HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



Table Celeries 



The varieties of Celeries we illustrate, and to which 

 we give extra space, are, in our opinion, particularly well 

 adapted for cultivation in private gardens. 

 Our long experience with this crop gives our opinion 

 more than ordinary value. We strongly urge our 

 customers to be guided by our recommendations. We . 

 have abstained from any exaggeration in the claims 

 we make for the respective varieties. They are based 

 >n the actual experience, not of ourselves alone, but our 

 numerous customers in every State of the Union, and 

 under a great variety of conditions. 



Self-Blanching Celeries 



This is the name given to a number of varieties which, 



by reason of their earliness, and the short time required 



for the blanching process, are indispensable for the 



earliest crops. 



Their value is so pronounced that probably 90 per cent, of 



all the Celery marketed in the United States is of this class. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Golden Self- Blanching 



Stalks Thick, Crisp 

 and Brittle 



Celery 



Blanches a Beautiful 

 Waxen Yellow 



An excellent variety of French' origin. This is the variety grown 



largely for market, but it is equally valuable for the private garden. 



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, and 



remains in use until the later winter sorts mature. Our seed is grown 



from a very select strain and pronounced by expert Celery growers as 



very superior.
