HENDERSON'S SELECT EARLY VARIETIES 
339 GOLDEN PLUME (Henderson's) 
The First Early Celery Par Excellence 
Henderson's Golden Plume Celery is absolutely the earliest maturing celery 
grown. It is large, vigorous, and appears to be immune to blight and rust. We 
highly recommend it to the home gardener on account of its ease of culture — it 
requines no banking — for its attractive appearance, which when fully matured is 
most inviting; the foliage is creamy yellow, and the stalks creamy white, becom- 
ing almost white at the base. It is entirely devoid of any ribs or fibre, and it is 
brittle, tender and deliciously flavored. Its earliness, vigor, freedom from disease, 
large size, attractive appearance, and high quality commend it to all growers. 
Price, pkt., 25c; oz., S2.50; M lb., $7.50. 
342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (Henderson's) 
Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen Yellow. Very Early. 
An excellent variety of French origin. It is very early, blanches quickly and 
its rich color makes it quite attractive. The habit of the plant is short and stocky ; 
the stalks are broad, thick, very solid, crisp and brittle; the quality is superb, 
tender and free from stringiness; flavor rich and delightful. It develops a large 
heart quite early in its growth, which makes the greater part of the plant edible. 
It is fit for use early in September. 
Price, pkt., 15c; oz., $1.50; X lb., $4.50 
343 MASTERPIECE 
An early, easy blanching variety of superior quality and flavor. This new 
variety possesses the high quality and richness of flavor of the late green varieties 
but matures as early as most of the self-blanching strains now in use. Plants are 
compact and grow 24 to 26 inches tall. Stalks 8 to 9 inches to the first joint, 
very thick, with rounded edges and almost entirely free from strings. An out- 
standing variety highly recommended for growers desiring a high quality celery. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00; oz., $4.00. 
345 SUPREME GOLDEN 
This is an outstanding new strain of the Golden Self- Blanching type. The 
plants are vigorous, compact, with large, well-developed hearts, and are slightly 
taller than Golden Self- Blanching. The stalks are broad, fairly thick, and the 
width of the stalk extends well up to the first joint. The plants mature early 
and are easily blanched to a clear, creamy white. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00; oz., $3.00. 
350 PERFECTED WHITE PLUME (Henderson's) 
It is as easy to grow White Plume Celery as any other vegetable. If the stalks 
are drawn together when the plant is three-fourths grown and the soil drawn to or 
pressed around the plant it will soon be fit for use, as the stalk portions of the 
inner leaves and the heart are white naturally. At maturity the plant is highly 
ornamental. Its ample white heart and variegated leaves present a beautiful 
appearance, and the delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks is unequaled. 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 70c; M lb., $2.00. 
SECOND-EARLY VARIETIES 
332 EASY BLANCHING (Henderson's) 
A Favorite Second-Early Variety 
Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and Quickest 
to Blanch. Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality. 
It bleaches earlier and quicker than any of this class. 
It is the longest-keeping variety grown (if put away green), excelling in this 
respect every other sort. It has proved to be among the most valuable additions 
we have made to the vegetable gardens of the world. 
So easily is it-grown that the amateur can produce Celery equal in quality to 
that which formerly could be grown only by skilled men equipped with years of 
experience. 
The plant is of medium height, of great vigor — having thick, rather than 
broad, stalks, with shallow ribs. The leaves are slightly crumpled, distinguishing 
it from any other variety. Its quality is superb. The stalks are tender and brittle, 
and the flavor extremely spicy and aromatic. 
Price, pkt., 15c; oz., $1.50; \i lb., S4.50. 
349 PRIZEHEART HENDERSON'S (NEW) 
This is one of the most desirable early green varieties we have ever seen. It 
matures fully as early as Easy Blanching. The plants possess exceptional vigor 
and average about 25 inches in height. An added advantage of tlis new variety 
is that the plants are very full hearted. The stalks are about 9 inches to the 
first joint, rather broad, thick and quite smooth. Henderson's Prizeheart, 
although a green varietv, blanches readily and the only trace of green remaining 
is a slight tinge on the outer stalks. The stems are very crisp and free from 
strings. The quality of this new variety is remarkable.

ordinary green winter sorts and keeps well for winter use.
