XXVI.— NOTE ON THE VARIETIES OF 

 CELERY 



OROWN AT CHISWICK IX 1859. 



A collection of 15 samples of Celery was cultivated for com- 

 parative trial at the garden in 1859, and various notes and 

 memoranda concerning the peculiarities of the varieties, as well 

 as their quality, were made ; but the unusually severe and early 

 autumnal frost injured the plants so much that these memoranda 

 could not be satisfactorily completed. It has accordingly been 

 thought desirable to submit a more complete collection to a fuller 

 examination during the present season. 



It may, however, be stated, that so far as the examination was 

 carried, it was found that the variety sent as Ivery's Ne plus ultra, 

 by which name it appears that Iven/s Nonsuch was intended, and 

 another called Hood's Dwarf Red, were the two best of the red 

 kinds, both these being of very excellent quality ; and that a ' 

 dwarf variety, sent under the names of Superb Dwarf White, and 

 Incomparable Dwarf White, was the best of the white kinds. 

 This latter closely resembles the CSleri Court Hdtif of the 

 French. -^
