...HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR... 



Golden Self-blanching 



••• ••• CELERY 



"PHIS grand variety of French origin is be 



1 coming more popular ever}" year, and 

 is now one of the most extensively grown 

 sorts, both for private use and for 

 market. It is not as early as White 

 Plume, though it 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 blanch- 

 ing 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 by expert celery 

 growers as very superior. {See cut. )

"/ used your Golden Self-Blanching Celery last year 

 and my crop was free from hollow stalks, while my neigh- 

 bors, who used seed from another source, lost nearly their 

 entire crops from hollow celery." 



R. J. DALL1XGER. Akron. Ohio. 



" We can say with pleasure thai your Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing Celery is the best celery we have ever had on our table: its 

 beautiful, crisp, sweet stalks are relished by our whole family. 

 It must be the finest celery grown; at least we do not want 

 a better." Mrs. WM. MORGAN, Springfield, Ohio. 



'" I must say one word of praise for your Golden Self- 

 Blanching Celery. It is the finest strain I ever grew. " 

 W. H. McCARTHY, Saratoga Springs, X. Y. 



HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



WHITE PLUME CELERY. 



The EARLIEST Variety Grown — Can be Blanched for 

 the Table in September — " Banking Up " not Necessary. 



XA/HITE PLUME CELERY was introduced by us and 

 v " is now more popular than ever. The peculiarity of the 

 self-blanching celeries is that they will blanch naturally 

 without the laborious banking up which is essential to ordi- 

 nary sorts. 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. Boards are 

 sometimes placed close up to the plants, but the result is not 

 so satisfactory as by contact with the earth. 



At maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample 

 white heart and variegated leaves present a beautiful 

 appearance. The delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks 

 is unequalled. Our stock of this grand old vegetable is 

 finer today than ever and we are fully entitled to name 

 it "Henderson's Perfected White Plume." {See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 \i lb., $4.00 lb. 



"7 have been awarded tlie Gold Medal at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo- 

 sition — just closed at Seattle. Washington — for my exhibit of Celery a/1 

 grew from your Perfected White Plume Seed." 



J. H. HALE. Elma. Wash 

 "I raised your White Plume and have the finest celery I ever 

 32 inches high and very heavy. Some stalks when trimmed weighed ^- x t lbs. 

 J. D. BAMBERGER. Fort Dodge. Ioua. 

 " I say with great pleasure, that your White Plume Celery is the best ;. . 

 ever grown; with it we captured first premium at the Kentucky Slate Fair. 

 We grew it to mammoth size and j feet in height." 



VITTER BROS., Louisville, Ky. 

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

 was tlte best we ever had. The stalks were whit root to lee.' 



when prepared for the table measured 23 inches. Everybody pronounced 

 it the most beautiful celery tiiey ever saw."
