IDEAL HOLLOW-CROWN. This is an unusually 
fine strain with deeply hollowed crowns 
where the leaf-stems join the root-top. 
The shapely, heavy-shouldered 
roots are about 12 inches long 
and smoothly 
taper down to a 
small root. Its 
smooth white 
skin and uni¬ 
form roots 
make it sell 
readily on the market. The flesh is 
fine-grained and tender.

cellent strain is very vigorous, growing short, stiff
