VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CELERY 



CULTURE — Sow seeds soon as frost is out of ground, about one-quarter inch deep. When seedlings are four inches high, they 

 should be cut back about one inch and transplanted into well enriched soil. Set plants six inches apart in rows three feet apart. 



332 EASY BLANCHING (Henderson's) 



(.See Color Plate, Page 22) 

 Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and Quickest 

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



It 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. 



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 broaa, 

 stalks, with shallow ribs. The leaves are slightly but densely crumpled .distin- 

 guishing it from any other variety. Its quality is superb. 



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

342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (Henderson's) 



Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen Yellow. Very Early 



An excellent variety of French origin. This is the variety grown largely for mar- 

 ket, but it is equally valuable for the private garden. It is very early, blanches 

 quickly and its rich color makes it quite attractive. The habit of the plant is 

 short and stocky; the stalks are broad, thick, very solid, crisp and brittle; the 

 quality is superb, tender and free from stringiness; flavor rich and delightful. It 

 develops a large heart quite early in its growth, which makes the greater part of 

 the plant edible. It is fit for use early in September.

341 GOLDEN DETROIT 



A New Introduction Which Will Be Welcomed By All Lovers Of Celery 



A new variety which we are sure will prove to be a decided acquisition: 



The plants are very compact and full hearted. The stems are broad and thick, 

 blanching to a light yellow, and are entirely free from strings. It is of the very 

 finest qualitv and we believe will become very popular. (See illustration.)

347 UTAH (NEW) 



This celery originated near Salt Lake City and has long been famous in that 

 region because of its very agreeable nutty flavor. It became known to easterners 

 through being served, wrapped up daintily in small portions on the Pullman Dining 

 Cars. It blanches much more quickly than the ordinary green winter sorts and 

 keeps well for winter use. (See illustration.)

THE TiREE PLUMED CELERIES 



a? .3 Early, Self -Blanching and Delicious 



350 PERFECTED WHITE PLUME 

 (Henderson's) 



White Plume Celery was introduced by us and is 

 now more popular than ever. 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, as the 

 stalk portions of the inner leaves and the heart are 

 white naturally. At maturity the plant is highly 

 ornamental. Its ample white heart and variegated 

 leaves present a beautiful appearance, and the del- 

 icate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks is un- 

 equaled. Our stock is finer today than ever and we 

 are fully entitled to name it "Henderson's Perfected 

 White Plume." (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 70c; X lb., $2.00; transporta- 

 tion paid. 



340 ROSY PLUME (Henderson's) 



Henderson's Rosy Plume is the result of a cross be- 

 tween Golden Self-Blanching and a Red Celery, and 

 it is characterized by the early self-blanching qual- 

 ities of the former and the sturdiness and delightful 

 piquant flavor of the latter parent.

339 GOLDEN PLUME 



(Henderson's Selected) 



(See Color Plate, Page 22) 



Henderson's Golden Plume Celery is abso- 

 lutely the earliest maturing celery grown. 

 It is large, vigorous, and appears to be im- 

 mune to blight and rust. We highly recom- 

 ment it to the home gardener on account of 

 its ease of culture — -it requires no banking — 

 for its attractive appearance, which when 

 fully matured is most inviting; the foliage 

 is creamy yellow, and the stalks creamy white, 

 becoming almost white at the base. It is 

 entirely devoid of any ribs or fibre, and it is 

 brittle, tender, and deliciously flavored. Its 

 earliness, vigor, freedom from disease, large 

 size, attractive appearance, and high quality 

 promise to market growers of this new variety 

 a very profitable return. 



Price, pkt.. 25c; oz., $3.50; % lb., $10.00;
