soil. Regularly planted by many large muck-soil growers.

favorite for early planting outdoors. It is medium sized, nearly 
round, being very slightly flattened on the under side; color is

———— gradually tapering down from the shoulder 
which is about ^inch in diameter. The roots are

— -elongated turnip shape, 4 to 6 
inches long and to 2 inches in diameter when mature, 
thick at the shoulder and roundly tapering. Flesh crisp,
