large and compact; should not be sown 
later than June, as it takes from seven 
‘to nine months before it heads. 
Ramperiai. A variety from Frarce,~ 
very similar to the Le Normands, per-

Danver’s Intermediate, 
Requires a sandy loam, well manured the previous year, and deeply spaded up.

roots are small from being crowded too much together.

stump-rooted variety of medium size, 
very early and of fine flavor. Not culti-

Half Long French Scarlet. This 
is the most popular variety, and exten-

for family use. It isa little later than 
the Early Horn, but much larger; bright 
searlet in color, and of fine fiavor. 
Half Long Lue. This is a new va- 
riety from France. It isas early as any 
previously mentioned, but stump-rooted 
and larger. It is very smooth and of a 
fine color.

an old variety; roots long and of deep 
orange color. Itisnot much cultivated

fine as that of the two preceding, kinds. 
Valuable for field culture.

riety from France, which is of cylindri- 
cal shape, very smooth, bright scarlet
