HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



DANVERS CARROT. 



A handsome, half-long 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 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 long 

 Carrots. Our selected stock is especially grown for mar- 

 ket gardeners, to whom it gives the best satisfaction. 

 (See cut.) Price 16c. oz., 40c. | lb., $1.26 lb. 



" Your Selected Half-Long Danvers i.s the best carrot I ever 

 saw. It yielded me 33 tons per acre of high grade table carrots." 

 HENRY GREFRRATH. South Lima. N.Y. 



This grand variety of French origin is becoming more popular every year and 

 is now one of the most extensively grown sorts, both for private use and for 

 market. It is as early as White Plume, and possesses the same self-blanching 

 characteristics and is of heavier and more compact growth, the stalks being 

 thick, crisp and brittle while the hearts are large and solid, all blanching a 

 beautiful waxen-yellow; the quality is superb, tender and free from stringiness; 

 flavor rich and delightful. Our seed is grown from a very select strain and pro- 

 nounced by expert Celery growers as very superior. (See engraving..) 



Price 15c. pkt, $1.50 oz., $4.50 i lb., $16.00 lb.

Easy-Blanching Celery. 



THE PIONEER OF A NEW CLASS. EASY TO GROW. EASY TO KEEP. 



This variety cannot properly be classed with either the self-blanching, or the 

 green sorts, as it possesses many of the best qualities of both. 



There is no green Celery that blanches so quickly and no blanching sort 

 that has its vigor, keeping quality or flavor. It is thoroughly blanched and 

 ready for use just about the time the green sorts are ready to pit, and is therefore 

 ready to market long in advance of them. Its keeping quality is so good that 

 it may be pitted for later use, or marketed straight from the field. It is medium 

 in height, the stalks are thick, brittle and stringless. The outer stalks close in 

 to the heart very readily, thus hastening the blanching process. There is no 

 variety that blanches the outer stalks so thoroughly, or that wastes so little in 

 trimming. (See engraving.) Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts., 50c, $2.00 oz., $7.00 

 i lb., $25.00 lb.
