CELERY 



Henderson's 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. 

 (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 \ lb., $4.50 lb. 



"We can say with pleasure that your Golden Self-Blanching 

 Celery is the best Celery we 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 used your Golden Self-Blanching Celery last year and found 

 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. DALL1NGER, Akron, Ohio. 



GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



A poptilar variety for winter use; of vigorous, 

 ** sturdy growth, making immensely thick and 

 heavy stalks and large heavy hearts, all remaining 

 deep green until blanched by earthing up or being 

 stored for winter. It blanches to a cream-yellow, 

 when the stalks are extremely brittle, entirely string- 

 less and exceedingly crisp ; flavor rich and nutty. 

 Price, 25c. oz., 70c. I lb., $2.25 lb. 



WINTER QUEEN CELERY.^— 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER AND SPRING USE. " 



This variety 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 constitu- 

 tion 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., 35c. oz., $1.00 I lb., $3.25 lb. 



HENDEKSON'S= 



GOLDEN DWAKF CELEKY, 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK. 



"THIS standard winter celery was introduced by ourselves; 

 it has a large heart with solid, fleshy stalks, first green, 

 then golden, medium tall. The broad, heavy stalks are al- 

 ways solid to the centre and when stored in banks, trenches 

 or Celery houses, the hearts blanch to a beautiful golden hue. 

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

 require but little trimming. 



This variety now constitutes the great bulk of main crop 

 Celery in all sections. In the great Celery-growing districts 

 of Kalamazoo, Mich., it is planted almost to the exclusion of 

 all others. Price, 25c. oz., 80c. i lb., $2.75 lb. 



"You cannot speak too highly of Henderson's Golden Dwarf Celery. I 

 raised the finest Celery I ever saw from your seed of this variety; it is the Ctlery 

 to grow for quantity; its quality, too, is of the highest order." 



SOLON P. POWELL, Findlay, Ohio.
