Hendersons Pcrfected WHitc Plume 



SIMILAR TO THE FOLLOWING: 



" YouT White Plume Celery last year was the best I ever bad. Not a single bead 

 reverted to the old green type." 



"I will occupy tbe space left by my wife to say a few words in praise of my Per- 

 fected White Plume Celery. I have been using your seed many years, but I have 

 never had such success as I have this year with the above seed. After a long expe- 

 rience in celery culture, I find nothing comparable to your White Plume." 



"You may be interested in knowing that your White Plume Celery took flr.st 

 premium at the Maryland State Fair. My bed is certainly the handsomest thing in 

 celery I ever saw. Some of the feathered hearts measure twenty inches in length 

 when trimmed and bunched for market."

HENDERSON'S 



"Perfected White Plume" 



CELERY 



Introduced into cultivation by us, and now more largely grown 

 than all other Celeries combined. 



Is the EARLIEST variety grown, and can be blanched for the 

 table in September. 



It has attained the pinnacle of perfection for growth, earliness, 

 beauty, flavor and texture. 



Those who never could grow celery before can succeed with 



Henderson's "Pertected wnile Flume" Geiery. 



Introduced by us years ago ; time has proved it to be one 

 of our most valuable contributions to horticulture. It is now 

 more popular and more largely grown than all other varieties 

 of celery combined. People who never grew celery before have 

 no more trouble in growing and blanching Henderson's White 

 Plume Celery ready for the table than in growing ordinary 

 garden vegetables, for no "banking up" is necessary. The 

 peculiarity of this variety Is that the stalk, portions of inner 

 leaves aud heart are white naturally, so that by simply tying 

 the plant together, or by drawing 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 

 blanching is completed. Henderson's White Plume Celery pre- 

 sents a highly ornamental appearance on the dinner table, and 

 its crisp, succulent stalks and delicious flavor are unequaied by 

 any vegetable grown. Unfortunately the variety has always 

 had a tendency to revert to the old green type, and it has 

 always produced a proportion of green plants, but persevering 

 selection for years enables us now to offer an almost absolutely 

 pure stock, so superior that we feel justified in calling it "Hen- 

 derson's Perfected White Plume." (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 35c. oz., $1.00 1^ lb., $3.50 lb.
