Long Orange, and smoother, but 
so uniform and true that the // / YG Yh fea

‘IMPROVED SHORT WHITE 
We think this distinct variety is destined to take first rank asa 
field carrot, owing to its enormous productiveness and its growing 
well out of the ground, making it comparatively easy to harvest. 
Roots one-half long, smooth, very heavy at the shoulder, but 
—z, taper regularly to the point; color light green above ground, 
white below; flesh rich, white, solid, crisp, and of excellent 
flavor. This variety is a real acquisition as a heavy yielding, 
easily harvested, white carrot, and is the best of this class.
