PINK CELERY. 
Of late years we have found more of a senate to grow the pink or red varieties of Celery, 
which is as it should be, for so far as flavor goes the red and pink varieties are, as a rule, much superior 
to the whitesorts. In our trials of many varieties we have considered this, Major Clarke's Pink, to be 
a desirable acquisition to our existing list of Celeries, which, as our customers know,is a leading 
; specialty with us. This variety is of medinm growth, of stiff, close habit, large heart, remarkably 
MAJOR OLARKE’S PINK solid and crisp, and of fine walnut flavor. (See cut.) 
CELERY. 15 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per oz.; $1.50 per 14 Ib.

HICKOX IMPROVED SUGAR CORN. 
Not a novelty this year, but a variety of such excellence, that we have deemed it POLY, of a special reference. The ears 
are twelve rowed, straight and handsome; kernels of good size and very sweet. (See cut.) 
20 ets. per quart; $1.50 per peck. 
SQUANTUM SUGAR CORN. 
A variety of Sugar Corn in great favor with the well-known Squantum Club, of Silver Spring, R. I., and used almost 
exclusively by them in their famous clam bakes It is about as early as the Moore's Concord, the ears being the same size. Its 
quality is of the best. Very sweet, and wonderfully productive, producing 4 to 5 ears ona stalk. Early orders are advisable; 
last year we sold outof this by March. 30 cts. per qt.; $2.25 per peck. 
EARLY MARBLEHEAD SUGAR CORN. 
This variety is probably as early, if not a little earlier, than any of the existing sorts of Sugar Corn. {n general appear- 
ance it closely resembles the well- known Early Narragansett. The stalk is dwarf and it sets its ears very low down, which 
are of fair market size, and of very sweet, rich flavor. 25 cts. per qt.; $2.00 per peck. 
AMBER CREAM SUGAR CORN. 
A vigorous grower, stalks 7 feet in height; ears 10 to 14 inches long, with very deep kernels, rich, sugary ana tender. 
When fit for table use the ears are beautifully white, but when dry the kernels are amber colored ‘and very much shrivelled, 
It is exceedingly productive and valuable as a market variety. 
25 cts. per qt.; $1.50 per peck.
