H ENDEKSON'S Silver Self-Blanching Celery 
Combines the grand qualities of the two Most Popular Celeries grown 
THE STURDY, SOLID HABIT OF 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING 
THE BEAUTIFUL COLORING AND EARLINESS OF 
HENDERSON'S WHITE PLUME 
T^HIS grand new Celery we quickly describe to Celery experts, by stating that 
* 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 all brittle, 
crisp and tender, free from string or pithiness, and of delightfully rich flavor. 
To these ideal qualities are added the beautiful silvery-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, so the plants may be easily and quickly blanched by leaning 
boards on either side of the row, without the necessity of “banking up ” This 
grand combination of merits, including earliness, renders Henderson’s 
Silver Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable Celery ever introduced.

ahead of While Plume both for earliness and quality." 
JOHN FRANCE, Cornish, N. J. 
“ Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery was fine. I have a few 
stalks in the pit yet (February 17th) in good order. Some of them 
weighed 1)4 lbs.” GEORGE BRINER, Columbia, Pa. 
“ Just a word or two of esteem regarding your Self-Blanching 
Celery. It is the acme of perfection in every particular. I con¬ 
gratulate you on the introduction of such, which surpasses any and 
every kind of Celery in my experience." 
JOHN F. ST EVENS, 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—and in Sep¬ 
tember it was the finest Celery ever seen. Some of the heads weighed 
8% lbs., and half a dozen tipped the scales at 14% lbs. You can¬ 
not speak too 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 
Can be blanched for the table by September, and often by August if sown early "'Banking up” not necessary 
XA/HITE PLUME CELERY was introduced by us and is now 
* * 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.” Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 lb., $4.00 lb. 
WHAT CUSTOMEKS SAY ABOUT IT 
"In regard to your Perfected White Plume Celery, would say it is the finest I 
have ever grown. I had some single plants weighing 5% lbs; the most beautiful 
Celery I ever saw." W. N. PITMAN, Pemberton, N. J. 
"After an experience in Celery culture for many years, your White Plume was 
the best we ever had. The stalks were while 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. 
"I was awarded the Gold Medal at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at 
Seattle, Washington—for my exhibit of Celery which I grew from your Perfected 
While Plume Seed." J. H. HALE, Elma, Wash. 
"I raised your White Plume and have the finest celery I ever saw. It was St
