SUPERIOR STOCK. 
CELERY. 
'T'HIS grand variety of French origin is becoming 
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, ten¬ 
der and free from stringiness; flavor rich and de¬ 
lightful. Our seed is a very select home-grown 
strain and pronounced by expert Celery growers as 
very superior. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 X lb., $5.00 lb. 
“We can say with pleasure that your Golden Self-Blanching 
Celery is the best Celery we 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 bkter.” 
Mrs. WM. MORGAN, Springfield, Ohio. 
“I 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. BALLINGER, Akron, Ohio. 
"Your Golden Self-Blanching gave us the best satisfaction of 
any Celery we ever grew.” 
W. W. BUCK, Clintonville, Ohio. 
GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 
r T , HIS is now one of the most popular varieties for winter use; 
A properly stored it is perhaps the best keeper outside of the 
Red Celeries. Giant Pascal is of vigorous, sturdy growth, 
making immensely thick and heavy stalks and large heavy 
hearts, all remaining deep green until blanched by earthing- 
up or being stored for winter. It blanches to a cream-yellow, 
when the stalks are extremely brittle, entirely stringless and 
exceedingly crisp; in fact, some 
truckers complain that it can¬ 
not be tied into attractive 
marketable bunches on that 
account, which, although a 
disadvantage from their stand¬ 
point, indicates its high qual¬ 
ity for the private grower; 
flavor surpassingly rich and 
nutty. (See cutf) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 
80c. } lb., $2.75 lb. 
“ Your Giant Pascal Celery took 
the town—or rather, the town took the 
Celery. It was considered the best in 
our market; large, solid, white and 
crisp.” 
CALVIN SMITH, 
Market Gardener, Norwalk, Ct. 
“ I have raised the best Celery I 
ever saw from your Giant Pascal 
Celery seed; it cannot be surpassed.”

HENDERSON’S 
Golden Dwarf Celery. 
EXTRA SELECTED STOCK. 
r T , HIS popular standard long-keeping variety was 
introduced by ourselves; it has a iarge heart 
and solid cylindrical stalks, first green, then golden, 
medium tall. The broad heavy stalks o£e always 
solid to the centre and when stored .In /"'banks,” 
“trenches” or Celery houses, the hearts blanch to a 
beautiful golden hue. In bunching! there is very 
little waste, for the enormous hearts require but 
little trimming. We confidently recommend this 
variety to those who grow Celery for winter use. 
This variety now constitutes the great bulk of main crop Celery 
that is produced in all sections. In the great Celery-growing 
districts of Kalamazoo, Mich., this variety is planted almost to 
the exclusion of all others, except the White Plume, for early. 
Price, 5c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 X ib., $3.50 lb. 
“ You cannot speak too highly of Henderson's Golden Dwarf Celery. I raised 
the finest Celery I ever saw from your seed of this variety; it is the Celery to grow 
for quantity; its quality, too, is of the highest order.” 
SOLON P. POWELL, Findlay, Ohio.
