HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Golden Self- Blanching 



CELERY 



This grand variety of French origin is becoming more 

 popular every year, and is now one of the most extensively 

 grown sorts, both for private use and for market. It is not 

 as early as White Plume, though it possesses the same self- 

 blanching characteristics and is of heavier and more compact 

 growth, the stalks being thick, crisp and brittle, while the 

 hearts are large and solid, all blanching a beautiful waxen- 

 yellow ; the quality is superb, tender and free from stringiness; 

 flavor rich and delightful. Our seed is grown from a very 

 select strain and pronounced by expert Celery growers as 

 very superior. (See cut.) Price, I5c. pkt., $1.50 oz., $5.25 % 

 lb., $20.00 lb. 



"The Golden Self-Blanching Celery which I grow from your seed every year 

 is the best in the market." CHARLES REISS, St. Bernard, Ohio. 



"I must say one word in praise of your Golden Self- Blanching Celery. It 

 is the finest strain I ever had, not a plant in the whole lot that is not true to 

 name. W. H. McCARTHY, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. 



"I used your Golden Self-Blanching Celery Seed last year and found the 

 crop free from hollow stalks while my neighbors who used seed from another 

 source lost nearly their entire crop from hollow Celery." 



R. J. DALLINGER, Akron, Ohio. 



" Your Golden Self- Blanching Celery is the best Celery we have ever had on 

 our table; its beautiful, crisp, sweet stalks are relished by our whole family. 

 It must be the finest Celery grown; at least we do not want a better." 



Mrs. WM. MORGAN, Springfield, Ohio. 



"I had the clearest field of Golden Self-Blanching Celery last season from 

 your seed, that I ever saw. Scarcely a green plant in seven acres." 



P. J. LOVELL, Hornellsville, N. Y. 



WINTER QUEEN CELERY 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER USE 



PROPERLY STORED, THIS MOST DELICIOUS OF ALL CELERIES MAY 

 BE ENJOYED FROM DECEMBER TO MAY 



Henderson's Winter Queen has been bred from the standard long- 

 keeping Celery — -Henderson's Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand 

 improvement. It has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but little 

 labor in earthing up for blanching — and makes heavy, broad and solid 

 heart stalks, free from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and 

 are so crisply tender that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of 

 its own weight. In quality it is not surpassed by any Celery grown, the 

 esteemed "sweet, nutty flavor" being noticed the moment tasted. It is 

 so hardy in constitution that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to 

 rot when trenched for the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime 

 condition. In bunching there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts 

 require but little trimming. We consider this the very 

 best type and strain of winter-keeping Celery in existence. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 }4 lb., $4.00 lb. 



"Your Winter Queen Celery is remarkable. Mine was damaged some- 

 what by the early snows last November but it kept in my cellar until April 

 2d, when we ale the last of it." 



F. B. HAMILTON, 920 Gibson St., Scranton, Pa. 



" We have been more than satisfied with your Winter Queen Celery, it is 

 certainly a superior variety and the best keeper we have — trenched in 

 December it keeps well to the 1st of April — maintaining its fine nutty flavor 

 and brittleness to the last." CHAS. B. POWELL, Burlington, VI. 



" You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half the praise it deserves. 

 It is by far the best-flavored, crispest and longest-keeping Celery I have 

 ever raised." CH.AS. H. BUCK, Springfield, Mass, 



" / have grown some of your Winter Queen Celery and it was the best I 

 have ever seen around here, in fact better than that which is on the market. 

 I had Winter Queen Celery that measured 18 to 20 inches and weighed 2\ 

 to 2\ lbs. It is nice and crisp; you do not give the Winter Queen the 

 praise it ought to have." Mrs. H. DUBBERKE, Scheneotady, N. Y.
