Silver Self-BIanching Celery 



COMBINES THE GRAND QUALITIES OF THE 



TWO MOST POPULAR CELERIES GROWN 



THE STURDY, SOLID HABIT OF GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 



The Beautiful Coloring, Self-Blanching Habit and Earliness of WHITE PLUME e^ t^ 



'T'HIS grand new Celery will be heard from in the near future. To Celery experts, we 

 ■'■ quickly describe it bj' 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 and all brittle, 

 crisp and tender, free from string or pithiness, and of delightful 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, -ndthout the necessity of 

 "banking up." This grand combination of merits, including earliness, will render Hender- 

 son's Silver Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable Celerv for the market ever introduced.
