EARLY VARIETIES 
339 GOLDEN PLUME (Henderson’s) 
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, becom- 
ing 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.

342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (Henderson’s) 
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.

345 SUPREME GOLDEN 
This is an outstanding new strain of the 
Golden Self Blanching type. The plants 
are vigorous, compact, with large, well 
developed hearts, and are slightly taller 
than Golden Self Blanching. The stalks 
are broad, fairly thick, and the width of 
the stalk extends well up to the first joint. 
The plants mature early and are easily 
blanched to a clear, creamy white. (See 
sllustration.)

343 MASTERPIECE 
An early, easy blanching variety of superior quality and flavor. This new 
variety possesses the high quality and richness of flavor of the late green varieties 
but matures as early as most of the self blanching strains nowin use. Plants are 
compact and grow 24 to 26 inches tall. Stalks 8 to 9 inches to the first joint, 
very thick, with rounded edges and almost entirely free from strings. An out- 
standing variety highly recommended for growers desiring a high quality celery.

350 PERFECTED WHITE PLUME (Henderson’s) 
It is as easy to grow White Plume Celery as any other vegetable. If the stalks 
are drawn together when the plant is three-fourths grown and the soil drawn to or 
pressed around the plant it will soon be fit for use, as the stalk portions of the 
inner Jeaves and the heart are white naturally. At maturity the plant is highly 
ornamental. Its ample white heart and variegated leaves present a beautiful 
appearance, and the delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks is unequaled.
