HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



Market Growers in All Parts of the United States Give Enthusiastic Praise to 



HENDERSON'S EASY^BLANCHING CELERY. 



•'/ haze never kept Easy Branching Celery later than Christmas. It kept so 

 well up to Christmas this year for me that I am sure that the same planting of 

 Celery would have kept until the middle of January. This was my first Celery 

 planted and I don'! se-, any reason why Easy Blanching Ceier\ would not keep as 

 long as any other Celery if it were planted as late as we plant our late keeping 

 Celery:' PAUL W. GOSSLER.

"Beg to advise that I have received the Celery seed all O K and also wish to state 

 that I hare tried three different stocks of Easy Blanching Celery last year and 

 found your CJery to be .he best of the ,kree. 



"The Celery that we ran in Cetery boards to blanch could not be any nicer. In 

 fact better than we ever raised before. I have some of your Easy Blanching in the 

 trenches' now and it is in good condition Has not startei to decay yet." 

 March 5, 1917. JAMBS DAY IES. Kingston, Pa. 



"I would state that this FaL I trenched some fifty thousand plants of your Easy 

 Blanching variety of Ceiery and did not lose an appreciable quantity. I grew the 

 plants six inches apart in the row, in rows 20 inches apart, heavily mulched with 

 manure and under the Skinner System of irrigation. Under this culture the 

 plants covered the ground solidly by Fall and the hearts had already become well 

 blanched, large and tender. This allowed us, by trenching a little early, to sell 

 large, well blanched stalks d week before Chrislmds and yet what was trenched 

 nearer the time of dangerous frosts was in first class condition Feb. 1st. 



I have Siocked up with the seed in order to satisfy, during the coming year, the 

 steady and growing demand that I found myself unable to cope with this year.

A PRIVATE GARDENER ADDS HIS TESTIMONY 

 "1 took first prize at the Tarrytown Horticultural Society's Show this year, for 

 my exhibit of Celery. It was grown from seed of Henderson's Easy-Blanching 

 Celery. The show at Tarrytown is considered the finest along the Hudson river 

 and although the best gardeners dre employed in thii section not one of them could 

 tell whdl kind it wds, but they all look to it at once. It is a clean short, stocky 

 Celery and grown to the height of 18 inches. It has a good solid heart, not a particle 

 of rust, a good nutty flavor, and is as brittle as d pipe stem. I dm digging this 

 Celery now and by the looks of ihings, will be digging some of it next April, 1918."

GOLDEN &1 



BLANCHING 



CELEKY. 



THE STANDARD EARLY YELLOW SORT. 



This variety is still the most popular self-blanching sort. It is 

 grown in enormous quantities and over so wide an area that it is 

 on sale almost every day of the year in all the large eastern 

 markets. We supply market gardeners all over the country and 

 our stock has given universal satisfaction as the testimonials 

 printed below will indicate. It is very scarce again this season, 

 but, notwithstanding its high price, our customers will find our 

 seed cheaper in the end than low priced stocks. (See engraving.) 



Price, $1.50 oz., $4.50 y± lb., $16.00 lb. 



You may be interested to know that in our whole 1915 crop of fifteen carloads taken 

 from ten acres of land we were not able to find enough sports, seeders or hollow stalks 

 to fill one crate, and that the fields hdd not been roughed during the Summer. We 

 would be most pledsed if you could furnish us with seed from the sdme lot thdt our 

 last year's order was taken from. WHITE, WARE &■ WHITE, Batavia, X. Y. 

 My neighbor on market begs me to get for him the same Celery seed (Golden Self 

 Blanching) I had last year. It is true my Celery was the best on market last year. 



ADOLF KXOCK. Lockland. Ohio. 

 The Golden Self Blanching Celery I got from you last fdll Wds the best I ever had. 



T. DREXTH, Route 1. Ridgewood, X. J. 

 We hdve hdd good success with your Golden Self Blanching Celery last year. All 

 the seeds we had from you were very satisfactory.

"I am glad to give you my experience in regard to the keeping quality oj the 

 Easy Blanching Celery. Ldst year it was perfect and kept until long after the 

 holidays in fact as late as March. This year, owing to local conditions, it is short, 

 but very crisp and sweet, and m good condition. It is the best dnd easiest growing 

 Celery I ever used." Mrs. J. L. RBIFSNIDER,

A FEW WORDS BY ONE OF OUR TRAVELLERS 

 "In regard to Easy Blanching Celery sold here (Erie, Pa.) last season same has 

 given the gardeners perfect satisfaction and keeps very well with them but on account 

 of bad weather it has not grown as large and as heavy as in the previous year. I have 

 seeti some of this while they were getting same ready for market and was myself 

 surprised as to its keeping quality. It is fine, has a good heart and very fine Havor

"/ herewith enclose photo of Easy Blanching Celery raised by John Sager of 

 Orchard Park, N. Y., which speaks for itself. This bunch of 12 stalks trimmed 

 for market weighed 23 lbs. and weighed in the rough 40 lbs. He claims it is the best 

 keeping Celery there is except the green varie.y Winter Queen. He marketed his 

 last Easy Blanching Celery last week and said ii was even belter than when he 

 pitted it."

"A few words in regard to Easy Blanching Celery. Mr. L. Weber of Garden- 

 ville, X. Y. has had this variety for the las', two years and again orders it this year. 

 He says that its keeping quality for the last two years has been excellent and he 

 has kept it as late as the middle of March and at that time was just as good as what 

 he marketed before the holidays."
