' I 'HIS grand new Celery will be heard from in the near future. To Celery experts, we 

 •*• quickly describe it by stating that it is a Golden Self-Blanching 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 silvery-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 grand combination of merits, including earliness, will render Hender- 

 son's Silver Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable Celery for the market ever introduced. 

 (See cut.) 25c. pkt., 5 pkts. for $1.00. 



"I enclose you two photographs of your Silver 

 Self-Blanching Celery; this Celery has reached 

 a height of 28 inches in 5 weeks. The plants 

 are all alike, averaging in weight 8 lbs. and over 

 each. We have more than we can use ourseh'es 

 and so supplied some to our neighbors, and we 

 all say that it is the best, sweetest and lenderest 

 Celery ever eaten. My gardener, Wm. Storey, 

 has been raising Celery 18 years and says 

 Silver Self-Blanching is the best he has ever 

 raised or seen." 



B. KEGAN, Frostburg, Md. 



"Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery is the 

 best Celery I ever grew. We had some ready 

 for the table by July 2d — and in September it 

 was the finest Celery ever seen. Some of the 

 heads weighed 3J lbs., and half a dozen tipped 

 the scales at lJ,i lbs. You cannot speak too 

 highly of it." 



T. HUNT, Ogdensburg, N. Y. 



"Your new Celery, Silver Self-Blanching, is 

 fine. We still (.February 17th, 1904) have a 

 few stalks in the pit in good order; some of 

 them weighed, trimmed, lh lbs. each." 



GEO. BRINER, Columbia, Pa. 



"Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery I found 

 last year to be far ahead of White P'ume, both 

 for earliness and Quality."
