THE THREE PLUMED CELERIES 



All Introduced by Peter Henderson 4 Co. 



Henderson's Selected 



Golden Plume 



Early Maturing — Self-Blanching 



339 Amon 8 tne reports received by us from growers, one says: "It 

 ** is a glorified and perfected celery of the Golden Self-Blanching 



type, but far superior to that old variety." 

 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 gardener 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, becoming 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, 

 promise to market growers of this new variety a very profitable return. (See 

 illustration.) 

 Price, pkt 25c. ; 5 pkts. for $1.00; oz. $3.50; M lb. $10.00; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Perfected White Plume 



Pure White — Delicate Flavor — Crisp and Succulent 



3 SO Wnite Plume Celery was introduced by us and is now more popular than ever. 



J 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 maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample white heart 



and variegated leaves present a beautiful appearance, and the delicate flavor of its crisp, 



succulent stalks is unequaled. Our stock is finer today than ever and we are fully entitled t<> 



name it "Henderson's Perfected White Plume." 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 70c.; H lb. $2.00; lb. $6.00: transportation paid. 



Henderson's Rosy Plume 



Self -Blanching — Charming Combination 

 of Rose and Gold 



"lAfl Henderson's Rosy Plume is the result of a 

 cross between Golden Self-Blanching and a 

 Red Celery and it is characterized by the early self- 

 blanching qualities of the former and the sturdiness 

 and delightful piquant flavor of the latter parent. 

 Price, pkt. 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00: transportation paid.

Silver Self -Blanching 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1910 



Thick Pearly White Stalks. Perfect for Family Use. Very Early. 



"I4.fi Silver Self-blanching is a "sport" from the famous Golden Self-blanching, from "which 

 it inherits its peculiarly robust habit. At the same time, it has the perfect whiteness 

 i>f the old White Plume, a most desirable biend of the essential qualities of a Self-blanching 

 Celery. The quality is excellent, and it can be used fully one month earlier than the slow 

 blanching sorts.
