 ^^Introduction. 



Henderson's Half Dwarf Celery. 



Except, perhaps, the Golden Dwarf, this variety is now grown more extensively than any other, by the 

 Market Gardeners who supply the New York City Markets, and is the kind now found on the tables of all 

 first-class hotels. When blanched it is of a yellowish white, making it very ornamental for the table, is 

 entirely solid, possessing a rich nutty flavor, while it has much vigor of growth, surpassing most of the large- 

 growing sorts in weight of bunch when grown under the same conditions. 



10 cts. per pkt.; 25 cts. peroz.; 80c. per ^ lb.; $3.00 per lb. 



White Walnut Celery. 



One of our very best late introductions. It is of dwarf habit, seldom attaining a height of more than 

 20 inches. It is solid and heavy, and has a peculiar, rich walnut-like flavor. A novel and valuable quality 

 of this variety is its graceful and feather-like foliage, which, when blanched, makes it a most beautiful Celery 

 or t e la le. ^^ ^^^^ p^^. pj^^ . ^^ cts. per oz.; 80c. per ^ lb.; $3.00 per lb. 



Golden Dwarf Celery. 



A very distinct variety which originated near Newark, N. J., a few years ago, and whose great value ha 



been shown by the fact that it is largely grown around that locality, for both the Newark and New York 



markets. In size and habi: of growth it is mjch the sjme as the Half Dwarf and Dwarf White kinds, except 



that when blanched the heart, which is large and full, is of a waxy golden ye'low, rendering 



it a most striking and showy variety for either market or private use. It is entirely solid 



^^gj^pi^l^^ and of most excellent flavor, and one of the best keepers during winter we have ever known. 



10 cts. per pkt.; 25 cts. per oz.; 80c. per ^ lb.; $3.00 per lb. 



London Red Celery. 



We have tried to impress upon our customers, for years, the superiority of the Red 

 Celery over the White. Not only that, as a rule, they are better flavored and more 

 crisp, but they are hardier and keep better during winter. The variety London 

 Red is one of the best we have ever seen, having every requisite good quality. 



10 cts, per pkt.; 25 cts. per oz.} 80c. per ^ lb.; I3.00 per lb. 



Major Clarke's Pink Celery. 



Of late years we have found more of a disposition to grow the pink or red varieties 



of Celery, which is as it should be, for so far'as flavor goes the red and pink varieties 



are, as a rule, much superior to the white sorts. In our trials of many varieties we have 



considered this. Major Clarke's Pink, to be a desirable acquisition to our existing list of 



Celeries, which, as our customers know, is a leading specialty with us. This variety is of medium growth, 



of stiff, close habit, large heart, remarkably solid and crisp, and of fine walnut flavor. (^See Cut.) 



15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per oz.; $1.25 per ^ lb.
