est and sweetest variety grown. The fiesh is pure white, 
of very fine grain, crisp, juicy, and so mild and sweet 
that it is unsurpassed for eating raw. The skin is light 
yellow. Although of gigantic. size, it has a small top, 
is a fair keeper, and, if allowed to dry thoroughly, will 
stand shipping. Utah Sweet Spanish is more resistant 
to thrips and mildew blight than most varieties.

More Easily Grown Than Celery 
The flavor is somewhat like celery, but 
sweeter, A delicious vegetable which should 
be more largely grown. It is extensively 
used as a.-salad in some parts of Europe, 
and is particularly palatable when served 
boiled, with a cream dressing. Very dis- 
tinct from Sweet Fennel, easily cultivated, 
and matures quickly from seed sown in 
early summer. The thickened bases of the 
leaf-stalks form a bulb-like growth, which 
is blanched by earthing up like celery.
