PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



Henderson's Famous 

 Easy Blanching Celery 



GAINING IN POPULAR FAVOR BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS 



Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and 

 Quickest to Blanch. Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality. 



This splendid Celery was named and introduced by us. It has 

 already taken rank with other vegetables we have introduced, many of 

 which are the standard of merit and have achieved a world-wide 

 reputation. The original stock has been improved under our watchful 

 care and it is todaj'- as near perfection as nature can make it. 



Henderson's Easy Blanching Celery excels in the qualities that give 

 Self Blanching Celeries their value; it bleaches earlier and quicker than 

 any of this class. It is the longest keeping variety grown (if put away 

 green), excelling in this respect every other sort. It has proved to be 

 among the most valuable additions we have made to the vegetable gardens 

 of the world, and fit to take rank with the many famous varieties of 

 vegetables with which our name is associated. 



Henderson's Easy Blanching Celery enables the market grower to 

 command the market over the entire season, and so easily is it grown, that 

 the amateur can produce Celery equal in quality to that which formerly 

 could be grown only by skilled men equipped with years of experience. 



The plant is of medium height, of great vigor — having thick rather than 

 broad stalks, with shallow ribs. The leaves are slightly, but densely 

 crumpled, distinguishing it from any other variety. Its quality is superb. 



The stalks are tender and brittle, and the flavor extremely spicy and 

 aromatic. (See engraving.) 



Price, oz. $.80, 14 lb. $2.75, lb. $10.00.
