Henderson's Golden Dwarf 



With a Heart of Cream and Gold 



33g This popular standard long-keeping 

 variety was introduced by us, and 

 has for many years been planted almost 

 exclusively by the growers of the famous 

 celery-growing district of Kalamazoo, 

 Mich. Golden Dwarf has a large heart 

 and solid, cylindrical stalks, blanching 

 golden yellow. The flavor is very fine, de- 

 liciously crisp and a splendid keeper. (See

LATE 

 VARIETIES 



CELERY 



TURNIP-ROOTED CELERY or 



Henderson's 

 Winter Queen 



The Standard Variety for Winter 

 Keeping 



348 ^ate Celeries require different treat 

 ment from the self-blanching sorts. 

 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.

"/ wish to mention par- 

 ticularly 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 we have 

 ever had, keeping until the 

 month of March in the 

 trench. Rather unusual in 

 'his cold latitude."

Henderson's "Snowball" Celeriac 



(Turnip-rooted Celery) 



350 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 Cel- 

 eriac 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 de- 

 licious nutty celery. Celeriac 

 may be served in a great num- 

 ber 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 foli- 

 age of the Celeriac is also 

 valuable for flavorings, soup. 

 etc. (Sec illustration.)
