HENDERSON’S 
Winter Queen 
Celery 
The Standard Variety for 
Winter Keeping 
Late Celeries require different 
treatment from the self-blanching 
sorts. After a slight banking up in 
the open ground the plants arc put 
away in deep trenches to blanch. 
Kept thus in contact with the earth, 
they acquire a greater degree of 
tenderness and flavor. 
Winter Queen is a fine selection of 
Henderson’s Golden Dwarf and has 
all the qualities which made it 
popular, plus a larger and fuller 
heart. It is an excellent variety for 
a late crop, is very hardy, slow to 
rot in the trench and is perfect in 
quality. Price, 10c. pkt., 85c. oz., 
$3.00 '/i lb. 
“7 recommend Henderson's Winter 
Queen Celery beyond all others. 1 think

Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and Quickest to Blanch. 
Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping Quality. The Earliest and the Latest in One Row. 
This splendid Celery was named and introduced by us. If has taken rank with other 
vegetables we have introduced, which are the standard of merit today. The original 
stock has been improved under our watchful care and it is today as near perfection as 
nature can make it. 
Henderson’s Easy-Blanching Celery excels in the qualities that give Self-Blanching 
Celeries their value; it bleaches earlier and quicker than any of this class. It is the 
longest keeping variety grown (if put away green), excelling in this respect every other 
sort. It has proved to be among the most valuable additions we have made to the 
vegetable gardens of the world, and fit to take rank with the many famous varieties of 
Vegetables with which our name is associated. 
Henderson’s Easy-Blanching Celery enables the market grower to command the 
market over the entire season, and so easily is it grown, that the amateur can produce 
Celery equal in quality to that which formerly could be grown only by skilled men 
equipped with years of experience. The plant is of medium height, of great vigor— 
having thick rather than broad stalks, with shallow ribs. The leaves are slightly, but 
densely crumpled, distinguishing it from any other variety. Its quality is superb. 
The stalks are tender and brittle, and the flavor extremely spicy and aromatic. (See 
colored illustration on page 10.) 
Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 50c., $2.00 oz., $7.00 34 lb. 
“While most varieties of celery are- difficult to grow in this part of Iowa, Henderson's Easy- 
Blanching Celery has yielded a crop which netted us a profit of $1,000 per acre. The celery was 
of large size, yet it was tender and juicy. Many of the bunches weighed more than that which is 
shown on the scales in the photograph which 1 send herewith.’’

HENDERSON’S PERFECTED 
White Plume Celery 
Can be blanched for the table by September and often by August if sown early 
“Banking up” not necessary 
White Plume Celery was introduced by us and is now more popular than ever. It 
is as easy to grow White Plume Celery as any other vegetable. If the stalks are 
drawn together when the plant is three-fourths grown and the soil drawn to 
or pressed around the plant it will soon be fit for use. Boards 
are sometimes placed close up to the plants, but the 
result is not so satisfactory as by contact with the 
earth. 
F At maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its 
ample white heart arid variegated leaves present a 
beautiful appearance. The delicate flavor of its 
cr : sp; succulent stalks are unequaled. Our stock 
of this grand old vegetable is finer today than 
. ever and we are fully entitled to name it “Henderson’s Perfected White 
jlPlume.” (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 34 lb.
