GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 



CELEKY. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STOCK. 



This 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 

 characteristics 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 pronounced by expert Celery growers as very 

 superior. {See cut.) Price, 16c. pkt, $L00 oz., $3.25 \ lb., 

 S12.00 lb. 



"1 have asgood an advertisement for your SELF BLANCHING CELERY 

 SEED as you could wish for — out of 355 crates of fine celery I only cut one 

 hollow stalk, while some people around here have had one third of their crop 

 thrown out for such cause." CARL A. BAUMEISTER, Sanford, Fla. 



WHITE ROCK CELERY. 



A new and unsurpassed variety for winter use, of very 

 dwarf and vigorous habit with large solid heart, crisp, and 

 tender; blanches quickly after banking to a rich creamy- white 

 color, a most desirable variety for market use. It is a per- 

 fect dwarf strain of Giant Pascal and sure to become popular. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 \ lb., $4.00 lb. 



GIANT PASCAL CELEKY. 



A popular variety for winter use; of vigorous, sturdy growth, making im- 

 mensely 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 stringless and ex- 

 ceedingly crispy flavor rich and nutty. Price, 30c. oz., 90c. \ lb., $3.00 lb. 



WINTER QJJEEN CELERY. 



THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER AND SPRING USE. 



This variety has been bred from the standard long-keeping celery — Hender- 

 son'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 constitution that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable 

 to rot when trenched for the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime con- 

 dition. 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. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. \ lb., $3.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S GOLDEN DWARF 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 always 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 sec- 

 tions. In the great Celery-growing district of Kalamazoo, Mich., it is planted 

 almost to the exclusion of all others. Price, 25c. oz., 75c. J lb., $2.50 lb.
