Henderson’s Perfected 
White Plume Celery 
Blanches Quickly and Thoroughly 
May be Used Early in September 
This is the oldest of the self-blanching sorts, and is still immense¬ 
ly popular. It is by far the most attractive of all in appearance, 
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 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., 
$2.00 lb., $7.00 id. 
“We grew your White Plume Celery last year, and it was certainly fine. 
We have used your seeds for the past 20 years and have always found them 
good." PETER de LOOFF is* CO., Park St., Kalamazoo, Mich. 
“1 had the finest crop of Henderson’s White Plume Celery last fall ever 
raised in this section, and so acknowledged by every one who saw it. Had 
plenty of stalks, pure white, two feel long, crisp and elegant.” 
O. G. BRIAN, Dykmans, N. Y. 
“After experience in Celery culture for many years, your While Plume 
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.” 
T. B. McILWAIN, Napier, Ont., Can. 
“ Have always been told that the White Plume Celery was not a good keeping 
variety. We used the last of ours on April 2 d and it was in fine condition, 
flavor as fine as ever. Raised from seed purchased from you last year.” 
Miss KATHERINE GLENN, Linesville, Pa. 
“ Your White Plume Celery that I had last season was good. I do not 
think there were over one hundred plants in two acres that went to seed. ” 
WILSON BURR, Broadalbin, N. Y.

Silver Self-Blanching

Everybody can Grow this Celery and Blanch it too 
This Celery can be grown by any one w-ho has ordinarily good soil. Many people whose knowledge of gardening is limited to a few vege¬ 
tables have not attempted to grow Celery, supposing that it can be grown only by an expert. 
There 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 revolutionized. 
Cultivation by the amateur is now easy and surer to succeed. Indeed, there is an element of success even in partial failure, for though the 
plants may be smaller than when grown by those with greater experience, the quality is likely to be better. 
Silver Self-blanching is a “sport” from the famous Golden Self-blanching, from which it inherits its peculiarly robust habit. ' At the 
same time, it has the perfect whiteness of the old White Plume, a most desirable blend of the essential qualities of a Self-blanching Celery. 
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 either 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 15c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.00 
lb., $7.00 lb. THE BALL CELERY BLEACHER ofTered in the Implement Section of this Catalogue is a new, easy and rapid method of blanching early Celery. 
IT IS PRAISED WHEREVER GROWN 
“ / have purchased your Silver Self-Blanching 
Celery seed for several years and have had success¬ 
ful crops from it.” 
G. G. HARTLEY, Duluth, Minn. 
“Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery is the 
finest I ever grew. ” 
DANIEL LUESING, Hanover, Ont. 
“I had splendid success with the Silver 
Self-Blanching Celery last year. It was pro¬ 
nounced bv all as the most delicious ever eaten. 1 * 
JOHN .4. PEAKE, North Lynn, Conn. 
“Notwithstanding a very bad drought in this 
section, l 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 I 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 H lbs., and half a dozen lipped the 
scales at 14 pf lbs. You cannot speak too highly 
of it.
