Snowball, Henderson's 



Henderson's Snowball Celeriac 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 smooth, round turnip-like roots average three inches across, the flesh 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. (See engraving.) Price oz. 40c.,
