HENDERSONS /"^ELERY. 



SUPERIOR STOCK. W 



TTHIS grand variety of French origin is becoming 

 •*■ more popular every year, and is now one of 

 the most extensively grown sorts, both for private 

 use and for market. It is not as early as White 

 Plume, though it possesses the same self-blanching 

 characteristics and is of heavier and more compact 

 growth, the stalks being thick, crisp and brittle 

 while the hearts are large and solid, all blanching a 

 beautiful waxen- yellow; the quality is superb, ten- 

 der and free from stringiness; flavor rich and de- 

 lightful. Our seed is a very select home-grown 

 strain and pronounced by expert Celery growers as 

 very superior. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 '+ lb., $5.00 lb. 



"We can say with pleasure that your Golden Self-Bin ■ 

 Celery is the best Celery we ever had on our table; its beautiful, crisp, 

 sued stalks are relished by our whole family. It must be the finest 

 Celery grown; at least we do not want a better." 



Mrs. WM. MORGAN, Springfield, Ohio. 

 "I used your Golden Self-Blanching Celery last year and found 

 the crop free from hollow stalks, while my neighbors, who used seed 

 from another source, lost nearly all their crops from hollow Celery." 

 R. J. DALLINGER, Akron, Ohio. 

 "Your Golden Self-Blanching gave us the best satisfaction o] 

 any Celery ue ever grew." 



W. W. BUCK, Clintonville, Ohio. 



HENDERSON'S 



Golden Dwarf Celery. 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK. 



HTHIS popular standard long-keeping variety was 

 *■ introduced by ourselves; it has a large heart 

 and solid cylindrical stalks, first green, then golden, 

 medium tall. The broad heavy stalks are always 

 solid to the centre and when stored in "banks," 

 "trenches" or Celery houses, the hearts blanch to a 

 beautiful golden hue. In bunching there is very 

 little waste, for the enormous hearts require but 

 little trimming. We confidently recommend this 

 variety to those who grow Celery for winter use. 

 This variety now constitutes the great bulk of main crop Celery 

 that is produced in all sections. In the great Celery-growing 

 districts of Kalamazoo, Mich., this variety is planted almost to 

 the exclusion of all others, except the White Plume, for early. 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 '+ lb., $3.50 lb. 



" You cannot speak too highly of Henderson's Golden Dwarf Celery. I raised 

 the finest Celery I ever saw from your seed of this variety; it is tlie Celery to grow 

 for quantity; its quality, too, is of the highest order." 



SOLON P. POWELL. Findlay, Ohio. 



GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



THIS is now one of the most popular varieties for winter use; 

 *■ properly stored it is perhaps the best keeper outside of the 

 Red Celeries. Giant Pascal is of vigorous, sturdy growth, 

 making immensely thick and heavy stalks and large heavy 

 hearts, all remaining deep green until blanched by earthing- 

 up or being stored for winter. It blanches to a cream-yellow, 

 when the stalks are extremely brittle, entirely stringless and 



exceedingly crisp ; in fact, some 

 truckers complain that it can- 

 not be tied into attractive 

 marketable bunches on that 

 account, which, although a 

 disadvantage from their stand- 

 point, indicates its high qual- 

 ity for the private grower; 

 flavor surpassingly rich and 

 nutty. (See 



Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 

 80c. i lb., $2.75 lb. 



" Your Giant Pascal Celery took 

 the toum — or rather, the town took the 

 Celery. It was considered the 

 our market; large, solid, white and 

 crisp." 



CALVIN SMITH, 

 Market Gardener, Xorwalk, Ct. 



"I have raised the best Celery I 

 ever saw from your Giant Pascal 

 Celery seed; it cannot be surpassed."
