...HErNDERSON'S SUPERIOR... 



Golden Self-Blanching 



CELERY 



• ♦ ♦ ♦ 



« • * * 



This grand varietj- of French origin is becoming more 

 popular every year, and is now one of the most extensively 

 grown sorts, both for private use and for market. It is not 

 as early as White Plume, though it possesses the same self- 

 blanching characteristics and is of heavier and more compact 

 growth, the stalks being thick, crisp and brittle, while the 

 hearts are large and solid, all blanching a beautiful waxen- 

 yellow; the quality is superb, tender and free from stringiness; 

 flavor rich and delightful. Our seed is grown from a very 

 select strain and pronounced by expert Celer>- growers as 

 verv superior. {Sec cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., $1.25 oz.. S4.00 '4

"/ nsed your Golden Self-Blanching Celery Seed last year and found the 

 crop free from hollow stalks while my neighbors who used seed from another 

 source lost nearly tkeir entire crop from hollow Celery." 



R. J. DALLINGER. Akron, Ohio. 

 "I have as good an advertisement for your Golden Self-Blanching Celery as 

 you could wish for. Out of 355 crates of fine Celery 1 have only cut one hollow 

 stalk, while some people have had one third of their crop to throw out for such 

 cause. CARL A. BAUMEISTER. Sanford, Fla. 



" Your Golden Self- Blanching Celery is tite best Celery we have ever had on 

 our table: its beautiful, crisp, sweet stalks are relished by our whole family. 

 It must be the finest Celery grown; at least we do not want a belter." 



Mrs. WM. MORGAX, Springfield, Ohio. 

 "I had the clearest field of Golden Self-blanching Celery last season f,-om 

 your seed, that I ever saw. Scarcely a green plant in seven acres." 



F. J. LOVELL, Hornellsville. N. Y. 

 " Your strain of Golden Self-blanching Celery has proven superior to all 

 others with me for the last five years. Solid and free from hollow stalks. 



H. M. F RAZEE, Manatee. Fla. 



WINTER QUEEN CELERY 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER USE 



PROPERLY STORED, THIS MOST DELICIOUS OF ALL CELERIES MAY 

 BE ENJOYED FROM DECEMBER TO MAY 



Henderson's Winter Queen has been bred from the standard long- 

 keeping Celeni- — Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand 

 improvement. It has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but Uttle 

 labor in earthing up for blanching — and makes heavy, broad and solid 

 heart stalks, free from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and 

 are so crisply tender that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of 

 its own weight. In quality it is not surpassed by any Celery grown, the 

 esteemed "sweet, nutty flavor" being noticed the moment tasted. It is 

 so hardy in constitution that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to 

 rot when trenched for the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime 

 condition. In bunching there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts 

 require but little trimming. We consider this the verj' best type and 

 strain of winter-keeping Celerv in existence. {See cut.) Price, lOc. pkt., 

 40c. oz., $1.25 }>i lb., $4.00 lb. ' 



"Your Winter Queen Celery is remarkable. Mine was damaged some- 

 what by the early snows last November but it kept in my cellar until .April 

 2d, when we ate the last of it." 



F. B. HAMILTON, 920 Gibson St., Scranton. Pa. 



" We have been more than satisfied with your Winter Queen Celery, it is 

 certainly a superior variety and the best keeper we have — trenched in 

 December it keeps well to the 1st of .April — maintaining its fine nutty flavor 

 and briitleness to the last." CHAS. B. POWELL, Burlington, i"(. 



" You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half tlie praise it deserves. 

 It is by far the best-flavored , crispest and longest-keeping Celery I have 

 ever raised." 



CH.iS. H. BUCK. Springjield, .Mass. 



" I have grown some of your Winter Queen Celery and it was the best I 

 have ever seen around here, in fact better than that which is on tlie market. 

 I had Winter Queen Celery tliat measured IS to 20 inches and weighed £{ 

 to 2^ lbs. It is nice and crisp and yot^ do not give the Winter Queen the 

 praise it ought to have. " Mrs. H. DUBBERKE, Schenectady, A". 1"
