 Henderson's 



Perfected White Plume Celery 



THE MOST WIDELY KNOWN AND POPULAR VARIETY EVER 



INTRODUCED 



BLANCHES QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY. 

 MAY BE USED EARLY IN SEPTEMBER. 



This is the oldest of the self- blanching sorts, and is still immensely 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 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 captivates the most fastidious appetite.

"Our season is short, and only early maturing plants really have a chance. We have been 

 ■eery successful in raising Henderson's n'hite Plume Celery. We have stalks eighteen inchet 

 long, full, and bleached to the very tips." 



Mrs. A. S. KEMPER. Deering, Alaska. 

 "I have taken first premium at York County Fair for two years past with your Celery (White 

 Plume)." 



G. FAHS, R. F. D. No. 9, York, Pa. 

 "We found Henderson's White Plume Celery perfect in germinating. We have grown it 

 for years." 



JACOB NEY, Jr., Siege, Cat 

 " The Celery grown from seed I bought from you last spring is admired by all who have seen 

 and eaten of it. They claim it is the best they have ever eaten." 



Miss BELLE BODDIE, Mountville, Go. 

 "We grew your White Plume Celery last year, and it was certainly fine. We have used 

 your seeds for the past 20 years and hare always found them good." 



PETER de LOOFF & CO., Kalamazoo, Mich. 

 "I 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." 



O. G. BRIA X, Dykmans, N. Y. 

 " Your White Plume Celery that I had last season was good. J do not think there were over 

 one hundred plants in two acres that went to seed." 



WILSON B URR, Broadalbin, N. Y. 



Giant White Solid Celery 



" THE MOST VIGOROUS OF ALL CELERIES 

 Very Tender and Brittle when Blanched 

 Sweet and Nutty in Flavor 



In the adjoining engraving we show a variety of Celery "which 

 has not in recent years received the attention it deserves. Always 

 a fine table Celery we have devoted much effort toward improving 

 it and the stock we now offer shows marked superiority to that of 

 a few years ago. It is a splendid winter Celery, keeps well, and is 

 invaluable to succeed the early kinds. The flavor is excellent, sweet 

 and nutty, the stalks are very brittle, almost without any fibre when 

 blanched. 



Giant White Solid Celery is an exceedingly strong growing var- 

 iety, reaching 24 to 30 inches high, with fleshy, solid, broad, tender 

 stalks which when blanched become ivory white in color. The 

 stalks of this Celery are more largely developed in proportion to the 

 dimensions of the leaves than any other variety, and its habit of 

 growth is very erect. (See engraving.) Price, ioc. pkt., 80c. oz., 

 *2-7S H lb., $10.00 lb.
