Remarks. 



Celery, although shown in considerable quantity, presented 

 nothing of special interest. The varieties certificated were all 

 of excellent character, solid and good. The White Plume may 

 be noted as distinct, the leaves being considerably variegated, 

 thus giving it an appearance of being much blanched. In point 

 of quality it is inferior to the Dwarf White or Sandringham, 

 White Celeries are, as a rule, inferior to the red varieties. A 

 Dwarf Red Celery of the same character as the Dwarf White, 

 which almost blanches naturally without earthing up, would be 

 a great acquisition.
