Henderson's 

 Selected 



Golden 

 Plume 



Early — Self -Blanching 



■JOQ Among the 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 deliriously 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; >/« lb. 

 $10.00; transportation paid. 



Silver Self-Blanching 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1910 

 Thick Pearly White Stalks. Perfect for FamilyUse. Very Early. 



"iAR 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 of the old White 

 Plume, a most desirable blend of the essential qualities of a Self-blanch- 

 ing Celery. The quality is excellent, and it can be used fully one month 

 earlier than the slow-blanching sorts. 

 Price, pkt. 15c.; oz. $1.00; Vi lb. $2.75; lb. $8.00; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Superior 



Golden Self -Blanching 



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



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; Vi lb. 



$4.00; lb. $14.00; transportation paid.

 Three-Plumed 



Henderson's Rosy Plume 



Self-Blanching — Charming Combination of Rose and Gold 



"340 Henderson's Rosy Plume is the result of a cross between 

 Golden Self-blanching and a Red Celery and it is character- 

 ized by the early self-blanching qualities of the former and the sturdiness 

 and delightful piquant flavor of the latter parent.
