ENDEKSON'S 



Silver Self-Blanching Celery 



Combines the grand qualities of the two Most Popular Celeries grown 

 THE STURDY, SOLID HABIT OF 



GOLDEN SELF^BLANCHING 



THE BEAUTIFUL COLORING AND EARLINESS OF 



HENDERSON'S WHITE PLUME 



"THIS grand new Celery we quickly describe to Celery experts, by stating that 

 * it is a Golden Self- Blanching with White Plume coloring; it possesses 

 the robust, sturdy, compact habit of Golden Self-Blanching, the stalks being 

 even thicker, more solid and heavy, with immense solid hearts all brittle, 

 crisp and tender, free from string or pithiness, and of delightfully rich flavor. 

 To these ideal qualities are added the beautiful silvery-white coloring and 

 self-blanching characteristics of White Plume; that is, the foliage is tipped 

 and variegated with white, while the heart, inner stalks and leaves are nat- 

 urally white, so the plants may be easily and quickly blanched by leaning 

 boards on either side of the row, without the necessity of "banking up " This 

 grand combination of merits, including earliness, renders Henderson's 

 Silver Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable Celery ever introduced.

Henderson s Perfected White Plume Celery 



Can be blanched for the table by September, and often by August if sown early "Banking up" not necessary 



\A/HITE PLUME CELERY was introduced by us and is now 

 ' " more popular than ever. The peculiarity of the self- 

 blanching Celeries is that they will blanch naturally without the 

 laborious banking up which is essential to ordinary sorts. It is 

 as easy to grow White Plume Celery as any other vegetable. If the 

 stalks are drawn together when the plant is three-fourths grown 

 and the soil drawn to or pressed around the plant it will soon be 

 fit for use. Boards are soinetimes placed close up to the plants, 

 but the result is not so satisfactory as by contact with the earth. 

 At maturity, the plant is highlj' ornamental. Its ample white 

 heart and variegated leaves present a beautiful appearance. The 

 delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks is unequalled. Our 

 stock of this grand old vegetable is finer to-day than ever and we 

 are fully entitled to name it "Henderson's Perfected White 

 Plume." Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 % lb., $4.00 lb.

 Celery I ever saw." W. N. PITMAN, Pemberton, N. J. 



"After an experience in Celery culture for many years, your White Plume was

 they ever saw." T. B. McILW.ilN, Napiers, Ont., Canada. 



"I was awarded the Gold Medal at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at 

 Seattle, Washington — for my exhibit of Celery which I grew from your Perfected
