PARROTS— OONTINUED 



Improved Long Orange 



The most popular of the older sorts for farm use on 

 mellow soil. An improvement obtained by years of 

 careful selection of the best formed and deepest col- 

 ored roots of the old Long Orange. Roots compar- 

 atively shorter than the Long Orange, and smoother, 

 but so uniform and true that the bulk of the crop wil 

 be greater.

 that longer growing sorts would not thrive in it.
