Improved Chartier, or Shepherd. Although this American 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 very early, remaining hard and crisp until they reach a diameter of one and

ceding varieties. Roots scarlet rose above, shading into white at the tip. They are long, 
cylindrical for the upper two-thirds, and then gradually taper to the tip. Flesh white, crisp 
and mild flavored. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; \g Lb. 20c; Lb. 00c.
