WINTER 

 QUEEN 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER USE. 



PROPERLY STORED, THIS MOST DELICIOUS OF ALL CELERIES MAY BE 

 ENJOYED FROM DECEMBER TO MAY. 



Henderson's Winter Queen has been bred from the standard long-keep- 

 ing celery — Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand improve- 

 ment. It has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but little labor in 

 earthing up for blanching — and makes heavy, broad and solid heart stalks, 

 free from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and are so crisply 

 tender that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of its own weight. 

 In quality it is not surpassed by any celery grown, the esteemed "sweet, 

 nutty flavor" being noticed the moment tasted. It is so hardy in constitu- 

 tion that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to rot when trenched for 

 the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime condition. In bunching there 

 is very little waste, for the enormous hearts require but little trimming. We 

 consider this the very best type and strain of winter-keeping celerv in exist- 

 ence. (See cut'.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 \i lb.,' $4.00 lb. 



"You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half the praise it deserves. It 

 is by far the best-flavored, crispest and longest-keeping Celery I have ever 

 raised." CHAS. H. BUCK, Springfield, Mass.

HKFSKE? SWEET CORN 



POCAHONTAS. 



POSITIVELY THE EARLIEST VARIETY GROWN. 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn is positively 3 days earlier than any 

 other sweet corn grown, regardless of the claims for earliness 

 made for some other varieties, for we have proven it so in our 

 trial grounds for two years alongside all other early varieties 

 offered by other houses. 



Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from 

 the White Cob Cory. Its merits in addition to earliness are 

 uniformity of plant to type, constitution and productiveness. 

 The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white 

 kernels of very fine qualitv for so early a varietv. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk. 



Golden Bantam cw 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN. 



Golden Bantam is a dwarf-growing early variety. The 

 plant attains a height of only 3 to 4 feet, usually bearing two 

 or more ears about 5 inches long to a stalk. These little fat 

 ears are compactly filled with kernels which when ready for 

 the table are cream-yellow, so lusciously sweet, tender and 

 milky that some people claim it "the sweetest corn on earth." 

 Golden Bantam is one of the hardiest corns grown, therefore 

 can be planted earlier with safety than other varieties. This 

 characteristic also adapts it to localities having cool summer 

 weather, a continuous supply being maintained by succes- 

 sive sowings. (See cut.) 



Price, lOc. pkt., 20c. pint, 35c. quart, $2.00 peck. 



Corn, Peas and Beans we do not deliver free, but will do so if 5 cts. per pint or 1 cts. per quart is added to the prices.
