HENDERSONS GOLDEN ROSE. Golden Eose 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 objec- 

 tionable ridges which generally accompany stringiness ; 

 indeed, there is so little string that the stalks are posi- 

 tively 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 gradually 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, and its self-blanching habit assures its earliness, while 

 its hardiness and solidity bespeak its ability to keep for a consider- 

 able time. Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., SI. 50 % lb. 



" I raised quite a little of vour Golden Rose Celery this year and must say that 

 It is everything yon claim."— GEORGE BRADFORD, Kalamazoo, Mich. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. A most valuable variety, partak- 

 ing 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. oz., $1.25 y A lb., $4.00 lb. 



" The seed that I received from you this spring was very satisfactory ; and I was 

 very much pleased with the Golden Self-blanching Celery. It grew the largest and 

 handsomest Celery I ever saw, and I would like some more of the same seed." 



THOMAS WOOD, Swansea, Mass. 

 " I hope the Golden Self-blanching Celery will be as good astheVilb. bought from 

 you last spring. Iset 7,200plants and each made a head and each was self-blanching. 

 You never saw a prettier picture. 7,200 Golden Self-blanching on a plot 82 by 38 feet ." 

 March 20, 1899. G. L. JOHXSOX, 128 IF. Oneida St., Oswego, X. Y. 



CIANT PASCAL CELERY 



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. 

 (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 75c. J^ lb., $2.50 lb. 



" Your Giant Pascal Celery took the town — or rather, the town took the Celery. It 

 was considered the best in our market ; large, solid, white and crisp." 



CALYIX SMITH, Market Gardener, Xorwalk, Ct. 



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 pro- 

 duced in all sections of the United States. In the great Celery-growing 

 districts of Kalamazoo, Mich., this variety is planted almost to the ex- 

 clusion 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, page 40.) 5c. 

 pkt., 30c. oz., 80c. % lb., $2.75 lb. 



" I have the finest bed of Celery plants from your seed this spring that I ever had. 

 Formerly I purchased seed from a Philadelphia house but vourseed proves about 50% 

 better."— ARTHUR CRAIG, Tennent, X. J. 



" I had Celery ready for market August 24th, last fall, from your seeds. Everyone 

 who saw it said it was the finest they ever saw." — MYRA I>. SCALES, Temple, Me.
