(Nicholson.)—The roots vary considerablj^ as regards form and color, being conical, C3'lindri- cal, or globular; red, orange, 3-el- low, or white; and from about 5-b\) cm. long; leaves bright green, hairy. include "pot-herbs" and certain "; The most nutri- tive part is in some cases the tender and more or less thick- ened stem, as with asparagus (Figs. 621, II) and kohlrabi (Fig. 66).

With celery (Figs. 78, 79) the leafstalk is the part employed, while in the cauliflower (Fig. 70) it is the much branched and thickened flower-stalk, together with the innumerable buds which it bears.
