VEGETABLE SEEDS 



25 



336 GIANT PASCAL 



A desirable long-keeping green winter Celery; robust healthy stock, about 

 2 feet high, making broad, thick, stringless stalks and large hearts, all re- 

 maining deep green until blanched by earthing-up or by being stored for 

 winter. It blanches to a pearly white when the stalks are extremely 

 brittle, entirely stringless and exceedingly crisp; in fact, some truckers 

 complain that it cannot be tied into attractive marketable bunches on 

 that account, which, although a disadvantage from their standpoint, 

 indicates its high quality for the private grower; fiavor surpassingly rich 

 and nutty. 



Price, pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; ]4 lb. $1.50; transportation paid. 



338 GOLDEN DWARF (Henderson's) 



With a Heart of Cream and Gold 



This popular standard long-keeping variety was introduced by us 40 

 years ago and has for many years been planted almost exclusively by the 

 growers of the famous celery-growing district of Kalamazoo, Mich. Golden 

 Dwarf has a large heart and solid, cylindrical stalks, blanching golden 

 yellow. The flavor is very fine, deliciously crisp and a splendid keeper. 



Price, pkt. ISc; oz. 80c; J4 lb. $2.25; transportation paid. 



348 WINTER QUEEN (Henderson's) 



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 ac- 

 quire a greater degree of tenderness and fiavor. 



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 illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 80c; 34 lb. $2.25; transportation paid.

358 "SNOWBALL" 



(Henderson's) 



(Turnip-rooted Celery) 



While one of the most popular vege- 

 tables on the European Continent, is 

 regrettably not so well known here. 



However, when its superior merits and 

 excellence once become fully known, it 

 will be grown in every American home 

 garden. It is a delicious vegetable of 

 easy culture. The seed should be sown 

 outdoors early in spring and the plants 

 grown like any .ordinary root crop. It 

 requires no banking or blanching. 



The srsooth, round turnip-like roots 

 average three inches across, the iiesh 

 is snowy-white, and it has the flavor 

 of a delicious nutty celery. Celeriac 

 may be served in a great number of 

 ways. It is greatly relished in salads 

 and soups, and may also be cooked and 

 served in the same manner as turnips 

 and the like. The foliage of the Celeriac 

 is also valuable for flavorings, soup, etc.
