ing it decidedly scump-rooted. A heavy yielder and attractive in appear¬ 
ance.

long, have sloping shoulders, are smooth, deep rich orange; tapered to a 
semi-blunt end. Flesh rich orange color, e.xtending to center of root with

often reach a diameter of 5 inches, terminating abruptly in a small tap 
root. Flesh bright orange, fine grained and sweet. This variety is espe¬ 
cially desirable for soil so hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would 
not thrive in it. When young, excellent for table use, and when mature 
equally good for stock.
