WINTER QUEEN CELERY. 



The Finest of All for Winter Use. 



Properly stored, this most delicious of all Celeries 



may be enjoyed from December to May. <£• J* 



Henderson's "Winter Queen has been bred from the standard long-keep- 

 ing celery — Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand improve- 

 ment. It has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but little labor in 

 earthing up for blanching — and makes heavy, broad and solid heart stalks, 

 free from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and are so crisply 

 tender that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of its' own weight. 

 In quality it is not surpassed by any celery grown, the esteemed "sweet, 

 nutty flavor" being noticed the moment tasted. It is so hardy in constitu- 

 tion that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to rot when trenched for 

 the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime condition. In bunching 

 there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts require but little trim- 

 ming. We consider this the very best type and strain of winter-keeping 

 celery in existence. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt.; 40c. oz.; $1.25 \ lb.; $4.00 lb. 



Henderson's Golden Dwarf Celery. 



This popular long-keeping variety, introduced by our- 

 selves, has solid cylindrical stalks and a large heart solid to 

 the center and when stored in banks, trenches • or Celery 

 houses, blanches to a beautiful golden hue. We recommend 

 this variety for winter use. It now constitutes the. bulk of 

 main crop Celery produced in all sections.

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn* 



A dwarf-growing early variety attaining a height of 

 only three feet, producing small, compactly filled ■ears; of 

 most delicious quality — by some considered the sweetest 

 corn grown. The kernels, when matured, are golden yellow, 

 but in the milk state are creamy-white. Price, 15c. pkt.;

POCAHONTAS. " 



Positively the Earliest Variety Grown! 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn is positively 3 days earlier than any 

 other sweet corn grown, regardless of the claims for earliness 

 made for some other varieties, for we have proven it so in our 

 trial grounds for two years alongside all other early varieties 

 offered by other houses. 



Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from 

 the White Cob Cory. Its merits in addition to earliness are 

 uniformity of plant to type, constitution and productiveness. 

 The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white 

 kernels of very fine quality for so early a variety. (See cut.) 



Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt.; 50c. qt.; $3.50 pk. 



HENDERSON'S New Early Sweet Corn 



HIAWATHA. 



Earliness, productiveness and delicious quality are the 

 pronounced merits of our new Hiawatha Sugar-Sweet Corn. 



The ears, about eight inches long, are compactly filled 

 with long, plump, pearly-white kernels, so lusciously tender, 

 creamy and sweet as to literally "melt in your mouth." Another 

 valuable feature is the length of time the ears remain "in the 

 milk," the thick husk giving splendid protection. The plant 

 grows about five feet high, bearing no less than two ears to a 

 stalk and frequently three ears, all very uniform in shape and 

 size. It is very early, being ready to use in from nine to ten 

 weeks from sowing, or only two or three days later than the 

 verv earliest variety grown, but Hiawatha is far superior in size 

 and quality. A perfect corn for the home table.
