TABLE CELERIES 



iin 



The varieties of Celeries we illustrate, and to which 



we give extra space are, in our opinion, particularly well 



adapted for cultivation in private gardens. 



Our long experience with this crop gives our opinion 



Nj, more than ordinary value. We strongly urge our 



j^ customers to be guided by our recommendations. We 



"^ have abstained from any exaggeration in the claims 



we make for the respective varieties. They are based 



on the actual experience, not of ourselves alone, but our 



numerous customers in every State of the Union, and 



under a great variety of conditions. 



Self-Blanching Celeries 



This is the name giien to a number of varieties which, 



by reason of their earliness, and the short time required 



fo3 the blanching process, are indispensable for the 



earliest crops. 



Their value is so pronounced that probably 90 per cent, of 



all the Celery marketed in the United States is of this class. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Golden Self- Blanching 



Celery 



Blanches a Beautiful 

 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 and very solid. 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 remain? in use until the 



later winter sorts mature. [See f J engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt..
