GOLDEN DWARP. This, like many other standard varieties of vegetables, was 

 first introduced by ourselves. The Golden Dwarf now constitutes the great bulk 

 of main crop Celery that is produced in all sections of the United States. In the 

 great Celery-growing districts of Kalamazoo, Mich., this variety is planted almost 

 to the exclusion of all others, except the White Plume, which they use for the early 

 crop. Golden Dwarf, when blanched, is of a waxy golden-yellow color, the stalks 

 are cylindrical in shape and most solid and crisp in quality, and one of the best 

 keeping of Celeries. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. y± lb., $2.75 lb. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. A most valuable variety, partaking of the char- 

 acter of the celebrated "White Plume," inasmuch as it simply needs a slight 

 earthing up or '"handling." It is of a beautiful waxy golden color, very solid, and 

 of a rich nutty flavor. 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 }£ lb., $4.50 lb. 



GIANT PASCAL. A selection from the Golden Self-blanching 

 Celery, partaking of the best qualities of that variety, but is 

 much larger and a better keeper. It is of a fine, nutty flavor, 

 being entirely free from any bitter taste. It grows two feet high ; 

 stalks broad, thick, crisp and stringless ; the width and thickness 

 of the stalks are distinctive features of this variety. It bleaches 

 with but slight "earthing up," 

 and very quickly, usually in five 

 or six days. A valuable variety 

 for both second early and mid- 

 winter use. (-See cut.) 10c. pkt., 

 35c. oz., $1.00 y A lb., $3.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S HALF 

 DWARF. Entirely solid, pos- 

 sessing a rich nutty flavor, while 

 it has much vigor of growth, 

 surpassing most of the large- 

 growing sorts in weight of 

 bunch. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. 

 M lb., $2.50 lb. 



BOSTON MARKET. A great 

 favorite around Boston, and simi- 

 lar to the Dwarf White, but rather 

 more robust. The leaves are a 

 darker green, the stalks when 

 blanched being nearly white. It 

 is an excellent variety, solid, 

 crisp and tender. 5c. pkt., 25c. 



CELEBY, "GIANT PASCAL.' 



GOLDEN DWARF CELERY. 



HENDERSON'S DWARF WHITE. This variety is perfectly solid, 

 the stalks half-round. When blanched is a yellowish white, crisp, 

 tender, and of fine flavor. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.50 lb. 



GIANT WHITE SOLID. The best of the large-growing sorts, attaining 

 a height, under good cultivation, of 3 feet. It should never be planted 

 closer than 4 feet between the rows. This variety is most suitable for 

 southern sections of the country, as it grows freely in a hot or dry 

 atmosphere. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J£ lb., $2.50 lb. 



Sandringham Dwarf White. Excellent variety, remarkable for its fine 

 flavor and solidity. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J4 lb., $2.50 lb 



CEliE^Y.— $ed Varieties. 



Our sales of seeds and plants of the Rose and Red Celeries are steadily 

 increasing as people are beginning to know that they are unquestionably 

 better in quality, having a much finer flavor and more solid and crisp. 

 They are equally ornamental on the table, the delicate tracing of carmine 

 blending with the white in the blanched stalks. They are also hardier and 

 keepbetter through the winter. The following is a list of the best varieties : 

 HENDERSON'S " NEW PINK PLUME." (See Novelties, page 8, and 



colored plate, page 9.) 20c. fkt., 6 pkts. for $1.00. 

 HENDERSON'S NEW ROSE. A first-class Celery. The color is 



a beautiful shade of rose, of exceptionally fine flavor, solid, crisp and 



entirely free from stringiness. A splendid variety for late use, keeping 



well. 5c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.25 J^ lb., $4.00 lb.
