...HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR... 



Golden Self-blanching 



• • ••• CELERY. 



"T"HIS grand variety of French origin 

 * coming more popular every year, 

 is now one of the most extensively grow 

 sorts, both for private use and f 

 market. It is not as early as Whit 

 Plume, though it 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 blanch- 

 ing 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.

" YourGoldenSelf-BlanchingCelery is t lie 

 we have ever had on our table; its beautiful, crisp, sweet 

 stalks are relished by our whole family. It must be the finest 

 celery grown: at least we do not want a better. " 



Mrs. WM. MORGAN, Springfield, Ohio. 

 "I had the clearest field of Golden Self-blanching Celery 

 last season from your seed, that I ever saw. Scarcely a 

 green plant in seven acres." 



F. J. LOVELL, Hornellsville, N. Y. 

 " Your strain of Golden Self-blanching Celery has proven 

 superior to all others with me for the last five years. Sol 

 and free from hollow stalks.

HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



WHITE PLUME CELERY. 



The EARLIEST Variety Grown — Can be Blanched for 

 the Table in September — "Banking Up" not Necessary. 



XA/HITE PLUME CELERY was introduced by us and 

 " * is now more popular than ever. The peculiarity of the 

 self-blanching celeries is that they will blanch naturally 

 without the laborious banking up which is essential to ordi- 

 nary sorts. It is as easy to grow White Plume Celery as any 

 other vegetable. If the stalks are drawn together when the 

 plant is three-fourths grown and the soil drawn to or pressed 

 around the plant it will soon be fit for use. Boards are 

 sometimes placed close up to the plants, but the result is not 

 so satisfactory as by contact with the earth. 



At maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample 

 white heart and variegated leaves present a beautiful 

 appearance. The delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks 

 is unequalled. Our stock of this grand old vegetable is 

 finer today than ever and we are fully entitled to name 

 it "Henderson's Perfected White Plume." (See cut.)

 sition — just closed at Seattle. Washington — for my exhibit of Celery which I 

 grew from your Perfected White Plume Seed."
