HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



CHANTENAY 



HALF-LONG SCARLET CARROT. 



A short, thick, stump-rooted sort of handsome shape, 

 very productive and of fine quality. It is very largely 

 grown for bunching and as an early basket sort. It is 

 remarkably even in shape and size; no sort equals it 

 in this respect. For medium early and main crop it is 

 unexcelled. It is not recommended for winter storing. 

 Price, 15c. oz., 40c. 1 lb., $1.25 lb. 



" Your Half-Long Scarlet Carrot is an early and very productive kind." 



L. W. Taylor, Napavine, Wash. 



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 20c. oz., 45c. \ lb., $1.50 lb. For our 

 cheaper strain of Danvers see page 34. 



" Your Selected Half-Long Danvers is the best carrot I ever saw. It 

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



HENRY GREFFRATH, South Lima. N. Y. 



GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING 



CELEKY. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STOCK. 



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 pronounced by expert Celery growers as very 

 superior. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., $1.25 oz., $4.25 j lbl, 

 $16.00 lb. 



"I have as good an advertisement for your SELF BLANCHING CELERY 

 SEED as you could wish for — out of 355 crates of fine celery I only cut one 

 hollow stalk, while some people around here hare had one-third of their crop 

 thrown out for such cause." CARL A. BAUMEISTER, Sanford, Fla. 



HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



WHITE PLUME CELERY. 



The Earliest Variety can be Blanched in September. 



White Plume Celery was introduced by us years ago, and 

 is now more popular than ever. There is no trouble in 

 blanching White Plume for banking up is not necessary when 

 wanted early. The peculiarity of this variety is that the 

 stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart are white naturally 

 so that it can be blanched in a few days by simply leaning 

 boards against it. Though one of the most popular early 

 sorts if grown similar to late varieties it will be found a very 

 good keeper, which is not generally known. Unfortunately 

 the variety has always had a tendency to revert to the old 

 green type, but persevering selection for years enables us 

 now to offer an almost absolutely pure stock. At the same 

 time we have been selecting for size until we can now justly 

 claim to have the heaviest stock offered, with broad symmetri- 

 cal ribs. A strain co superior that we felt justified in calling 

 it "Henderson's Perfected White Plume." Price, 10c. pkt., 

 30c. oz., $1.00 | lb., $3.25 lb. 



"I raised your White Plume Celery last year and it was the finest I ever 

 saw — 32 inches high and very heavy. Some stalks I weighed when ready 

 for market, and they tipped the scales at 2% pounds." 



J. D. BAMBERGER, Fort Dodge, Iowa.
