Henderson's New 



Silver j> elf=Blanching C elery 



Combines the grand qualities of the two most 

 popular celeries grown. The sturdy, solid habit of 

 Golden Self Blanching. The Exquisite Color and 

 earliness of White Plume. 



THIS grand new Celery will be heard from in the near future. 

 To Celery experts, it is easily described as a 

 Golden Self-Blanching plant 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 and 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 naturally white, and the 

 plants may be easily and quickly blanched by leaning boards 

 on either side of the row, without the necessity of banking 

 up. This, combined with its extreme earliness, will render 

 Henderson's Silver Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable 

 Celery for the market ever introduced. {See cut.) Price, 20c. 

 pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 } lb. 



i " Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery is the best I ever grew. We^had 

 tome ready for the table by July 2d — and in September it was the finest Celery 

 ever seen. Some of the heads weighed 3} lbs., and half a dozen tipped the scales 

 at 14J lbs. You cannot speak too highly of it."

 SUPERIOR STOCK. 



T^HIS 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 as early as White Plume, 

 and possesses the same self-blanching characteris- 

 tics 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 pro- 

 nounced by expert Celery' growers as very superior.

 Celery is the best Celery we ever had on our table; its beautiful, crisp, 

 tweet stalks are relished by our whole family. It must be the finest 

 Celery grown; at least we do not want a better."

 the crop free from hollow stalks, while my neighbors, who used seed 

 from another source, lost nearly all their crops from hollow Celery." 

 R. J. DA LUNGER. Akron. Ohio.

 any Celery we ever grew."
