HENDERSON'S 



Winter Queen 

 Celery 



The Standard Variety for 

 Winter Keeping 



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 acquire 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 Price, 10c. pkt., 85c. oz., 

 S3.00 }4 lb. 



"7 recommend Henderson's Winter 

 Queen Celery beyond all others. I think 

 it is the best on earth. ' '

Henderson's 

 Easy -Blanching Celery 



Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and Quickest to Blanch. 

 Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality. The Earliest and the Latest in One Row. 



This splendid Celery was named and introduced by us. It has taken rank with other 

 vegetables we have introduced, which are the standard of merit today. The original 

 stock has been improved under our watchful care and it is today 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 

 colored illustration on page 10.)

"While most varieties of celery are- difficult to grow in this pari of Iowa, Henderson's Easy- 

 Blanching Celery has yielded a crop which netted us a profit of SI. 000 per acre. The celery was 

 of large size, yet it was tender and juicy. Many of the bunches weighed more than that which is 

 shown on the scales in the photograph which I send herewith."

HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



W hite Plume Celery 



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

 "Banking up" not necessary 



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. 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 are unequaled. Our stock 

 of this grand old vegetable is finer todav than 



ever and.we are fully entitled to name it •'Henderson's Perfected White 

 Plume." (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 } 4 lb.
