 SELF^BLANCHING 



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 characteris- 

 tics 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 Celerj'' growers as very superior.

WHITE ROCK CELERY. 



A new and unsurpassed variety for winter use, of 

 very dwarf and vigorous habit with large solid 

 heart, crisp, and tender; blanches quickly after 

 banking to a rich creamy-white color, a most de- 

 sirable variety for market use. It is a perfect dwarf 

 strain of Giant Pascal and sure to become popular. 



Price, 15c. pkt., 60c. oz., $1.75 i lb., $6.00 lb. 



GIANT PASCAL CELEKY. 



A popular variety for winter use; of vigorous, 

 "^ sturdy growth, making immensely thick and 

 heavy stalks and large heavy hearts, all remaining 

 deep green until blanched by earthing up or being 

 stored for winter. It blanches to a cream-yellow, 

 when the stalks are extremely brittle, entirely string- 

 less and exceedingly crisp; flavor rich and nutty. 

 Price, 25c. oz., 75c. i lb., $2.50 lb. 



WINTER QUEEN CELERY.^^^ 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER AND SPRING USE. 



This variety has been bred from the standard long-keeping celery — 

 Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand improvement. 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 trimming. 

 We consider this the very best type and strain of winter-keeping celery in 

 existence. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 i lb., $3.25 lb. 



" You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half the praise it deserves. It is by far the best- 

 flavored, crispest and longest-keeping Celery I have ever raised." CHAS. H. BUCK, 



Springfield, Mass.

GOLDEN DWAKF CELEKY. 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK. 



'T"HIS standard winter celery was introduced by ourselves ; 

 * it has a large heart with solid, fleshy stalks, first green, 

 then golden, medium tall. The broad, heavy stalks are al- 

 ways solid to the centre and when stored in banks, trenches 

 or Celery houses, the hearts blanch to a beautiful golden hue. 

 In bunching there is very little waste, for the enormous 

 hearts require but little trimming. 



This variety now constitutes the great bulk of main crop 

 Celery in all sections. In the great Celery-growing districts 

 of Kalamazoo, Mich., it is planted almost to the exclusion of 

 all others. Price, 25c. oz., 80c. \ lb., $2.75 lb.
