differing from it very little in other respects. It appears closely allied 
to the Radis rond ecarlate hdtif of Les pi. pot. ; ( Early Deep Scarlet 
Turnip of Veg. Gar).

A strain of the Scarlet Turnip-Rooted, closely resembling the Early 
Scarlet Erfurt. As grown at the Station the two scarcely differed in 
color, but in this strain the plant was a little slower in development, 
and did not become hollow so soon; the flesh was often a little streaked 
with red, and the petioles were more colored than in the Early 
Scarlet Erfurt. It is described as being much deeper in color than the 
Scarlet Turnip-Rooted, but was not strikingly so at the Station. It is 
an excellent forcing radish.

Vil. : Fr., Radis rond rose hatif, VIL., '84. 
A strain of the Scarlet Turnip-Rooted, slightly more oblate, with a 
more slender tap-root, more scanty foliage, and several days earlier in 
maturing. It also becomes hollow sooner than that variety. A 
good forcing radish. 
No. 12. GARNET TURNIP, Land., '84, '85. 
This differed from the Earliest Scarlet Erfurt only in having the 
root very dark red, inclining to black about the neck.
