An excellent strong top variety for bunching. The roots are 

 about 8 inches long, cylindrical in shape, pointed when young 

 but become almost stump rooted at maturity. The flesh is most 

 attractive, deep orange in color. The core is the same color as 

 the flesh, and gives the appearance of having no core at all. 

 We can highly recommend this strain for growers desiring a long 

 bunching Carrot. Season 77 days.
