Large Sugar, or Hollow Crown. (See cut.) This is the 

 best and most productive variety and is largely grown both in 

 the home garden and for market. The roots, which are white, 

 grow long, and are smooth, tender, sweet and are of excellent 

 flavor. This strain was made by careful selection of roots 

 growing to an ideal shape and having the distinct hollow 

 crown. Our growers have been improving it for some years 

 past, and now have it nearly per feet, the roots growing uni- 

 form in size and shape, making a very attractive appearance 

 and especially desirable for market gardeners' use. Pkt., 5 

 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25.
