EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



Golden Plume Celery 



Early — Self-Blanching — Delicious 

 Enchantingly Attractive When Served Crisp, Succulent and Highly Flavored 



839. With the introduction of Henderson's Easy Blanching 

 Celery in 1914, we had the honor of placing before the Amer- 

 ican public a superior medium early celery, that up to this 

 period has not been excelled. Since then, our efforts were 

 directed to the perfection of a superior early sort, and this 

 year we have the pleasure of offering to our friends the 

 grandest, early golden celery that the world has ever seen. 



Henderson's Selected Golden Plume Celery 

 Among the reports received by us from growers to whom 



we sent samples of this new 

 variety for trial, one says: 

 "It is a glorified and per- 

 fected celery of the Golden 

 Self-Blanching type, but far 

 superior to that old variety." 



Henderson's Golden Plume Celery is absolutely the earliest 

 maturing celery grown. It is large, vigorous, and appears to 

 be immune to blight and rust. We highly recommend it to 

 the home gardener on account of its ease of culture — it re- 

 quires no banking — for its attractive appearance, which 

 when fully matured is most inviting; the foliage is creamy 

 yellow, and the stalks creamy white, becoming almost white 

 at the base. It is entirely devoid of any ribs or fibre, and it 

 is brittle, tender, and deliciously flavored. 



Its earliness, vigor, freedom from disease, large size, at- 

 tractive appearance, and high quality, promises to market 

 growers of this new variety a very profitable return. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 25c. pkt., 6 pits, for $1.00; $4.00 oz., $14.00 

 J/i lb., $50.00 lb. 



Silver Self-Blanching Celery 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1910 

 Thick, Pearly White Stalks. Perfect for Family Use. Very Early 



34(5. Many people whose knowledge of gardening is limited to a 

 few vegetables have not attempted to grow Celery, supposing that 

 it can be grown only by an expert. 



Years ago, we introduced the first Self-blanching Celery and 

 since then the improvement in varieties has been so marvelous 

 that the Celery industry has been completely revolutionized. Culti- 

 vation by the amateur is now easy and surer to succeed. 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. 

 The quality is excellent, and it can be used fully one month earlier 

 than the slow-blanching sorts.
