Root short prcemorse conical, about twice as long as tliick, very 
regular; well developed samples 2 in. in diameter, 4 in. through the 
axis; skin orange, dark greenish or brown about the neck, which is 
very small, and set in a hollow; surface usually densely and deeply 
striate; tap-root small clearly defined; — foliage very scanty; — flesh 
deep orange yellow, fine grained, and of good quality; — season 
very early. 
Grown chiefly for bunching in the green state; sometimes used for 
forcing, but not sufficiently productive for the general crop. On thin 
soils, however, it often yields as much as the longer varieties.

Root very short prsemorse conical, growing mostly beneath the soil; 
well developed samples 2 in. in diameter, 2 to 3 in. through the axis; 
skin of a half transparent reddish orange, greenish or brown about 
the neck, which is very small, and surrounded by a hollow; surface 
rather densely, often deeply striate; tap root clearly defined, very 
slender, white ; — foliage very scanty; — flesh red, fine-grained, mild, and 
well flavored. 
The earliest variety, and the one most used for forcing, for which its 
small size and scanty foliage especially adapt it. 1

No. 27. GARTEER'S RED HORN, Ben., '83; Vil., '84. 
This appeared to be a strain of the Early Horn, a little larger in 
size, and nearly or quite without core.
