WE DRAW SPECIAL ATTENTION TO 

 OUR TRANSPLANTED CELERY PLANTS 



The result of transplanting is seen in the dense mass of 

 fibrous roots that these plants possess, and on this account, 

 with ordinary care, they are much easier to transplant, 

 and are more certain to do well.

Celery Plants. Early Self=Blanching Varieties . 



The peculiarity of the self blanching celeries is that they will blanch naturally without the laborious banking up 

 which is essential to ordinary sorts. They are as easy to grow as any other vegetable. If the stalks are drawn to- 

 gether when the plant is three fourths grown and the soil drawn to or pressed around the plant it will soon be fit for 

 use. Boards are sometimes placed close up to the plants, but the result is not so satisfactory as by contact with the earth. 



Hendersons Silver Self=Blanching. 



This grand Celery is easily described to Celery experts 

 when we say that it is a Golden Salf-Blanc'.iing plant with 

 White Plume coloring; it possesses the robust, sturdy, com- 

 pact habit of Golden Self-Blanching, the stalks being even 

 thicker, more solid and heavy, with immense solid hearts 

 and all brittle, crisp and tender, free from string or pithiness, 

 and of delightfully rich flavor. 



To these ideal qualities are added the beautiful silvery- 

 white coloring and self-blanching characteristics of White 

 Plume, that is, the foliage is tipped and variegated with 

 white, while the heart, inner stalks and leaves are naturally 

 white, and the plants may be easily and quickly blanched 

 by leaning boards on either side of the row, without the 

 necessity of banking up. This, combined with its extreme 

 earliness, render Henderson's Silver Self-Blanching perhaps 

 the most valuable Celery ever introduced.
