WINTER QUEEN CELERY. 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER USE. 



PROPERLY STORED, THIS MOST DELICIOUS OF ALL CELERIES MAY 

 BE ENJOYED FROM DECEMBER TO MAY. 



Henderson's Winter Queen has been bred from the standard long- 

 keeping celery — Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand 

 improvement. It has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but little 

 labor in earthing up for blanching — and makes heavy, broad and solid 

 heart stalks, free from pith and string, which blanch" creamy-white and 

 are so crisply tender that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of 

 its own weight. In quality it is not surpassed by any celery grown, the 

 esteemed "sweet, nutty flavor" being noticed the moment tasted. It is 

 so hardy in constitution that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to 

 rot when trenched for the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime 

 condition. In bunching there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts 

 require but little trimming. We consider this the very' best type and 

 strain of winter-keeping celery in existence. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 40c. oz., $1.25 }4 lb., $4.00 lb." 



" You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half the praise it deserves. It is by far the 

 best-flavored, crispest and longest-keeping Celery I have ever raised." 



CHAS. H. BUCK, Springfield, Mass. 



"I have grown some of your Winter Queen Celery and it was the best I 

 have ever seen around here, in fact better than that which is on the market. 

 I had Winter Queen Celery that measured 18 to SO inches and weighed Z\ 

 to 2% lbs. It is nice and crisp and you do not give the Winter Queen the 

 praise it ought to have." Mrs. H. DUBBERKE, Schenectady, N. Y. 



"I obtained good results from your Winter Queen Celery. From last 

 year's crop have some fine Winter Queen yet." 



McBRlDE HOLT, Graham, N. C. 



"I raised Winter Queen Celery last season and the results far exceeded 

 my expectation." 



Miss EMMA YOCKEY, Taylorville, III. 



Golden Bantam g£? 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN. 



Golden Bantam is a dwarf-growing early variety. The plant 

 attains a height of only 3 to 4 feet, usually bearing two or more 

 ears about 5 inches long to a stalk. These little fat ears are 

 compactly filled with kernels which when ready for the table are 

 cream-yellow, so lusciously sweet, tender and milky that some 

 people claim it "the sweetest corn on earth." Golden Bantam is 

 one of the hardiest corns grown, therefore can be planted earlier 

 with safety than other varieties. This characteristic also adapts 

 it to localities having cool summer weather, a continuous supply 

 being maintained by successive sowings. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pint, 35c. quart, $2.00 peck. 



HENDERSON'S SWEET CORN 



POCAHONTAS. 



POSITIVELY THE EARLIEST VARIETY GROWN. 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn is positively 3 days earlier than any 

 other sweet corn grown, regardless of the claims for earliness 

 made for some other varieties, for we have proven it so in our 

 trial grounds for two years alongside all other early varieties 

 offered by other houses. 



Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from 

 the White Cob Cory. Its merits in addition to earliness are 

 uniformity of plant to type, constitution and productiveness. 

 The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white 

 kernels of very fine quality for so early a variety. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt.", 40c. qt., $2.50 pk. 



PRAISE FOR POCAHONTAS SWEET COKN. 



" You have all the seedsmen " skinned' 



on Early Sugar Corn in your Pocahontas. 



and 



We pulled our first ears on the 8th of fuly — a week ahead of Minnesota 

 Floracroft Beauty, and 10 days ahead of Extra Early Market — all planted at 

 the same time. These sorts have always been the earliest around here. 



I would like to know of a sugar corn that will beat or equal your Pocahontas in 

 earliness and size of ears."
