An old variety from Flanders, seldom grown in this country, though 
it has merit as a field carrot, as it is rather early, very productive, and 
keeps remarkably well 
Correctly figured in Les pi. pot. p. 67; Veg. Gar., p. 167. 
No. 17. NEW INTERMEDIATE, Hen., '87. 
This appeared to be an improved form of James' Intermediate, grow- 
ing more symmetrical, and deeper in the soil, with a very small neck; 
surface regular, but somewhat striate; side-roots little developed; well 
developed samples 2 in. in diameter, 8 in. long. A very productive 
variety; — season intermediate. 
The cut in Henderson's catalogue for 1887 represents the form cor- 
rectly, but the surface is not so smooth as indicated.

has now been a good while in very general cultivation, it has under- 
gone a considerable amount of modification, in consequence of which 
it exhibits at the present day numerous diversities of character, in 
different districts. * * * * Up to the present time, this is 
the most extensively cultivated variety in England, both in fields and 
gardens." Veg. Gar.
