GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 



Henderson's Pink Plume— Is a self-blanching variety, after the style of 

 White Plume, requiring very little earthing or banking up, We consider 

 this variety to be of exceptional merit, combining, as it does, all the good 

 qualities of the famous White Plume, coupled with the rich nutty flavor and 

 good keeping qualities of the Red Celeries. The stems are of handsome ap- 

 pearance, of a beautiful delicate pink never before met with in any variety 

 of Celery. In appearance they are vastly superior to any of the sorts at 

 present in cultivation. For table decoration we would specially recommend 

 you to grow this variety, as nothing can be more attractive for the table 

 than a few stems of this mixed in with White Plume or Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing. Its keeping qualities are also remarkable, remaining fit for use when 

 most of the earlier Celeries are long past using. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; }4

German, SiioH-Setevie. French, Celeriac-Rave.

Although a few gardeners continue to cultivate this vegetable on the old plan, the only one- 

 practiced years ago, its cultivation has undergone a great reformation of late years. "Very little of 

 the seed is now sown in hot-beds, but instead is sown in a cold frame, or even out in the open air, 

 early in April, and in June and July is transplanted where it is intended to mature. The young 

 plants, before transplanting, should be clipped down partially two or three times to promote a 

 stubby growth. On the ground, previously thoroughly enriched and cultivated, lay out lines S feet 

 apart on the surface, not in trenches, as used to be planted. Set the plants in these rows, about & 

 inches apart. Until about the middle, of August the only work to be done is frequent cultivation 

 and watering in dry weather. Earthing up may then begin, and continue as long as the plants 

 grow, to bleach the stems and render them crisp. 

 Golden Self-Blanching — Like the White Plume, 

 this Celery requires very little earthing up, and 

 in many other respects it is similar to that favor- 

 ite sort, differing, however in color, which is 

 yellowish, the heart being large and solid and of 

 a beautiful golden hue. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 



y A lb., 75 cts.; lib $2.50 



White Plume— Unlike most varieties, this one 

 does not require to be earthed up, but if only 

 loosely tied, a few handfuls of earth brought 

 close around the base of the leaves to keep them 

 close together, all the inner leaves or thin stalks 

 will turn white and crisp. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.;
