LATE 

 VARIETIES 



Henderson's Winter Queen 



The Standard Variety for Winter Keeping 



Late Celeries require different treatment from the self-blanching sortsr 

 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 has 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. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 15c; oz. 80c.; M lb. $2.25; lb. $7 00: transportation paid. 

 "I wish to mention particularly about some Winter Queen Celery that I ordered 

 from you two years ago. The plants made a fine growth and the Celery was certainly 

 the best ux have ever had. keeping until the month of March in the trench. Rather 

 unusual in this cold latitude."

A rapid growing strain of green celery. The side leaves may be used as 

 wanted. Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 35c; H lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; transporta- 

 tion paid. 



A desirable long-keeping green winter Celery; robust 

 healthy stock, about 2 feet high, making broad, thick, 

 stringless stalks and large hearts, all remaining deep green 

 until blanched by earthing-up or by being stored for winter. 

 It blanches to a pearly white when the stalks are extremely 

 brittle, entirely stringless and exceedingly crisp; in fact, some 

 truckers complain that it cannot be tied into attractive market- 

 able bunches on that account, which, although a disadvantage 

 from their standpoint, indicates its high quality for the private 

 grower ; flavor surpassingly rich and nutty. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 65c; % lb. $2.00; lb. $6.00. 



"J had goofl luck with my Giant Pascal Celery. For so large 

 a sort, it is freer from strings than any I ever saw^ It grows to be 

 over 2 feet high and produced magnificent crisp, creamy white 

 bunches. — JOS. M. SCOTT, New Alexandria, Ohio.

Henderson's "Snowball" Celeriac 



(Turnip-rooted Celery) 



358 Celeriac, while one of the most popular vegetables on the European Con- 

 tinent, is regrettably not so well known here. However, when its superior 

 merits and excellence once become fully known, it will be grown in every American 

 home garden. 



Henderson's Snowball Celeriac is a delicious vegetable of easy culture. The seed 

 should be sown outdoors 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.) 



Price, pkt. 20c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00; transportation paid.
