GOLDEN SELF- BLANCHING

stalks in the pit yet ( February 17th) in good order. Some of them 
weighed 1 % lbs." GEORGE BRINER, Columbia, Pa. 
“ Your White Plume Celery, last year was the finest I ever raised. I knew 
almost nothing about celery growing but after all had a fine crop of the best celery 
we ever tasted. Had all we could use from September to the middle of January 
Mrs. A. W. FOSTER, Kansas City, Kan. 
“After an experience in Celery culture for many years, your While Plume was 
the best we ever had. The stalks were white from root to leaf and when prepared 
for the table measured 23 inches. Everybody said it was the most beautiful celery 
they ever saw." T. B. McILWAIN, Napiers, Ont., Canada.

every kind of Celery in my experience .” 
JOHN F. STEVENS, Paterson, N. J. 
“Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery is the best Celery I ever 
grew. We had some ready for the table by July 2d—arid in Sep¬ 
tember it was the finest Celery ever seen. Some of the heads weighed 
3 V\ lbs., and half a dozen tipped the scales at 14% lbs. You can¬ 
not speak loo highly of it. " T. HUNT, Ogdensburg, N. Y.

last year. It was pronounced by all as the most delicious ever 
eaten. JOHN A. PEAKE, North Lyme, Conn. 
HENDERSON’S PERFECTED 
White Plume Celery 
The EARLIEST Variety Grown 
Can be Blanched for the Table in September 
" Banking Up” not Necessary 
\A/IIITE PLUME CELERY was introduced by us and is now 
Y v more popular than ever. The peculiarity of the self¬ 
blanching celeries is that they will blanch naturally without the 
laborious banking up which is essential to ordinary sorts. 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. 
At maturity, the plant is highly ornamental. Its ample white 
heart and variegated leaves present a beautiful appearance. The 
delicate flavor of its crisp, succulent stalks is unequalled. Our 
stock of this grand old vegetable is finer to-day than ever and we 
are fully entitled to name it “Henderson’s Perfected White 
Plume.” (See cut.)

THE BEAUTIFUL COLORING AND EARLINESS OF 
WHITE PLUME 
THUS grand new Celery we quickly describe to Celery experts, by stating that 
1 it is a Golden Self-Blanching with White Plume coloring; it possesses 
the robust, sturdy, compact habit of Golden Self-Blanching, the stalks being 
even thicker, more solid and heavy, with immense solid hearts and all brittle, 
crisp and tender, free from string or pithiness, and of delightfully rich flavor. 
'J o these ideal qualities are added the beautiful silverv-white coloring and 
self-blanching characteristics of White Plume; that is, the foliage is tipped 
and variegated with white, while the heart, inner stalks and leaves are nat¬ 
urally white, and the plants may be easily and 
quickly blanched by leaning boards on either 
side of the row, without the necessity of “bank¬ 
ing up.” This grand combination of merits, 
including earliness, renders Henderson’s Silver 
Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable 
Celery ever introduced. (See cut.) Price, 15c.
