THE 



FAMOUS 



NEW VARIETY 



Hendersons Easy Blanching Celery 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1914 

 GAINING IN POPULAR FAVOR BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS 



Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and Quickest to 

 Blanch. Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping- Quality. The Earliest and 

 the Latest in One Bow. 



332. This splendid Celery was named and introduced by us. It has already 

 taken rank with other vegetables we have introduced, many of which are the 

 standard of merit and have achieved a world-wide reputation. The original 

 stock has been improved under our watchful care and it is today as near per- 

 fection as nature can make it. 



Henderson's Easy Blanching - Celery excels in the qualities that give Self- 

 Blanching Celeries their value; it bleaches earlier and quicker than any of 

 this class. It is the longest keeping variety grown (if put away green), 

 excelling in this respect every other sort. It has proved to be among the most 

 valuable additions we have made to the vegetable gardens of the world, and 

 fit to take rank with the many famous varieties of vegetables with which our 

 name is associated. 



Henderson's Easy Blanching - Celery enables the market grower to command 

 the market over the entire season, and so easily is it grown that the amateur 

 can produce Celery equal in quality to that which formerly could be grown 

 only by skilled men equipped with years of experience. 



The plant is of medium height, of great vigor — having thick, rather than 

 broad, stalks, with shallow ribs. The leaves are slightly, but densely crumpled, 

 distinguishing it from any other variety. Its quality is superb. 



The stalks are tender and brittle, and the flavor extremely spicy and aro- 

 matic. (See engraving. ) 



Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 50c, $1.00 oz., $3.25 % lb., $12.00 lb. 



"I now write.to let you know that your Henderson's Easy Blanching Celery was something 

 wonderful and I think I will raise all Easy Blanching Celery next year, we were getting so many 

 calls for same, but we did not have enough." 



JOHN MUXGER, Slock Yard Station, Denver, Colorado. 

 "I grew your Easy Blanching Celery Seed last year and it was fine. We trenched some and 

 are eating it now in April. Xever ate finer Celery in my life." 



MRS J. E. WEA YER, Dillsburg, Penn. 

 " We had the finest Easy Blanching Celery in the neighborhood. Every stalk of the Snowball 

 Cauliflower had a nice large head." 



MISS MARY A. LEHMAN, Canton, Ohio. 



Henderson's Winter Queen Celery 



The Standard Variety for Winter Keeping 



348. Late Celeries require different treatment from the self-blanching sorts. 

 After a slight banking up in the open ground the plants are put away in deep 

 trenches to blanch. Kept thus in contact with the earth, they acquire a 

 greater degree of tenderness and flavor. 



Winter Queen is a fine selection of Henderson's Golden Dwarf, and has all 

 the qualities which made it popular, plus a larger and fuller heart. It is an 

 excellent variety for a late crop, is very hardy, slow to rot in the trench and 

 is perfect in quality. Price, 15c. pkt., 65c. oz., $2.00 'i \h„ $ti.00 lb.
