PETER HENDERSON & GO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.
Hendekson's Silver Self-Blanching Celery.
White Plume Celery.
The Earliest Variety can be Blanched in
September.
White Plume Celery was introduced by us
years ago, and is now more popular than ever.
There is no trouble in blanching White Plume
for banking up is not necessary when wanted
early. The peculiarity of this variety is that
the stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart
are white naturally, so that it can be blanched
in a few days by simply leaning boards against
it. Though one of the most popular early
sorts if grown similar to late varieties it will
be found a very good keeper, which is not
generally known. Unfortunately, the variety
has always had a tendency to revert to the
old green type, but persevering selection for
years enables us now to offer an almost absolutely pure stock. At the same time
we have been selecting for size until we can now justly claim to have the heaviest
stock offered, with broad, symmetrical ribs. A strain so superior that we felt
justified in calling it " Henderson's Perfected White Plume." (See cut.) Price,
10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 \ lb., $3.50 lb.
" Your Perfected White Plume Celery was the freest from green of any White Plume I ever grew."
SOLON P. POWELL, Findlay, 0.
"I raised your While Plume Celery last year and it was the finest I ever saw — 32 inches high and
very heavy. Some stalks I weighed when ready for market, and they tipped the scales at2\ pounds."
J. D. BAMBERGER, Fort Dodge, Iowa.
"I have been awarded the Gold Medal for my exhibit of Perfected White Plume Celery (grown from
your seeds) at the A.Y. P. Exposition just closed at Seattle, Wash. It may interest you to know that
I purchased the seeds from you." y. HALE, Elma, Wash-
Combines the grand qualities of the two
most popular celeries grown. The sturdy,
solid habit of Golden Self - Blanching.
The exquisite color and earliness of
White Plume. :: :: :: :: ::
This grand Celery is easily described to
Celery experts when we say that it is a
Golden Self-Blanching plant 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 foli-
age 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,
combined with its extreme earliness,
will render Henderson's Silver Self-
Blanching perhaps the most valuable
Celery for the market ever introduced.
