henderson's perfected 

 White Plume Celeky 



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 

 early 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 captivate the most fastidious 

 appetite. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 45c. oz., $1.60 \i lb., $6.00 lb. 



"We found your White Plume Celery seed perfect in germination." 



JACOB NEY, Jr., Siege, Cal. 



" 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 while, two feet long, crisp and elegant." 0. G. BRIAN, Dykmans, N. Y. 



"After experience in Celery culture for many years, your White Plume Celery 

 was the best we ever had. The stalks were white from root to leaf, and when prepared 

 for the table measured twenty-three inches. Everybody said it was the most beautiful 

 Celery they ever saw." T. B. McILWAIN, Napier, Ont., Can. 



"Have always been told that the White Plume Celery was not a good keeping 

 variety. We used the last of ours on April 2d and it was in fine condition, flavor 

 as fine as ever. Raised from seed purchased from you last year." 



Miss KATHER1NE GLENN, Linesville, Pa. 



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

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



WILSON BURR, Broadalbin, N. Y. 



SELF^BLANCHING CELERIES 



This is the name given to a number 

 of varieties, which by reason of theiry 

 earliness, and the short time 

 required for the blanch- 

 ing process, are indis- 

 pensable for the earliest t 

 crops. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY 



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 and very solid. It develops a large heart quite early 

 in its growth, which makes the 

 greater part of the plant edible. 

 It is fit for use early in Septem- 

 ber, and remains in use until 

 the 'later winter sorts mature. 

 (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., $2.00 

 oz., $7.00 \i lb. 



"Henderson's seeds have given fine 

 results here in Billings. Our Golden 

 Self-blanching Celery, grown from Hen- 

 derson's seed has attracted special atten- 

 tion. Have increased our crop from 

 twenty thousand in 1911 to one hundred 

 thousand in 1913, and will plant a larger 

 crop in 1914 than ever." 



WELLER & CISSEL, 

 R. D. No. 1, Billings, Mon. 

 "Just a few words of esteem regarding 

 your Self-blanching Celery. It certainly 

 was fine, crisp and tender. Every seed 

 must have grown." 



Mrs. H. WHITEHEAD, 



Easton, Pa. 

 " Want to say that this is my fifth 

 successive year in buying of you your 

 superior Golden Self-blanching Celery 

 seed, and each time so far I have had 

 good success, and for that reason I am 

 buying of you again." 



G. J. HAFENDORFER, 



Greeley, Colo. 



Their value is so pronounced 



that probably go per cent, of 



11 the Celery marketed in 



the United States is of 



this class.
