Where others fail. 



Those who have never suc- 

 ceeded before should grow 



"HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL." 



It is hardly necessary for us In 

 describe this variety at all, as its 

 name has now become a household 

 word wherever this delicious vege- 

 table is grown. Snowball Cauli- 

 flower is the standard every- 

 where for quality with the 

 seedsman, the market gardener 

 and the amateur. While originally 

 recommended and used as an early 

 variety, it has not only supplantcl 

 all other sorts for early spring plant- 



""■ ■ " '"""""" I " ' ing, but it has largely driven out 



the large late sorts for fall use, being much finer in quality, and the only Cauliflower that is absolutely certain to head when the conditions are right, 

 ^^^J^^t^^a^S^S&^GA^aXMWxS'iB superior to all others. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers Its close-growing 



purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. (See cut.) Price, 25c. per pkt., $4.00 per oz., $14.00 per )i lb., $48.00 per lb.

flMnk flMume." 



The most beautiful Celery 

 that ever graced a table. 



_ Flavor most delicious, 



crisp and nutty. 



The first and the last Celery 



that is fit to use. Absolutely • 



solid and free from stringiness. 



So brittle that a stalk held 

 • in the hand will almost break 



of its own weight. 



This new variety is conceded by critical 

 authorities to be an advance in celeries 

 that merits more than ordinary praise ; it 

 is an intermediate between white and red 

 celeries, combining the crisp, rich nutty 

 flavor and long-keeping qualities for 

 which red celeries are noted, and it is a 

 celery of remarkable attractiveness when 

 trimmed for the table. The solid succu- 

 lent stalks are Ivory White suffused 

 ■with Dainty Pink. 



Henderson's New " Fink Plume' ' 

 Celery is a strong, healthy, compact 

 grower, with no tendency to rust; stems 

 very solid and crisp, extra early and a long- 

 keeper, remaining when properly trenched 

 in perfect condition away into the spring. 

 The variegation on the tops does not show 

 quite as early as the "White Plume," but 

 the celery blanches and matures really a 

 little earlier. It is a self-blanching variety 

 — that is, it requires but a slight earthing 

 up or banking to prepare this variety for 

 the table. 



We have introduced into cultivation 

 many new vegetables which have become 

 indispensable, but never an applicant to 

 the gardening world with more confidence 

 in its ability to win a permanent place 

 than Henderson's New " Pink 

 Plume" Celery. (See cut.) Price, 20c. 

 per pkt., $1.50 per oz., $5.00 per %, lb.

CELERY 



HENDERSON'S NEW " PINK PLUME CELERY. 



Introduced into -^ 



Cultivation by us. 



Now more largely 

 •^k* grown than all other 



celeries combined. 



It has attained the pinnacle of 

 perfection for growth, earliness, 

 beauty, flavor and texture. 



Those who never could 

 grow Celery before can 

 succeed with White 

 Plume. 



The peculiarity of this variety is that the 

 stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart 

 are white naturally, so that by simply ty- 

 ing the plant together, or by drawing the 

 soil against it, pressiDgit with the hands 

 and then repeating the operation to hold 

 the soil already placed against the plant 

 in position, the work of blanching is com 

 pleted. Henderson's White Plume Celery 

 presents a highly ornamental appearance 

 on the dinner table, and its crisp, suc- 

 culent stalks and delicious flavor are 

 unequaled by any vegetable grown. Un- 

 fortunately the variety has always had a 

 tendency to revert to the old green type, 

 and it has always produced a proportion 

 of green plants, but persevering selection 

 for years enables us now to offer an almost 

 absolutely pure stock, so superior that we 

 feel justified in calling it "Henderson's 

 Perfected White Plume." Price, 10c. per 

 pkt., 40c. per oz., $1.25 per )£ lb., $4.00 

 per lb.
