iS Henderson’s Golden Plume Celery 5 
339. With the introduction of Henderson’s Easy Blanching Celery in 1914, we had the 
_ honor of placing before the American public a superior medium early celery, that up to 
this period has not been excelled. Since then, our efforts were directed to the perfection 
of a superior early sort, and this year, we have the pleasure of offering to our friends 
the grandest, early golden celery that. the world has ever seen. 
Among the reports received by us from growers to whom we sent samples of this new 
variety for trial one says: “‘it is a glorified and perfected celery of the Golden Self Blan- 
ching type, but far superior to that old variety.’’ Another one Mr. Ben Manning, 
of Ridgewood, N. J., said, ‘I grew Henderson’s Golden Plume Celery alongside of 
samples received from five other sources. Henderson’s produced 13 % crates on a row 
300 feet long and netted a return of $46.70. The others averaged 11 crates to the row 
and netted $39.00.” 
& 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 recom- 
mend 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 i is |i 
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 deliciously flavored. ; 
2 It’s earliness, vigor, freedom from disease, large size, attractive appearance, and 
i. high quality, promises to market growers of this new variety a very profitable return.

Henderson’s Rosy Plume Celery 
340. Henderson’s Rosy Plume is the result of a cross between Golden Self-blanching 
and a Red Celery and it is characterized by the early self-blanching qualities of the 
former and the sturdiness and delightful piquant flavor of the latter parent. 
The plant i is dwarf and heavy, the stalks are very broad and solid, and are entirely 
free from those objectionable ridges which generally accompany stringiness; indeed 
there is so little string that the stalks are positively brittle. The golden-colored stalks 
are suffused with a warm rosy hue which gradually fades towards the top of the stalks. 
_ The unique combination of color makes3it exquisitely beautiful in appearance, and its 
5 Peon blanching habit insures its earliness whilst its hardiness and solidity bespeak its’ 
ability to keep for a considerable time. 
__ Its appearance is simply superb—a blending of rich golden and deep rose in its heavy 
; waxlike stalks. In flavor it possesses all the richness and crispness of the red varieties 
' with the mildness of the Golden Self-blanching. It is exquisite in flavor. 
_ Price, 20c. pkt., 6 pkts. $1.00. 
_ ss Fgrrectep” White Plume Celery 
350. White Plume Celery was introduced by us and is now more popular than ever. 
_ 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. 
‘At maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample white heart and variegated 
~ leaves ‘present a beautiful appearance. The delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks 
is unequaled. Our stock of this grand old vegetable is finer today than ever and we are 
fully entitled to name it ‘‘Henderson’s Perfected White Plume.’’ 
Price, 15c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 1% Ib., $9.00 lb. 
Henderson’s “Snowball” Celeriac 
Turnip-rooted Celery 
358. Celeriac, while one of the most popular vegetables on the’Kuro- 
pean Continent 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 fee 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, ete.
