Golden Self- 
^ Blanching Celery 
Tins grand variety of I'rench 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 
blanching 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.

ZZ!-. White Plume Celery. 
The EARLIEST Variety Gromn—Gan be Blanehed for 
the Table in September —“Banking Up” not fJeeessary. 
WHITE 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 an}'- 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 beauti¬ 
ful appearance. The delicate flavor of its crisp, succu¬ 
lent 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 L lb., 
$4.00 lb.
