Besides the preceding variety, "Henderson's White Plume, ' we beg to offer our unequaled selections of the 

 following standard sorts. For the information of patrons who may not be aware of the fact, we would state fhat 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 vigor 

 of growth, surpassing most of the large growing sorts in weight of bunch when grown under the same conditions. (See cut.) 



10 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per oz.; $1.25 per X lb-; $±-00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S GOLDEN DWARF CELERY. 



A very distinct variety, whicn originated near "ewark, 

 N. J., a few years ago, and whose great value has been 

 shown by the fact that it is largely grown around that 

 locality, for both the markets of f ewark and New York. 

 In 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 aad 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.

PERFECTION HEARTWELL 

 CELERY. 



A strong growing variety, not so suitable for market 

 purposes as the Half Dwarf or Golden Dwarf, though it 

 a swers for light or poor soils.

 $2.50 per lb. 



- LONDON RED CELERY. 



We have tried to impress upon our customers, for 

 years, the superiority of the Bed Celery over the White. 

 Not only that, as a rule, they are better flavored 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 }i lb.; 

 $3.50 per lb. 



MAJOR CLARKE'S PINK CELERY. 



Of late years we have found more of a disposition 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 white sorta. 

 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 medi- 

 um growth, of stiff, close habit, large heart, remark- 

 ably solid and crisp, and of fine walnut flavor. (See cut.) 



15 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per oz.; $1.50 per J£ lb. 



MAJOB CLARKE'S PINK CELERY. 



Last Sunday, April 27th, I visited my neighbor, Mr. John Schley, and in all my life I never saw anything that could nearly equal his 

 Cabbages. He informed me he obtained the seed from you. His Henderson's Early Summer Cabbage (seven acres) were then all head' J 

 ready for shipment to New York, and his Henderson's Selected Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage were equally good, all makin 



"leads. I am a tractor here, and my cabbage are poor. I obtained the seed from ■ 

 crop and then at mine.
