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 appearance, which when 

 fully matured is most inviting; the foliage is creamy 

 yellow, and the stalks creamy white, becoming al- 

 most 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. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $2.50; M lb., $7.50. 



342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 



Thick, Crisp, 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 de- 

 velops 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.

A Favorite Second-Early Variety 



Emphatically Distinct From Any Other Sort 



The Easiest and Quickest to Blanch 



Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality 



It bleaches earlier and quicker than any of this class. 



It is the longest-keeping variety grown (if put away 

 green), excelling in this respect every other sort. It has 

 proved to be among the mosi valuable additions we 

 have made to the vegetable gardens of the world. 



So easily is it grown that the amateur can produce 

 Celery equal in quality to that which formerly could 

 be grown only by skilled men equipped with years of 

 experience. 



The plant is of medium height, of great vigor — 

 having thick, rather than broad stalks, with shallow 

 ribs. The leaves are slightly crumpled, distinguishing 

 it from any other variety. Its quality is superb. The
