35. Solid Ivory (Carter). — x\n early variety. Medium size and 

 thickness, crisp, good flavour. A useful early variety, but will not stand 

 much frost. 



36. Superb Pink (Sutton). — A main crop variety of somewhat similar 

 form and character to Nos. 81, 82, 33, standing frost equally well. 



37. Superb White (J. Veitch). — An early variety ; moderate length, 

 thick but rather loose heart, good flavour, severely attacked by " fly." 



38. Standard Bearer, A.M. December 18, 1900 (Carter). — Midseason 

 or late variety ; tall, very thick, solid hearts of first-rate flavour ; outer 

 leaf stalks red, with prominent red ribs, inside tinged with bright pink. 

 Stood both frost and "fly " well. An excellent variety. 



39. Turner's Incomparable White, A.M. December 18, 1907 

 (Nutting). — An early variety ; moderate length, thick, solid heart of 

 excellent flavour. Stood frost well. A very fine early variety. 

 1 Sandringham White ' is synonymous with 1 Turner's Incomparable 

 White,' and as the latter was first in commerce we have used it as the 

 correct name. 



40. White Gem (Sutton). — A very early variety ; short, thick, solid 

 hearts of a crisp, nutty flavour. 



41. 42. White Plume (J. Veitch, Carter).— A pretty ornamental 

 variety with white foliage, but otherwise not worth growing when com- 

 pared with other early varieties. 



43. Williams' Matchless Bed, A.M. December 18, 1907 (J. Veitch).— 

 A main crop or late variety ; tall, thick, solid, very heavy hearts of first- 

 rate flavour ; outer leaf stalks red, inside white tinged with pale red. 

 Stood frost and " fly " well. A splendid variety. 



44. Wright's Grove Giant White (Carter).— A main crop variety ; 

 very tall and coarse in habit, and scarcely worth growing except for 

 cooking purposes. Stood frost well. 



Celekiac. 



45. Giant Prague (Hurst). — Bulbs large and nearly smooth, with 

 moderate foliage* A very good variety. Stood frost fairly well. 



46. Large-rooted (Carter). — Very similar to No. 45. Stood frost 

 fairly well. 



47. Large Smooth, A.M. December 18, 1907 (J. Veitch).— This was 

 the largest rooted and smoothest of all the varieties, with a moderate 

 spread of foliage. 



48. Turnip-rooted (J. Veitch). — Very similar to No. 45. 



We would commend Celeriac to the notice of all for its excellence for 

 use both cooked and as a salad. It is delicious in either way, and very 

 easily grown.
