Icicle. A beautiful waxy white, long roots, gradually 
tapering down from the shoulder which is ¥ginch in ~ 
diameter. The roots are usually 5 to 6 inches long 4 
and have nice bunching tops. This is the earliest of 
the Iong-rooted early summer white sorts. 
Icicle Short-Top Muck Strain. Our strain excels all 
others we have observed. The crisp-as-ice roots are 
remarkably uniform and perfectly shaped. The tops 
in this strain are short and compact but when grown 
on muck soil they reach just the ideal size for easy 
bunching and basketing. This is very popular. 
White Strasburg. The roots are of elongated turnip 
shape, 4 to 6 inches Jong and 2 inches diameter when 
mature, thick at the shoulder and roundly tapering. 
Flesh crisp, solid and fine. This ts one of the best.
