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.
Céleri à 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.
