Henderson's Perfected 

 White Plume Celery 



Blanches Quickly and Thoroughly 

 May be Used Early in September 



This is the oldest of the self-blanching sorts, and is still immense- 

 ly popular. It is by far the most attractive of all in appearance, 

 and grows so easily that it should find a place in every garden. 

 Under ordinary conditions, and if started early, it may be ready to 

 blanch early in September, and be fit for use a few days later. Its 

 slim, delicately brittle stalks, surmounted with their graceful, 

 ornamental foliage, are unsurpassed from a decorative standpoint, 

 while its delicious flavor and crisp tenderness captivate the most 

 fastidious appetite. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 45c. oz., 

 $1.60 }4 lb., $6.00 lb. 



"We grew your While Plume Celery last year, and it was certainly fine. 

 We have used your seeds for the fast 20 years and have always found them 

 good. " PETER de LOOFF Is- CO., Park St., Kalamazoo, Mich. 



Jan. 6, 1915. 



"J had the finest crop of Henderson's White Plume Celery last fall ever 

 raised in this section, and so acknowledged by every one who saw it. Had 

 plenty of stalks, pure white, two feet long, crisp and elegant." 

 0. G. BRIAN, Dykmans, N. Y. 

 "After experience in Celery culture for many years, your White Plume 

 Celery was the best we ever had. The stalks were white from root to leaf, and 

 when prepared for the table measured twenty-three inches. Everybody said it 

 was the most beautiful Celery they ever saw." 



T. B. McILWAI-N, Napier, Ont., Can. 

 " Have always been told thai the White Plume Celery was not a good keeping 

 variety. We used the last of ours on April 2d and it was in fine condition, 

 flavor as fine as ever. Raised from seed purchased from you last year." 

 Miss KA THERINE GLENN, Linesville, Pa. 

 " Your White Plume Celery that I had last season was good. I do not 

 think there were over one hundred plants in two acres that went to seed." 



WILSON BURR, Broadalbin, N. Y.

Everybody can Grow this Celery and Blanch it too 



This Celery can be grown by any one who has ordinarily good soil. Many people whose knowledge of gardening is limited to a few vege- 

 tables have not attempted to grow Celery, supposing that it can be grown only by an 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 industrj' has been completely revolutionized. 

 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 w^th greater experience, the quality is likely to be better. 



Silver Self-blanching is a "sport" from the famous Golden Self-blanching, from which it inherits its peculiarly 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 either 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., 75c. oz., $2.00 }{ 

 lb., $7.00 lb. THE BALL CELERY BLEACHER offered in the Implement Section of this Catalogue is a new, easy and rapid method of blanching early Celery. 



IT IS PRAISED WHEREVER GROWN 



"/ have purchased your Silver Self-Blanching 

 Celery seed for several years and have had success- 

 ful crops from it." 



G. G. HARTLEY, Duluth. Minn. 



" Your Silver Self- Blanching Celery is the 

 finest I ever grew." 



DANIEL LUESING, Hanover, Ont. 



"I had splendid success with the Silver 

 Self- Blanching Celery last year. It was pro- 

 nounced 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, Oneonla, N. Y. 



" Your 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 

 fittest Celery ever seen. Some of the heads 

 weighed S-K lbs., and half a dozen tipped the 

 scales at liH lbs. You cannot speak too highly 

 of it.
