GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING Q|~[ ERY. 

 HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STOCK. 



"T~HIS grand variety of French origin is becoming more popular 

 every year and is- now one of the most extensively grown sorts, 

 both for private use and for market. It is as early as White Plume, 

 and possesses the same self-blanching characteristics and is of heavier 

 and more compact growth, the stalks being thick, crisp and brittle 

 while the hearts are large and solid, all blanching a beautiful waxen- 

 yellow; the quality is superb, tender and free from stringiness; flavor 

 rich and delightful. Our seed is grown from a very select strain and 

 pronounced bv expert Celerv growers as very superior. (See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 80c. oz., $2.50 | lb., S9.00 lb. 



"1 have as good an advertisement for your SELF BLANCHING CELERY SEED 

 as you could wish for — out of 355 crates of fine celery I only cut one hollow stalk, wkile some 

 people around here hare had one-third of their crop thrown out for such cause.'' 



CARL A. BALMEISTER, Sanford. Fla . 

 "Your strain of Golden Self Blanching Celery has proven superior to all others for the 

 last five years." 



H. M. FRAZEE, Manatee, Fla. 

 "My sons. C. L. Rhodes, had 20 acres of Golden Self Blanching Celery from your seed . 

 L. H . Rhodes had 7 acres and part of mine was from your seed. Not a hollow Celery from 

 Henderson's Seed — the other is nearly all hollow." 



W. S. RHODES, Kent, Ohio. 



WHITE ROCK CELERY. 



A new and unsurpassed variety for winter use, of very dwarf and 

 vigorous habit with large solid heart, crisp, and tender; blanches 

 quickly after banking to a rich creamy-white color, a most desirable 

 variety for market use. It is a perfect dwarf strain of Giant Pascal 

 and sure to become popular. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 | lb., $5.00 lb. 



GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



A POPULAR variety for winter use; of vigorous, sturdy growth, 

 ** making immensely thick and heavy stalks and large heavy hearts, 

 all remaining deep green until blanched by earthing up or being stored 

 for winter. It blanches to a cream-yellow, when the stalks are ex- 

 tremely brittle, entirely stringless and exceedingly crisp; flavor rich 



and nutty.

WINTER QUEEN CELERY.^— 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER AND SPRING USE. 



This variety has been bred from the standard long-keeping celery — 

 Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand improvement. It 

 has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but little labor in earthing 

 up for blanching — and makes heavy, broad and solid heart stalks, free 

 from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and are so crisply tender 

 that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of its own weight. In 

 quality it is not surpassed by any celery grown, the esteemed " sweet, 

 nutty flavor " being noticed the moment tasted. It is so hardy in constitu- 

 tion that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to rot when trenched for 

 the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime condition. In bunching 

 there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts require but little trimming. 

 We consider this the very best type and strain of winter-keeping celerv in 



existence. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 { lb., 



$3.25 lb. 



"You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half the praise it deserves. It 

 is by far the best-flavored, crispesl and longest-keeping Celerv I have ever 

 raised." CHAS. H. BUCK, Springfield, Mass. 



HENDERSON'S GOLDEN DWARF CELERY. 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK. 



This standard winter celery was introduced by ourselves; 

 it has a large heart with solid, fleshy stalks, first green, 

 then golden, medium tall. The broad, heavy stalks are al- 

 ways solid to the centre and when stored in banks, trenches 

 or Celery houses, the hearts blanch to a beautiful golden 

 hue. In bunching there is very little waste, for the encrmous 

 hearts require but little trimming. 



This variety now constitutes the great bulk of main crop 

 Celery in all sections. In the great Celery-growing districts 

 of Kalamazoo, Mich., it is planted almost to the exclusion 

 of all others. Price, 25c. oz., 75c. * lb., $2.50 lb.
