Henderson's Perfected 



A Self-Blanching Celery. "Wllite Plume. 



People who never grew celery before have no trouble 

 In growing and blanching Henderson's White Plume Cel- 

 ery ready for the table, for no '" banking-up" is necessary. 

 The .stalks, portions of inner leaves and heart are white, 

 naturally, so that by simply tying 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. {See opposite 

 page for price of plants.) 



Henderson's Golden D-warf. 



In size, habit and growth it is much the same as the 

 above, e.xcept 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 cither market or private 

 use. It is solid, of excellent flavor and one of the best 

 winter keepers. (See of posite page for price of plants^ 



Boston raarket. 



A great favorite around Doston. The leaves are dark 

 green, the stalks when blanched nearly white. It is an 

 excellent variety, solid, crisp and tender. (See opposite page 

 for price o/pla nts. ) 



Golden Self-Blanctalng:. 



A most valuable variety which partakes somewhat of 

 thecharacter of the celebrated " White Plume." inasmuch 

 as it does not require such high "banking-up" as the 

 ordinary sorts to be fitted (or the table. It .'miply needsa 

 slight earthing up or "handling." It is of a beautiful 

 waxy golden color, very solid and of rich nutty flavor.

Golden Rose Celery. 



A development of " Golden Sclf-Hlanching " having 

 the same strong, stocky growth with broad, solid and 

 brittle stalks, free from ndgcs and stringiness. It blanchr 8 

 naturally, is very early, hardy and a perfect keeper ; the 

 flavor IS exquisite, while the beautitul coloring renders it 

 unusually attractive, the golden colored stalks nre suf- 

 fused with a rosy hue fading towards the top, which are 

 surmounted with yrllowish plume-like foliage. (See oppo- 

 site page for price o/pla r.ts. ) 



Henderson'0 Half D\rarf 



Blanches of a yellow white, it is entirely solid, posess- 

 ing a rirh, nutty flavor, while it has much vigor of growth, 

 surpassingmost of large growing sorts in weight ot bunch. 

 iSee opposite page /or price o/ plants.) 



Giant Pascal. 



A selection from Golden Self-Blanching Celery ; it par- 

 takes of the best qualities of that variety, but is larger and 

 a better keeper. It is of a fine nutty flavor, grows about 2 

 fuet high ; the stalks are very broad, thick and crisp, and 

 entirely stringless, the width and thickness of the stalks 

 are distinctive features. It bleaches with but flight 

 " earthing-up " and very quickly, usually in five or six 

 days. Valuable for both early and mid-wmter. (See oppo- 

 site page /or price 0/ plants ) 



Giant 'White Solid. 



The best of the larger growing sorts, attaininga 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 sec- 

 tions of^the country, as it grows freely in a hot or dry at- 

 mosphere. (See opposite page /or price 0/ plants.) 



Henderson's Ne^r 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 oppo- 

 site page /or price 0/ plants.) 



London Red. 



Of medium growth, of slifT, cl> c habit, large heart, 

 remarkably solid and crisp, and of fine walnut-like flavor. 

 (Scd opposite page /or price 0/ planis.) 



Pink Plume Celery. 



An intermediate between white and red celeries, com. 

 of both. It is practically iden- 

 inie," but with the adOed marit 

 of the solid succulent stalks of Ivory white bcintr exqui- 

 sitely suffused with plnkanb possessing the crispncss. 

 rich nutty flavor, and long-keeping qualities f<ir which 

 red celeries arc noted. In addit.on to its choico " red- 

 cc'cry flavor," it is of remarkable attractiveness. (See
