CELERY , 



Golden Self- Blanching 



Henderson's 

 Superior 



Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen Yellow. Very Early 



342. An excellent variety of French origin. This is the variety 



grown largely for market, but it is equally valuable for the private 



garden. It is very early, blanches quickly and its rich color makes it 



quite attractive. The habit of the plant is short and stocky; the 



stalks are broad, thick, very solid,' crisp and brittle, the quality is 



superb, tender and free from stringiness; flavor rich and delightful. 



It develops a large heart quite early in Us growth, which makes the 



greater part of the plant edible. It is fit for use early in September, 



and remains in use until the later winter sorts mature. Our seed is 



grown from a very select strain. (See engraving.)

Henderson's Rosy Plume 



Self-Blanching — Charming Combination of Rose and Gold 



340. Henderson's Rosy Plume is the result of a cross between Golden Self-blanching 

 and a Red Celery, and it is characterized by the early self-blanching qualities of the 

 former and the sturdiness and delightful piquant flavor of the latter parent. 

 Price, 25c. pkt., 5 pkts, $1.00. 



Henderson's Perfected White Plume 



Can Be Blanched for the Table by August if Sown Early. Banking Up Not Necessary 



350. White Plume Celery was introduced by us and is now more popular than ever. It is as 



easy to grow White Plume Celery as any other vegetable. If the stalks are drawn together 



when the plant is three-fourths grown and the soil drawn to or pressed around the plant it will 



soon be fit for use, as the stalk portions of the inner leaves and the heart are white naturally. 



At maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample white heart and variegated leaves present 



a beautiful appearance, and the delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks is unequaled. Our stock 



is finer today than ever and we are fully entitled to name it "Henderson's Perfected White Plume."
