GIANT PASCAL. 



The latest and best vai'iety in cultivation. It de- 

 scended from Golden Self-blanching; attains a height 

 of about two feet, with large, broad, thick, crisp, brit- 

 tle stalks that are entirely stringless. The heart is a 

 rich golden j^ellow and the whole stalk is rich, nutty 

 and unequalled in flavor, being entirely fi'ee from any 

 bitter taste. It bleaches readily and quickly with but 

 slight eai'thing up and is a superior keeper. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. 



A most valuable variety for the home ga r den. Me- 

 dium height, wax> -golden color, solid, crisp and fine 

 nutty flavor. It simply needs a slight hilling up in 

 order to have it bleach perfectly. An excellent keeper. 

 Henderson's Perfected White Plume. 



It is thus described by the inti'oducers: The only 

 true self-hid in(j cvleri/. One of our ni'^st valuable 

 contributions to horticulture. Peoj^le who never grew 

 celery before have no more trouble in growing and 

 blanching Henderson's White Plume Celery ready for 

 the table, than in growing ordinary garden vegetables, 

 for no '-banking up " is necessary. The peculiarity of 



; 1000, $3.00, 



1000, $5.00, except as noted. 



this variety is that the stalk, portions of inner leaves 

 and heart are white, naturally, so that by simply tying 

 the plant tqgether, or by dra » ing the soil against it, 

 pressing it wdththe hands and then repeating the oper- 

 ation to hold the soil already placed against the plant 

 in position, the work of blanching is completed. Hen- 

 derson's White Plume Celery is crisp, succulent and 

 has a delicious nutty flavor." 



HENDERSON'S PINK PLUME. 

 "The most beautiful celery that ever graced a table. 

 Flavor most delicious, crisp and nutty. The first and 

 the last celery that is fit to use. This new variety mer- 

 its more than ordinary praise ; it is an intermediate be- 

 tween white and red celeries, combining the good qual- 

 ities of both. It is practically identical with our 

 ' ' White Plume " but with the added merit of the solid 

 succulent stalks of ivory white being exquisitely suf- 

 fused with pink and possessing the crispness, rich nutty 

 flavor, and long keeping qualities for which red celer- 

 ies are noted. ' Pink Plume,' in addition to its choice 

 'red celery flavor,' is a celery of remarkable attractive- 

 ness when trimmed for the table. It is a strong, 

 healthy compact grower, with no tendency to rust; ex- 

 tra early and long keeper."
