SUMMARY— The carbohydrate content of celery petioles was determined using paper chromatographic techniques. Sucrose, glucose, fructose and mannitol were identified and quantitatively determined. Mannitol crystals were isolated. Sugars chromatographed with solvents containing boric acid showed characteristic stabilities to indicators.
