may be very profitably cultivated as a field varie- 

 ty, as it yields abundantly, and does not require 

 so deep a soil as most other kinds. 



Long Red Altriiigham, — Similar in form 

 to the Long Orange, but of a bright red color, 

 grooving with the top an inch or two above 

 ground. Flesh, bright and lively, crisp and 

 breaking in its texture ; the heart, in proportion

Loilg" Orauge, — A well-known, standard sort ; roots, long, thickest at 

 near the crown, tapei-ing regularly to a point ; color, deep orange ; suitable for 

 the table, and main field crop. It requires a deep soil, and the plants should

 size. 



Improved Long Orange* — An improvement of the*preceding, obtained 

 by careful selection for years, of the best formed and deepest colored roots ;

Large White Belgian. — Grows one-third out of the ground ; root, pure
