CARTERS' SOLID IVORY CELERY. 
Carters’ Solid Ivory • — One of the most remarkable features of 
Carters' Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit, and beautiful white 
colour. It may be planted upon the surface of the ground instead of in trenches, and 
all that is necessary in the way of earthing up can be done in a very simple manner by 
the hand, or with an ordinary draw-hoe, a little care being taken to bring the stalks 
close together, and thus assist in its complete bleaching. If the heads are also tied 
with a little rough matting, the same as with some Cos Lettuces, it will assist not 
only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to exclude superabundant moisture. As 
the name signifies, Carters’ Solid Ivory Celery has been proved, after repeated 
trials, to be the most solid, crisp-eating, and delicious-flavoured variety in use—the 
peculiar filbert-nut taste being most marked. 
We have records of no less than 53 PRIZES 
awarded this variety during the past three 
seasons in open competition.
