EARLY SELF-BLANCHING VARIETIES. These grow quickly, blanch easily and 

 are especially adapted for fall and early winter use. 



Silver Self-Blanching, Henderson's. A grand new variety, destined to great

 inner leaves blanching pure white, while the outer foliage is mottled with 

 silvery-white. Crop failed.

 ing no " banking up," easily grown by any one; stalks and inner leaves

 the added merit of the solid, stringless, ivory-white stalks being tinged with 

 pink, rendering it most beautiful. Flavor delicious, crisp and nutty; a 

 strong, healthy, compact grower, self -blanching, early and a good keeper. . .

 thick, solid and brittle. The large heart, thick stalks and inner leaves are 

 of a beautiful golden-yellow; flavor rich 



Golden Rofe, Henderson's. A pink form of the " Golden Self-Blanching" of 

 the same strong, stocky habit, hardy, early and easily blanched. The stalks 

 are broad, solid, heavy and poritively brittle, free from ridges and stringi- 

 ness, to which merits must be added its beautiful coloring, golden-yellow, 

 suffused with a warrr rose hue. It is a good keeper and or superior quality
