EVERYTHING FOR TIE GAMEH -Vegetable Seeds 
Two World-Famous Celeries THE NEW and THE OLD 
INTRODUCED BY PETER HENDERSON & CO. 
(Illustrated in colors on the opposite page.) 
THE FAMOUS NEW VARIETY 
Henderson’s Easy - Blanching Celery 
GAINING IN POPULAR FAVOR BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS 
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. It 
has already taken rank with other vegetables we have intro¬ 
duced, many of which are the standard of merit and have achieved 
a world-wide reputation. The original stock has been improved 
under our watchful care and it is today as near perfection as 
nature can rhake 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 addi¬ 
tions 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 opposite page.) 
Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 50c., 7 pkts. for $1.00, $2.60 oz., 
$9.00 J4 lb.

Easy-Blanching this season."

Ftb. 2, 1917. SIDNEY WRIGHT, Kingston, Pa. 
THE FAMOUS OLD VARIETY 
Henderson’s Perfected White Plume Celery 
THE MOST WIDELY KNOWN AND POPULAR VARIETY EVER INTRODUCED ^ 
BLANCHES QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY. MAY BE USED EARLY IN SEPTEMBER. 
This is the oldest of the self-blanching sorts, and is still immensely popular. It is by far the most attractive of all in appear¬ 
ance, and grows so easily that it should find a place in every garden. Under ordinary conditions, and if started early, it may be 
ready to blanch early in September, and be fit for use a few days later. Its slim, delicately brittle stalks, surmounted with their 
graceful, ornamental foliage, are unsurpassed from a decorative standpoint, while its delicious flavor and crisp tenderness captivate 
the most fastidious appetite. (See colored illustration on opposite page). Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.00 J4 lb., $7.00 lb. 
"Our season is short, and only early maturing plants really have a chance. 
We have been very successful in raising Henderson's White -Plume Celery. 
We have stalks eighteen inches long, full, and bleached to the very tips." 
Mrs. A. S. KEMPER, Deering, Alaska. 
"I have taken first premium at York County Fair for two years past with 
your Celery (White Plume).”

We hove used your seeds for the past 20 years and have always found them good,” 
PETER de LOOFF & CO., Kalamazoo, Mich.

in this section, and so acknowledged by everyone who saw it. Had plenty of 
stalks, pure white, two feet long, crisp and elegant." 
. . O. G. BRIAN, Dykmans, N. Y.

Celery was the best we ever had. The stalks were white from root to leaf, and 
when prepared for the table measured twenty-three inches. Everybody said it 
was the most beautiful Celery they ever saw." 
, 4 T. B. McILWAIN, Napier, Ont., Can. 
Have always been told that the While Plume Celery was not a good keeping 
variety. We used the last of ours on April 2d and it was in fine condition; 
flavor as fine as ever. Raised from seed purchased from you last year." 
Miss KATHERINE GLENN, Linesville, Pa. 
1 our II lute Plume Celery that I had last seasoti was good. I do not think
