An excellent variety of French origin. This is the 
variety grown largely for market, but it is equally 
valuable for the private garden. It is very earl™ 
blanches quickly and its rich color makes it quite 
attractive. The habit of the plant is short and stocky 
the-stalks are broad, thick, very solid, crisp and brittle! 
the quality is superb, tender and free from stringi¬ 
ness; flavor rich and delightful. It develops a large 
heart quite early in its growth, which makes the 
greater part of the plant edible. It is fit for use 
e early in September, and remains in use until the later 
winter sorts mature. Our seed is grown from a very 
select strain and pronounced by expert Celery growers as 
very superior. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., $1.00 oz

Your Golden Self-Blanchin^ and also your Early ' Rose Celeries were fine 
last year, quite a number of stalks being over two pounds in weight. They were 
very brittle, no strings and of fine flavor." 
CHARLES SKEVINGTON, Naugatuck, Conn. 
“ You may be interested to know that in our whole crop of fifteen carloads of 
Henderson's Golden Self-Blanching Celery, we were not able to find enough 
defective stalks to fill even one crate. It is grand Celery."

EVERYBODY CAN GROW THIS CELERY AND BLANCH IT, TOO 
Tins Celery can be grown by anyone who has ordinarilyj good soil. Many people 
whose knowledge of gardening is limited to a few vegetables have not attempted to 
grow ( elery, supposing that it can be grown only by r.n expert. 
I here was a reason for such a belief when all varieties needed special handling. Thirty 
years ago, we introduced the first Self-blanching Celery and since then the improvement 
in varieties has been so marvelous that the Celery industry has been completely revo- 
Cultivation by the amateur is now easy and surer to succeed. Indeed,

it may be blanched very quickly, either by banking with soil, by supporting 12-inch boards on 
edge against the row, or by the use of paper collars sold for that purpose, the object of cither 
method being to exclude the light, which, of course, hastens blanching. The quality is excellent, 
and it can be used fully one month earlier than the slow-blanching sorts. (See engraving.) Price,

N^withstanding a very bad drought in this 
section. I have raised from your seeds the finest 
crop of Celery ever grown here. It was the Silver 
Self-Blanching.” 
C. A. BARTHOLOMEW, Oneonta, N. Y. 
“ Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery is the best 
Celery 1 ever grew. We had some 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 14M lbs. You cannot speak too highly 
of it." J. HUNT, Ogdensburg. N. Y.
