332 '^ i ^ s splendid Celery was named and introduced by us. It has already taken 

 rank with other vegetables we have introduced, many of which are the standard 

 of merit and have achieved a world-wide reputation. The original stock has be ;n 

 improved under our watchful care and it is today as near perfection as nature can 

 make it. ' * 



Easy Blanching Celery excels in the qualities that give Self-Blanching Celeries 

 their value; 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. 



Easy Blanching Celery enables the market grower to command- the market over 

 the entire season, and so easily is it grown that the amateur can produce Celery equal 

 in quality to that which formerly could 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 shallow ribs. The leaves are slightly but densely crumpled, distinguishing 

 ; from any other variety. Its quality is superb. 



The stalks are tender and brittle, and the flavor extremely spicy and aromatic. 

 (See illustration.)

"I now write to let you know that your Henderson's Easy Blanching Celery was some- 

 thing wonderful and I think I will raise all Easy Blanching Celery next year, we .are 

 getting so many calls for same, but we did not hate enough."

Henderson's Superior 



Golden Self -Blanching 



Stalks Thick, Crisp and Brittle. Waxen Yellow. Very Early 



"1AO An excellent variety of French origin. This is the variety grown largely for 

 ■*** market, but it is equally valuable for the private garden. 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. 



Price, pkt. 20c.: 3 pkts. for 50c. ; oz. $1 25: }4 lb $4 00; lb. $14 00; transportation
