*[’HIS grand new Celery will be heard from in the near future. To Celery experts, we 
^ quickly describe it 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 and 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 naturally white, and 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, will render Hender¬ 
son’s Silver Self-Blanching perhaps the most valuable Celery for the market ever introduced. 
(See cut.) 25c. pkt., 5 pkts. for $1.00. 
“/ enclose you two photographs of your Silver 
Self-Blanching Celery; this Celery has reached 
a height of 28 inches in 5 weeks. The plants 
are all alike, averaging in weight 3 lbs. and over 
each. We have more than we can use ourselves 
and so supplied some to our neighbors, and we 
all say that it is the best, sweetest and tenderest 
Celery ever eaten. My gardener, Wm. Storey, 
has been raising Celery 18 years and says 
Silver Self-Blanching is the best he has ever 
raised or seen.” 
B. KEGAN, Frostburg, Md. 
lt 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 Sf lbs., and half a dozen tipped 
the scales at 14 \ lbs. You cannot speak too 
highly of it.” 
T. HUNT, Ogdensburg, N. Y. 
“ Your new Celery, Silver Self-Blanching, is 
fine. We still ( February 17th, 1904 ) have a 
few stalks in the pit in good order; some of 
them weighed, trimmed, 1\ lbs. each.” 
GEO. BRINER, Columbia, Pa. 
“Your Silver Self-Blanching Celery I found 
last year to be far ahead of White Plume, both 
for earliness and quality.”
