WITLOEF, A NEW VEGETABLE. 
Those who arc fond of the salad known as Darbe de Capucin, will esteem the VVitloef highly. The 
seed is sown in June, and the roots as required are lifted from the end of October to February. 
They arc then divested of their leaves to within two inches of the ground, planted in a trench 
and covered with 2 or 3 feet of stable litter. As the heat generates, the root throws up from 
the crown a pale green head, resembling a Paris Cos Lettuce , which is eaten as Salad, or 
cooked and served as Seakale 1 0...2 6

The blanched leaves of this plant in Spring make a most delicately flavoured and wholesome salad. The roots 
may also be treated in the same way as recommended for Barbe de Capucin.

CELERY. 
At the Chiswick Gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, good service was done in 1874, by a very 
carefully conducted trial of Celery, in which was elicited the important fact that in this country the really 
distinct typical Celeries do not exceed four in number, and that the multitude of names are either synonymes, or 
represent merely trifling variations. Celeriac, or Turnip rooted Celery, is not included in the above remark, its 
cultivation, we regret to say, being very limited in this country. The examination of the different stocks of Celery 
grown at the trial, showed the importance of caref ul selections ; still it is noteworthy that the best selected stocks of 
Celeries are only presentable at table in proportion to the care bestowed on their cultivation ; trenching the soil and 
heavily manuring are indispensable, and during dry weather abundance of water should be given from time to
