Henderson's Perfected White Plume 
A Self-Blanching Celery. 
One of our most valuable contributions to horticul- 
ture. People who never grew celery before have no 
more trouble in growing and blanching Henderson's 
White Plume Celery ready for the table, than in grow- 
ing ordinary garden vegetables, for no " banking up " 
is necessary. The peculiarity of this variety is that the 
stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart are white, 
naturally, so that by simply tieing the plant together, 
or by drawing the soil against it, pressing it with the 
hands and then repeating the operation to hold the soil 
already placed against the plant in position, the work 
of blanching is completed. Henderson's White Plume 
Celery is crisp, succulent and has a delicious, nutty 
flavor. Unfortunately the variety has always had a 
tendency to revert to the old green type, and it has 
always produced a proportion of green plants, but per- 
severing selection for years enables us now to offer an 
almost absolutely pure stock, so superior that we feel 
justified in calling it " Plenderson's Perfected White 
Plume." {See top of page for price of plants.) 
Henderson's Golden Dwarf. 
In size and habit of growth it is much the same as 
the above, except that when blanched, the heart, which 
is large and full, is of a waxy golden yellow, rendering 
it a most striking and showy variety for either market 
or private use. It is entirely solid and of most excel- 
lent flavor, and one of the best keepers during winter 
we have ever known. {See top of page for price of 
plants.) 
Boston Market. 
A great favorite around Boston. The leaves are 
dark green, the stalks when blanched nearly white. It 
is an excellent variety, solid, crisp and tender. {See 
top of page for price of plants.) 
Henderson's Half Dwarf. 
Blanches of a yellowish white, it 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. {See top of page for price of 
plants.) 
Golden Self-Blanching. 
A most valuable variety which partakes somewhat of 
the character of the celebrated " White Plume," inas- 
much as it does not require such high ' ' banking up " 
as the ordinary sorts to be fitted for the table. It 
simply needs a slight earthing up or " handling." It 
is of a beautiful waxy golden color, very solid and of 
rich nutty flavor. {See top of page for price of plants.) 
Giant Pascal. 
This variety is a selection from the Golden Self- 
Blanching Celery; it partakes 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 about two feet high; the stalks 
are very broad, thick and crisp, and entirely stringless; 
the width and thickness of the stalks are distinctive 
features of this variety. It bleaches with but slight 
"earthing up " and very quickly, usually in five or six 
days. A most valuable variety for both early and mid- 
winter use. {See top of page for price of plants.) 
Giant White Solid. 
The best of the larger growing sorts attaining a 
height under good cultivation of 3 feet. It should 
never be planted closer than 4 feet between the rows, 
or it cannot be worked properly. This variety is most 
suitable for southern sections of the country, as it 
grows freely in a hot or dry atmosphere. {See top of 
page for price of plants.) 
RED CELERY, 
We have tried to impress upon our customers, for years, the superiority of Red Celery over White. Not only are they 
better flavored and more crisp, but they are hardier and keep better during winter. 
Henderson's New Rose Celery. 
Has that nutty flavor so desirable in celery, very 
ornamental on the table, the delicate tracing of carmine 
blending with the white in the blanched stalks. {See 
top of page for price of plants.) 
Major Clark's Pink. 
Of medium growth, of stiff, close habit, large heart, 
remarkably solid and crisp, and of fine, walnut-like 
flavor. {See top of page for price of plants.)
