and early market. Tops small. Roots bright orange; 6—7 in. long, 1% in.

Rooted. Has the same general root characteristics as Nantes, Stump-Rooted, 
but tops, while not noticeably larger, are stronger and less likely to break at 
the collar in pulling.

used for stock feed. Roots scarlet-orange; broad, blunt, heart-shaped; be- 
come 414—5 in. long; easily harvested.
