An attractive feature of this variety is that while the other stalks are green, it naturally produces many golden hearts, which are decidedly crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. In addition to these desirable qualities, it is one of the best of the winter-keeping Celeries, and may be allowed to remain in the trench for a long time, and will come out in first-class condition, solid and free from rot.
