TT ENDERSON'S 



pERFeCTED ^fi£ 



MITE f3 LV7UtB. 



Introduced by us several years ago, time has proven it to be one of our 

 most valuable contributions to horticulture. It is a truly self-blanching 

 variety and can be blanched in a few days by simply leaning boards against 

 it It is one of the most popular early sorts, and if grown similar to late 

 varieties will be found a very good ke'eper, which is a very valuable feature 

 mot generally known. 



We have after perseverence in selecting, almost completely rid our stock 

 of the green plants which are so common in this variety. At the fame time 

 we have been selecting for size until now we can justly claim to have the 

 heaviest stock offered ; the ribs are broad and have a symmetry common 

 only in "tfend.rson's Perfected White Plume." Price, iOc. pkt., 30c oz., 

 90c. ilb., $3.00 lb. 



♦&GIA1MT PASCAL.^ 



A grand variety now too well known to need extended description. 

 The stalks are medium in length but very thick, and 1he wbole plant is re- 

 markably heavy. Our stock is unsurpassed in purity, being selected for 

 weight, form, and long ket ping qualities, and we can safely sav there is no 

 finer stock offered to day. (bee cvt.) 5c pkt., 20c. oz. , 60c. i lb., $2. CO lb. 



"Your Giant Pascal Celery took the town— or raiher. the town took the Celery. It was con- 

 sidered the best in our market; huge, solid, whi e and crisp." 



Calvin hMiTH, Market Gardener, Norwalk, Ct. 



Many of the largest and 

 most successful growers 

 In the Untied Slates use 

 Henderson's Celery seed. 



GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. 



This is the beautiful golden yellow sort seen in the markets fiom early autumn un- 

 til mid-winter. It is the most popular early variety, heing truly self-blanc hing, needs 

 aothing but a few boards to blanch it. For this reason it can be planted in iows very 

 dose together, requiring but little soil to aid in blanching. When bin ched, it is the 

 most attractive in appearance of all the celeries. For the past few years, gardeners 

 who have bought their seed indiscriminately have had great difficulty in getting this 

 variety to growsolid, in many instances one-half of the crop would have hollow stalks. 

 This may be due to the seed being grown under improper conditions, and in other cases 

 can be account- d for by climatic conditions. We have taken great care to save only solid, 

 heavy plants for seed and do not hesitate to claim that our stock is solid. The frequent 

 testimony of large growers and our increasing salt s are sufficient pi oofs of our claim. 

 The sup ply of good Golden ISelf-Hlanchinz seed is very scarce this year 

 —beware of the cheap seed. 10c pkt. 40c oz . $1 40 Vlb , *5 00 lb 



"The seed that I received Irom you this spring was very satisfactory, and I 

 was very much pleased with the Golden Seif-Hlanching Celerv. It grew the 

 largest and handsomest Celery I ever saw, and 1 would like some more of the 

 same seed." Thomas Wood, Swansea, Mass. 



HENDERSON'S 

 GOLDEN DWARF. 



This, in common with many stan- 

 dard vegetables, was intro meed by 

 us. There seems to be no end of at- 

 tempts to effect improvements on it. 



However, it stands to-day as it did 

 when first introduced, at the head of 

 all winter varieties, the best late

 ter." Ab 1 huh Craig, Tennent.N.J
