y, of a pure white
color, and of the best quality.

It is one of the best sorts for extensive culture for the markets, as it
is also one of the best varieties for small gardens for family use. It
blanches readily; and, with little care, will supply the table, from the
last of September, through most of the winter.

SEYMOUR'S WHITE CHAMPION.

A variety represented as being superior to Seymour's Superb White. The
stalks are broad, flat at the base, and form a compact, well-blanched,
crisp heart.

SHEPHERD'S RED. _Thomp._

Shepherd's Giant Red.

Much like the Manchester Red, but has flatter stems: consequently, it is
more compact, and blanches sooner and more perfectly, than that variety;
to which, for these reasons, it is preferred by growers for competition.

SMALL DUTCH CELERY.

Celeri a couper. _Vil._

Leaf-stems small, hollow, crisp, and succulent; sprouts, or suckers,
abundant. It is seldom blanched; but the leaves are sometimes used for
flavoring soups.

The seeds should be sown thickly, and on level beds. The plants often
resprout after being cut. Not much cultivated.

SUTTON'S WHITE SOLID. _M'Int._

A very large yet solid-growing variety, exceedingly white and crisp.

TURKEY OR PRUSSIAN CELERY.

Giant White. Celeri turc. _Vil._ Turkish Giant Solid.

A remarkably large variety, resembling the Common White Solid.
Leaf-stalks long, large, erect, fleshy, and solid; leaves large, with
rounded serratures, and of a glossy-green color.

It is one of the largest of the White sorts, and is considered superior
to the Common White Solid.

WALL'S WHITE CELERY. _Thomp._

An improved variety of the Italian, esteemed by growers for competition,
where quantity, not quality, is the principal consideration.

WHITE LION'S-PAW CELERY. _M'Int._

Lion's-paw.

A short, broad, flat-stalked variety, of excellent quality; crisp and
white. Its short, flat, spreading habit gave rise to its name.

WHITE SOLID. _Thomp._

Celeri plein, blanc. _Vil._ Fine White Solid.

This variety is of strong and rather tall growth; leaf-stalks generally
solid, but when grown in rich, highly manured soil, they sometimes
become slightly hollow; leaves large, smooth, bright-green; serratures
large and obtuse. It blanches readily, is crisp, of excellent quality,
and comes into use earlier than the Red sorts. It is generally
cultivated in the Northern States, not only on account of its hardiness,
but for its keeping
