This new variety is conceded by critical authorities to be an advance 

 in celeries that merits more than ordinary praise ; it is an intermediate 

 between white and red celeries, combining the good qualities of 

 both.

To those who are acquainted with our world-famous 

 "White Plume" — and who is not? — we can quickly de- 

 scribe the "PINK PLUME" by stating that it is practi- 

 cally identical but with the added merit of the stalks being 

 exquisitely suffused with pink and possessing the crispness, 

 rich nutty flavor, and long-keeping qualities for which red 

 celeries are noted. Red celeries, notwithstanding their 

 superior flavor, have never become popular in this country 

 on account of the prejudice against their dark appearance. 

 But in this new celery, "PINK PLUME," in addition to 

 its choice "red celery flavor," we have a celery of remark- 

 able attractiveness when trimmed for the table. The solid 

 succulent stalks are IVORY WHITE SUFFUSED 

 WITH DAINTY PINK, which not only delight the eye 

 but tempt the palate of the epicure.

Henderson's J4euu 'Pink Plume" Celery is a strong, 

 healthy, compact grower, with no tendency to rust ; stems very solid and 

 crisp, extra early and a long keeper, remaining when properly trenched 

 in perfect condition away into the spring. The variegation on the tops 

 does not show quite as early as the " White Plume," but the celery 

 blanches and matures really a little earlier. It is a self-blanching variety 

 in the same sense that the "White Plume" and Golden Self-Blanching 

 are ; that is, it requires but a slight earthing-up or banking to prepare this 

 variety for the table. 



We have introduced into cultivation many new vegetables which have become indispensable, but never 

 an applicant to the gardening world with more confidence in its ability to win a permanent place than 



Henderson's Jleuu "Pink Plame" Celery. 



Price, 25 ets. per Paeket.
