CELERY 



HENDERSON'S 

 SELECT 



CULTURE — Sow seeds as soon as frost is out of ground, about one-quarter inch deep. When seedlings are 

 four inches high, they should be cut back about one inch and transplanted into well-enriched soil. Set plants six 

 inches apart in rows three feet apart. 



EARLY VARIETIES 



339 GOLDEN PLUME 



(Henderson's) 



The First Early Celery Par Excellence 



Henderson's Golden Plume Celery is absolutely 

 the earliest maturing celery grown. It is large, 

 vigorous, and appears to be immune to blight and 

 rust. We highly recommend it to the home gar- 

 dener on account of its ease of culture — it requires 

 no banking — for its attractive appearance, which 

 when fully matured is most inviting; the foliage is 

 creamy yellow, and the stalks creamy white, becom- 

 ing almost white at the base. It is entirely devoid 

 of any ribs or fibre, and it is brittle, tender and 

 deliciously flavored. Its earliness, vigor, freedom 

 from disease, large size, attractive appearance, and 

 high quality commends it to all growers. (See 

 illustration.)

342 GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 



(Henderson's) 



Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen 

 Yellow. Very Early. 



An excellent variety of French origin. 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 its growth, 

 which makes the greater part of the plant edible. 

 It is fit for use early in September.

 portation paid. 



350 PERFECTED WHITE PLUME 



(Henderson's) 



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 ma- 

 turity the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample 

 white heart and variegated leaves present a beauti- 

 ful appearance, and the delicate flavor of its crisp, 

 succulent stalks is unequaled.

332 EASY BLANCHING 



(Henderson's) 



A Favorite Second-Early Variety 



Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. 

 The Easiest and Quickest to Blanch. Excels 

 All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality. 



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. 



So easily is it grown that the amateur can produce 

 Celery equal in quality to that which formerly cculd 

 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 shal- 

 low ribs. The leaves are slightly crumpled, dis- 

 tinguishing it from any other variety. Its quality is 

 superb. The stalks are tender and brittle, and the 

 flavor extremely spicy and aromatic. (See illus- 

 tration.)

LATE VARIETIES 



347 UTAH 



This celery originated near Salt Lake City and 

 has long been famous in that region because of its 

 very agreeable nutty flavor. It became known to 

 Easterners through being served, wrapped up 

 daintily, on the Pullman Dining Cars. It blanches 

 much more quickly than the ordinary green winter 

 sorts and keeps well for winter use.

348 WINTER QUEEN (Henderson's) 

 The Standard Variety for Winter Keeping 



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 lias 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, pkt., 10c; oz., 80c; M lb., $2.25; trans- 

 portation paid. 



336 GIANT PASCAL 



A desirable, long-keeping, green winter Celery; robust, healthy 

 stock, about 2 feet high, making broad, thick, stringless stalks 

 and large hearts. It blanches to a pearly white and the stalks 

 are extremely brittle, entirely stringless and exceedingly crisp. 

 Flavor surpassingly rich and nutty. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; M lb., $1.50; transportation paid. 



CELERIAC TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY 



CULTURE — Sow the latter part of April, covering seeds one-quarter of an inch 

 Thin out to about one inch apart in the row and transplant into rows one and 

 one-half feet apart and six inches apart in a row. 



358 SNOWBALL (Henderson's) 



It is a delicious vegetable of easy culture. The seed should be sown out- 

 doors early in spring and the plants grown like any ordinary root crop. It 

 requires no banking or blanching. 



The smooth, round, turnip-like roots average three inches across, the flesh 

 is snowy-white, and it has the flavor of a delicious nutty celery. Celeriac 

 may be served in a great number of ways. It is greatly relished in salads 

 and soups, and may also be cooked and served in the same manner as turnips, 

 and the like. The foliage of the Celeriac is also valuable for flavorings, soup, 

 etc. (See illustration.')

338 GOLDEN DWARF (Henderson's) 

 With a Heart of Cream and Gold 



This popular, standard, long-keeping variety 

 was introduced by us 40 years ago and has for 

 many years been planted almost exclusively by 

 the growers of the famous celery-growing district 

 of Kalamazoo, Mich. Golden Dwarf has a large 

 heart and solid, cylindrical stalks, blanching 

 golden yellow. The flavor is very fine, deli- 

 ciously crisp and a splendid keeper.
