SPECIAL LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
CELERY. HENDERSON’S “WHITE PLUME.” 
The introducer of this says: “The 
peculiarity of this new variety is, that 
naturally its stalks and portions of 
its inner leaves and heart are white, so 
that by tying them up with matting, or 
by simply drawing the soil up against 
the plant and pressing it together with 
the hands and again drawing the earth 
up with the plow or hoe, the work of 
blanching will be completed, thus 
avoiding the troublesome process of 
high banking or earthing up with the 
spade, as is required by other varie- 
ties. In addition to this, its eating 
qualities are equal to the very best of 
the older sorts, being crisp, solid, and 
having a decided nutty flavor. It is 
also admirably adapted for table orna- 
mentation.”

CELERY. CRAWFORD’S HALF-DWARF. 
This variety, also known as Henderson’s Half-Dwarf, is grown very extensively by the 
Market Gardeners around New York, who give it the preference to all other varieties. It 
is very solid, has a fine nutty flavor, and is a good and vigorous grower. It does not 
tiller or have side shoots like the Boston Market variety, and by some is preferred on that 
account. 
Per Packet, 10 cents. | Per Ounce, 30 cents. 
CELERY. GOLDEN DWARF. 
A very distinct variety, also largely grown by the Market Gardeners around New York 
city for that market. In size and habit it is much like the other Half-Dwarf kinds, except 
that, when blanched the heart, which is large and full, is of a waxy, golden yellow, rendering 
it a most striking and showy variety. It is very solid, of most excellent flavor, and one of the 
very best keepers during winter known. 
Per Packet, 10 cents. I Per Ounce, 30 cents.
