Description of Varieties. 
A. Stems neither self-blanching nor tinted with red. 
No. 1. BOSTON MARKET, Breck, '85; Evt., '85; Fer., '83; Greg., 86; 
Sib., '83; Vil.; Veg. Gar. 
Bather closely allied to the Sandringham, from which it differs in 
being slightly taller and in being more given to suckering. The very 
numerous solid stems blanch nearly white, are of superior quality, and 
keep very well during winter. 
Very popular in the neighborhood of Boston, and in some other 
localities. Quality excellent. 
No. 2. CRAWFORD'S HALF DWARF, Greg., 86. 
Syn. ? Crawford's Half Dwarf Write, Thor. '83, '85 : Early Dwarf Solid 
White (d), White: Henderson's Half Dwarf , Hen., '85 : Fr., Celerie pleine 
blanc (d), VIL. 
Stems of medium length and number, growing erect, entirely solid, 
blanching promptly to a yellowish white, and of superior quality; — 
season somewhat earlier than the Boston Market. 
Very largely grown for the New York market. 
No. 3. CURLED SOLID WHITE, Veg. Gar. 
Syn. Curled?, H. & S., '86: Write Solid Curled, Vil., '84: Fr., Celeri 
pleine blanc frise, Vil., '84: Ger., Weisser krausblattriger, Bleich-Sellerie, 
Vil. : Vollrippiger krausblattriger Sellerie, A. de CI. 
Very distinct from its curled foliage, which is clear, or rather pale 
green, decidedly glossy, with remarkably broad, deeply cut, much 
blistered leaflets, which have undulate, sometimes almost ruffled 
borders, and the segments are more pointed than in most other varie- 
ties. "The stalks are thickish and perfectly solid, and the leaves, 
instead of being bitter, like those of other kinds, have a mild flavor, 
and can be used in salads. This new variety was raised in the neigh- 
borhood of Niorte (Vendee), and began to be distributed about the 
year 1870." Veg. Gar. 
In our experience at the Station this variety appeared somewhat 
difficult to blanch well. 
Correctly figured in Les PI. Pot., p. 74; Veg. Gar., p. 188. 
No. 4. DWARF SOLID WHITE, Veg. Gar. 
Syn. Dwarf Large Ribbed Solid, Vil. : Dwarf Large Bibbed Write Solid, 
Vil., 84: Large Dwarf Solid White, Vil. : Fr., Celeri pleine blanc court d 
grosses cotes, Vil., '84: Ger., Niedriger weisser breitrippiger Sellerie, Vil. : 
Vollrippiger dicker niedriger weisser S., A. de CI.
