Our sales of seeds and plants of Red, Rose and 
Pink Celeries are steadily increasing as people a e 
bee inning to know that they are unquestionably 
bet er in quality, having a much finer flavor and 
more solid and crisp. They are equally ornamental 
on the table, the delicate tracing of carmine blending 
with the white in the blanched stalks. They are also 
hardier and keep better through the winter. the 
following is a list of the best varieties:

This new variety is an advance in celeries that merits 
more than ordinary praise; it is an intermediate be¬ 
tween white and red celeries, combining the good 
qualities of both. The “ PINK PLUME is practi¬ 
cally identical with our famous “ White Plume, but 
with the added merit of the stalks being exquisitely 
suffused with pink and possessing the crispness, rich 
nutty flavor and long-keepi ng qualities for which red 
celeries are noted. “PINK PLUME is also ie- 
markablv attractive when trimmed for the table. 1 lie 
solid succulent stalks are IVORY-WHITE SUF¬ 
FUSED WITH DAINTY PINK, which not only 
delight the eye but tempt the palate of the epicure. 
Henderson’s New “Pink Plume” Celery is a 
strong, healthy, compact grower, with no tendency to 
rust; stems very solid and crisp, extra early and a 
long keeper, remaining, when properly trenched, in 
perfect condition away into the spring. The variega¬ 
tion on the tops does not show quite as early as the 
“ White Plume,” but the celery blanches and matures 
really a little earlier. It is a self-blanching variety in 
the same sense that “White Plume” and Golden Self¬ 
blanching arc—that is, it requires but a slight earth¬ 
ing up or banking to prepare this variety for the table. 
Wc have introduced into cultivation many new 
vegetables which have become indispensable, but 
never an applicant to the gardening world with more 
confidence in its ability to win a permanent place than

Of the hundreds of letters of praise received about Henderson's “ Pink Plume ’ 
Celery, space only permits us to print the following: 
“I have still ( April 2 Gth) some very fine Pink Plume Celery of last season's growth. I induced my 
customers to try it at my expense, and it was not long before it began to be called for, and nearly all winter I 
supplied our club several pounds each week, and when I refused to sell more there was mourning in that club.” 
“ Your Pink Plume Celery is most captivating, it having a flavor peculiar to itself that is fine. I shall 
want more than a packet another season.” 
“ We had some of your Pink Plume Celery last year and we thought it the nicest Celery we ever raised. 
All who ate it thought it was very tender and of such good flavor, besides its handsome appearance.” 
“ The New Pink Plume introduced by Peter Henderson <6 Co. last spring comes out grandly. There 
is to me a peculiar charm about all pinkish varieties. The color is attractive, while the stalks are usually 
characterized by especial crispness and nutty flavor. 1 think highly of the new introduction. American Gardening. 
‘ ‘ I like your Pink Plume Celery. It has a fine flavor. The look of it almost makes one's mouth water.” 
“ / have found your Pink Plume Celery very satisfactory. January 12 th, 1896." 
“ I have groiun several kinds of Celery for several years and I think the l*ink Plume excels them all in beauty, flavor and 
crispness, and no home garden should be without a few hundred plants of it.”
