HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 
WHITE PLUME CELERY 
The EARLIEST Variety Grown—Can be Blanched 
for the Table in September — “Banking 
Up” not Necessary. 
WHITE PLUME CELERY was intro¬ 
duced 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 to¬ 
gether 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, 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.” {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., 
$1.25 % lb., $4.00 lb. 
“/ raised your White Plume Celery last year and it 
was the best celery I ever raised. I began bleaching it in 
August and it lasted until New Year's—was crisp and 
sweet.” — Mr8. FRED LEUSER, Geneseo, N. Y. 
Henderson’s perfected white plume celery. 
“/ 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.” 
VIT 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 leaf, 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. 
“ Would say your Perfected White Plume Celery is the finest I have

beautiful sight I ever saw.” — W. N. PITTMAN, Pemberton, N. J. 
QOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING .... 
HENDERSON’S 
SUPERIOR STOCK. 
'‘THIS grand variety of French origin is becoming more 
1 popular every year, and is now one of the most ex¬ 
tensively 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. {See. cut.)

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. 
“/ used your Golden Self-Blanching Celery last year and found the crop 
free from hollow stalks, while my neighbors, who used seed from another 
source, lost nearly all their crops from hollow celery.” 
R. J. DALI ANGER, Akron, Ohio. 
“/ have your Golden Self-Blanching Celery SO inches high and 5 inches 
through ; solid and good. In every instance your celery seed has given me 
splendid satisfaction.”—HARRY KING, Tracyton, Wash.
