wh IMPROVED CHARTIER, OR SHEPHERD aithough this Ameri- 
can variety is too strong growing to be used for forcing, it is one of 
the very best for sowing outdoors. The roots come to usable size

one and one-half or two inches and so furnish good roots two or 
three times as long as any of the preceding varieties. Roots scarlet 
rose above, shading into white at the tip. They are long, cylindri- 
cal for the upper two-thirds, and then gradually taper to the tip.
