and Brittle e ery Waxen Yellow 
An excellent variety of French origin. This is the 
variety grown largely for market, but it is equally 
valuable for the private garden. 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 brittie, 
the quality is superb, tender and free from stringi- 
@ ness; 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, and remains in use until the later 
See winter sorts mature. Our seed is grown from a very 
eS sclect strain and pronounced by expert Celery growers as 
very superior. (See engraving.) ‘Price, roc. pkt., 1.00 oz.,

a gh last year, quite a number of stalks being over two pounds in weight. They were 
eS very britile, no strings and of fine flavor.”

“Vou may ve interested to know that in our whole crop of fifteen carloads of 
Henderson's Golden Self-Blanching Celtry, we were not able to find enough 
deccm ve stalks to fill even one ane It is grand Celery

Silver Self-Blancising 
Thick, Pearly White Stalks ((elepy Perfect For “amily Use 
EVERYBODY CAN GROW THIS CELERY AND BLANCH IT, TOO 
This Celery can be grown by anyone who has ordinarilyj good soil. Many people 
whose knowledge of gardening is limited to a few eGeumables have not attempted to 
grow Celery, supposing that it can be grown only by =n expert. 
There was a reason for such a belief when all varieties needed special handling. Thirty 
years ago, we introduced the first Self-blanching Celery and since then the improvement 
# in varieties has been so marvelous that the Celery industry has been completely revo- 
* lutionized. Cultivation by the amateur is now easy and surer to. succeed. Indeed, 
" there is an element of success even in partial failure, for though the plants may be smaller 
than when grown by those with greater experience, the quality i is likely to be better. 
Silver Self- blanching is a ‘“‘sport’’ from the famous Golden Self-blanching, from which it 
inherits its peculiarly 1 robust habit. At the same time, it has the perfect whiteness of the old 
White Plume, a most desirable blend of the essential qualities of a Self-blanching Celery. 
It may be blanched very quickly, either by banking with soil, by supporting 12-inch boards on 
edge against the row, or by the use of paper collars sold for that purpose, the object of cither 
method being to exclude the light, which, of course, hastens blanching. The quality is excellent, 
and it can be used fully one month earlier than the slow-blanching sorts. (See engraving.) Price, 
15c. pkt., $1.25 oz., $4.00 14 Ib. 
IT IS PRAISED WHEREVER GROWN 
“*T have purchased your Silver Self-Blanching 
Celery seed for several years and have had suc- 
cessful crops from it.’ 
G. HARTLEY, Duluth, Minn. 
“T had splendid success with the Silver Self- 
Blanching Celery last year. It was pronounced 
by all as the most delicious ever eaten.” 
JOHN A. PEAKE, North Lynn, Conn. 
“Notwithstanding a very bad drought in this 
Section, I have raised from your seeds the finest 
crop of Celery ever grown here. It was the Silver 
Self-Blanching.” 
C, A. BARTHOLOMEW, Oneonta, N. Y. 
“Vour Silver Self-Blanching Celery is the best 
Celery I ever grew. We had some ready for the 
table by July 2d—and in September it was the 
jimest Celery ever seen. Some of the heads 
weighed 334 lbs., and half a dozen lipped the 
scales at 1434 lbs. You cannot speak too highly 
of it.” J. HUNT, Ogdensburg, N. Y.
