C ELEKY PLANTS- 



EAP.LY SELF-BLANCHING VARIETIES. 



The peculiarity of the self blanching celeries is that they will blanch naturally 

 without the laborious banking up which is essential to ordinary sorts. They are 

 as easy to grow 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. Boards are sometimes placed close up to the 

 plants, but the result is not so satisfactory as by contact with the earth. 



HENDERSON'S 



SILVER SELF-BLANCHING. 



This grand Celery is easily described to Celery experts when we say that 

 it is a Golden Self-Blanching plant with White Plume coloring; it possesses 

 the robust, sturdy, compact habit of Golden Self-Blanching, the stalks being 

 even thicker, more solid and heavy, with immense solid hearts and all 

 brittle, crisp and tender, free from string or pithiness, and of delightfully 

 rich flavor. 



To these ideal qualities are added the beautiful silver-white coloring and 

 self-blanching characteristics of White Plume, that is, the foliage is tipped 

 and variegated with white, while the heart, inner stalks and leaves are 

 naturally white, and the plants may be easily and quickly blanched by 

 leaning boards on either side of the row, without the necessity of banking 

 up. This, combined with its extreme earliness, renders Henderson's Silver 

 Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable Celery ever introduced. 



Henderson's Perfected White Plume. The earliest variety grown and can 

 be blanched for the table in September. It is a self blanching variety 

 requiring no " banking up," easily grown by anyone, stalks and inner 

 leaves white, crisp and delicious. 



Golden Self Blanching. A valuable early variety of compact stocky habit 

 thick, solid and brittle. The large heart, thick stalks and inner leaves 

 are of a beautiful golden-yellow; flavor rich. 



Henderson's Golden Rose. A pink form of the "Golden Self -Blanching." 

 Of the same strong, stocky habit, hardy, early and easily blanched. The 

 stalks are broad, solid heavy and positively brittle, free from ridges and 

 stringiness, to which merits must be added its beautiful coloring golden 

 yellow, suffused with a warm rose hue. It is a good keeper and of a 

 superior quality. 



Henderson's Pink Plume. Practically identical with " White Plume," 

 with the added merit of the solid, stringless, ivory-white stalks being 

 tinged with pink, rendering it most beautiful. Flavor delicious, crisp and 

 nutty; a strong, healthy, compact grower, self-blanching, early and a 

 good keeper.
