Henderson's Selected Half-Long 



= DAN VERS CARROT= 



A handsome half -long, cylindrical, stump- 

 rooted Carrot of good size and of a rich, dark 

 orange color ; it grows to a large size, is smooth, 

 and the flesh very close in texture, with very 

 little core and a small, tapering tap-root. It 

 is a first-class Carrot for all soils; under good 

 cultivation it has yielded 25 to 30 tons per 

 acre with the smallest length of root of any 

 now grown, and is more easily harvested than 

 the longer types. Our selected stock gives 

 the best of satisfaction. (Sec cut.) Price,

HENDERSON'S P ERFECTED WHITE PLUME C ELERY. 



The EARLIEST variety grown — can be blanched for the table in September. " Banking up " not necessary.= 



WHITE PLUME CELERY introduced 

 by us is now more popular and more largely 

 grown than any other variety. People 

 who never grew Celery before have no more 

 trouble in growing and blanching Hender- 

 son's White Plume Celery ready for th? 

 table than in growing ordinary garden veg- 

 etables, for "banking up" is not necessary. 

 The peculiarity of this variety is that th? 

 stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart 

 are white naturally, so that by simply 

 tying the plant together, or by draw^ 

 ing the soil against it, pressing it 

 with the hands and then repeating 

 the operation to hold the soil 

 already placed against the plant 

 in position, the work of blanch- 

 ing is completed. Henderson's 

 White Plume Celery presents a 

 highly ornamental appearance 

 on the dinner table, and its 

 crisp, succulent stalks and 

 delicious flavor are unequalled 

 by any vegetable grown. Per- 

 severing selection for years 

 enables us to offer a stock so 

 superior that we call it "Hender- 

 son's Perfected White Plume."

"I raised your White Plume Celery last year and it 

 was the best celery I ever raised. I began bleaching it 

 in August and it lasted until New Year's — was crisp 

 and sweet." 



Mrs. FRED. LEUSER. Geneseo, N. Y. 



"I say, with great pleasure, that your White Plume 

 Celery is the best we have ever grown; with it we captured 

 first premium at the Kentucky State Fair. We grew 

 it to mammoth size and 3 feet in height." 



VITTER BROS.. Louisville. Ky. 



"After experience in Celery culture for many years, 

 your White Plume was the best we ever had. The 

 stalks were white from root to leaf, and when -prepared 

 for the table measured 23 inches Everybody pro- 

 nounced it the most beautiful celery they ever saiv." 

 T. B. McILWAIN, Napier, Ontario. Can.
