Henderson's Winter Queen Celery 



The Standard Variety for Winter Keeping 



348. Late Celeries require different treatment from the self -blanching 

 sorts. After a slight banking up in the open ground the plants are put away 

 in deep trenches to blanch. Kept thus in contact with the earth, they ac- 

 quire a greater degree of tenderness and flavor. 



Winter Queen is a fine selection of Henderson's Golden Dwarf, and has all 

 the qualities which made it popular, plus a larger and fuller heart. It is an 

 excellent variety for a late crop, is very hardy, slow to rot in the trench and 

 is perfect in quality. {See engraving.') Price, 10c. pkt., 6Sc. oz., $2.00 M ^^-i

henderson;s^^^ White Plume Celery 



Can be blanched for the table by September and often by August if sown 

 early. "Banking up" not necessary 



350. 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. 

 K the stalks are drawn together when the plant is three-fourths gro^vn 

 and the soil drawn to or pressed around the plant 

 it wUl 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 unequaled. Our stock 

 of this grand old vegetable is finer today than ever 

 and we are fully entitled to name it "Henderson's 

 Perfected Wliite Plume." {See engraving.)

HENDERSON'S 



Golden RoseCelery 



Self-Blanching — Charming combination of 



rose and gold — Remarkably early 



and a perfect keeper 



340. Golden Rose is a development 

 of the favorite Golden Self-blanching 

 Celery, and shows its parentage in its 

 strong habit of growth, while its self- 

 blanching character is strongly fixed. 

 The plant is dwarf and heavy, the 

 stalks are very broad and solid, and are 



entirely free from those objectionable ridges which generally accompany stringi- 

 ness; indeed there is so little string that the stalks are positively brittle. The 

 general color is about identical with Golden Self-blanching, except that the 

 naturally golden-colored stalks are suffused with a warm rosy hue which grad- 

 ually fades towards the top of the stalks, where it assumes a bright golden color 

 when properly blanched and fit for the table. The unique combination of color 

 makes it exquisitely beautiful in appearance, and its self-blanching habit insures 

 its earhness whilst its hardiness and solidity bespeak its abiUty to keep for a 

 considerable time. 



As the original introducers of the Golden Dwarf, White Plume, New Rose and 

 Pink Plume Celeries, we claim to be more than an ordinary authority on- the 

 subject of Celery, and we would candidly say that in our opinion, the Golden 

 Rose Celery is one of the grandest varieties for private use we have ever 

 introduced. Its appearance is simply superb — a blending of 

 rich golden and deep rose in its heavy wax- 

 like stalks. In flavor it possesses all the rich- 

 ness and crispness of the red varieties with the 

 mildness of the Golden Self -blanching. It is 

 exouisite in flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 

 20c. pkt., 6 pkts. $1.00.
