HENDERSON’S SELECTED 
HALF-LONG 
DANVERS CARROT 
A handsome half-long, cylin¬ 
drical, stump-rooted Carrot of good 
size and of a rich, dark orange 
color; it grows to a large size, is 
smooth, and the flesh very close in 
texture, with very little core and a 
small tapering tap-root. It is a 
first-class Carrot for all soils; 
under good cultivation it has yielded 
25 to 30 tons per acre with the small¬ 
est length of root of any now grown, 
and is more easily harvested than 
the longer types. Our selected stock 
gives the best of satisfaction. (See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. } 
lb., $1.25 lb. 
“Your strain of Danvers Carrot cannot be 
beaten, and I think it one of the best Carrots 
in existence; fine shape, fine color, fine quality 
and fine yield.” 
A. L. PA YNE, Cold Spring, N.Y.

HENDERSON’S PERFECTED WHITE PLUME CELERY. 
The EARLIEST variety grown—can be blanched for the table in September. “Banking up” not necessary.— —— - - - 
- =Those who never could grow Celery before succeed with HENDERSON’S PERFECTED WHITE PLUME. 
WHITE PLUME CELERY introduced 
by us is now more popular and more largely 
grown than any other variety. People 
who never grew Celery before have no more 
trouble in growing.and blanching Hender¬ 
son’s White Plume Celery ready for the 
table than in growing ordinary garden veg¬ 
etables, for “banking up” is not necessary. 
The peculiarity of this variety is that the 
stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart 
are white naturally, so that by simply 
tying the plant together, or by draw¬ 
ing the soil against it, pressing it 
with the hands and then repeating 
the operation to hold the soil 
already placed against the plant 
in position, the work of blanch¬ 
ing is completed. Henderson’s 
White Plume Celery presents a 
highly ornamental appearance 
on the dinner table, and its 
crisp, succulent stalks and 
delicious flavor are unequalled 
by any vegetable grown. Per¬ 
severing selection for years 
enables us to offer a stock so 
superior that we call it “Hender¬ 
son’s Perfected White Plume.’’

"7 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 .” 
Mrs. FRED. LEUSER, Geneseo, N. Y. 
"I 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.” 
VITTER PROS., 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 pro¬ 
nounced it the most beautiful celery they ever saw.” 
T. B. McILWAIN, Napier, Ontario, Can.
