345 SUPREME GOLDEN (New) 



A 1938 Introduction 



This is an outstanding new strain of the Golden 

 Self Blanching type. The plants are vigorous, com- 

 pact, with large, well developed hearts, and are 

 slightly taller than Golden Self Blanching. The 

 stalks are broad, fairly thick, and the width of the 

 stalk extends well up to the first joint. The plants 

 mature early and are easily, blanched to a clear, 

 creamy white. (See illustration.)

342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 



(Henderson's) 



Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen 

 Yellow. Very Early. 



An excellent variety of French origin. 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 brktie; 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

350 PERFECTED WHITE PLUME 

 (Henderson's) 



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 beauti- 

 ful appearance, and the delicate flavor of its 

 crisp, succulent stalks is unequaled.

EARLY VARIETIES 

 339 GOLDEN PLUME 



(Henderson's) 



The First Early Celery Par Excellence 



Henderson's Golden Plume Celery is absolutely 

 the earliest maturing celery grown. It is large, 

 vigorous, and appears to be immune to blight and 

 rust. We highly recommend it to the home gar- 

 dener 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, becom- 

 ing almost white at the base. It is entirely devoid 

 of any ribs or fibre, and it is brittle, tender and 

 deliriously flavored. Its earliness, vigor, freedom 

 from disease, large size, attractive appearance, and 

 high quality commends it to all growers. (See 

 illustration.)

332 EASY BLANCHING 



(Henderson's) 

 A Favorite Second-Early Variety 



Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. 

 The Easiest and Quickest to Blanch. Excels 

 All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality. 



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. 



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 shal- 

 low ribs. The leaves are slightly crumpled, dis- 

 tinguishing it from any other variety. Its quality is 

 superb. The stalks are tender and brittle, and the 

 flavor extremely spicy and aromatic.

LATE VARIETIES 



F raVR 



347 UTAH 



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, on the Pullman Dining Cars. It blanches 

 much more quickly than the ordinary green winter 

 sorts and keeps well for winter use.

Winter Queen is a fine selection of Henderson's

 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.
