HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 
WHITE PLUME CELERY. 
The EARLIEST Variety Grown—Can be Blanched for 
the Table in September—"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 ordi¬ 
nary 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 today than ever and we are fully entitled to name 
it “Henderson’s Perfected White Plume.’’ {See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 lb., $4.00 lb.

“ 7 say with great pleasure, that your White Plume Celery is the best we have 
ever grown; with it we captured first premium at the Kentucky State Fair. 
We grew it to mammoth size and 3 feet in height. ” 
V IT TER BROS., Louisville, Ky. 
"After experience in Celery culture for many years, your White Plume 
was the best we ever had. The stalks were white from root to leaj, and 
when prepared for the table measured 23 inches. Everybody pronounced 
it the most beautiful celery they ever saw." 
T. B. McILWAIN, Napier, Ontario. Can. 
...HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR... 
Golden Self-blanching 
- - CELERY. 
"PHIS grand variety of French origin is be- 
* coming more popular every year, and 
is now one of the most extensively grown 
sorts, both for private use and for 
market. It is not as early as White 
Plume, though it possesses the same 
self-blanching characteristics and 
is of heavier and more compact 
growth, the stalks being thick, 
crisp and brittle, while the hearts 
are large and solid, all blanch¬ 
ing a beautiful waxen-yellow; 
the quality is superb, tender 
and free from stringiness; flavor 
rich and delightful. Our seed is 
grown from a very select strain 
and pronounced by expert celery 
growers as very superior. {See cut.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.00 % 
lb., $7.00 lb. 
‘■7 used your Golden Self Blanching Celery last year 
and my crop was free from hollow stalks, while my neigh¬ 
bors. who used seed from another source, lost nearly their 
entire crops from hollow celery." 
R. J. DALLINGER. Akron, Ohio. 
“ W ecan say with pleasure that your Golden Self-Blanch¬ 
ing Celery is the best celery we have ever had on our table; its 
beautiful, crisp, sweet stalks are relished by our whole family. 
It must be the finest celery grown; at least we do not want 
a better." Mrs. WM. MORGAN , Springfield, Ohio. 
“7 must say one word of praise for your Golden Self- 
Blanching Celery. It is the finest strain I ever grew."
