EARLY VARIETIES 
339 GOLDEN PLUME SPECIAL STRAIN 
The First Early Celery Par Excellence 
Henderson’s Golden Plume Celery is absolutely the earliest maturing 
celery grown. It is large, vigorous, and appears to be immune to blight 
and rust. We highly recommend it to the home gardener on account 
of its ease of culture—it requires no banking—for its attractive appear- 
ance, which when fully matured is most inviting; the foliage is creamy 
yeliow, and the stalks creamy white, becoming almost white at the 
base. It is entirely devoid of any ribs or fibre, and it is brittle, tender 
and deliciously flavored. Its earliness, vigor, freedom from disease, 
large size, attractive appearance, and high quality commend it to all 
growers. Season 85 days from the setting out of the plants.

342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 
Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen Yellow. Very Early. 
An excellent variety of French origin. It is very early, blanches 
quickly and its rich color makes it quite attractive. The habit of the 
plant is short and stocky; the stalks are broad, thick, very solid, crisp 
and brittle; the quality is superb, tender and free from stringiness; 
flavor rich and delightful. It develops a large heart quite early in 
its growth, which makes the greater part of the plant edible. It is 
fit for use early in September. Season 90 days.
