No. 25. HALF LONG DEEP SCARLET, Thor., '85; Vil. '84. 
Syn. Deep Scarlet Intermediate, VEG. GAE. : Fr., Badis demi-long 
ecarlate, VIL., '84. 
A strain of the Olive-Shaped Scarlet, differing from it in being a 
shade deeper in color, and in having the root more inclined to conical, 
the tap-root being less clearly defined. The skin is deep dull red 
above, scarlet in the lower half, shading to white in the tap-root, 
sometimes a little russet about the neck, which is very small; — flesh 
white, with some translucent rays, tender and mild, and does not 
become hollow as soon as some of the olive shaped radishes. The 
plant is quite hardy, and well suited for open culture.

Scarlet Olive Shaped, Vil., '84: Fr., Badis demi-long rose, VIL. : B. demi- 
long rose (forme d' 'olive), Vil., '84. 
Root oval, often quite irregular, sometimes cylindrical and rounding 
at both ends, growing somewhat above ground; deep carmine red; 
well developed samples about 1 in. in diameter and 2 in. through the 
axis; tap-root white except near its junction with the root; rootlets 
few and slender; neck small; — foliage scanty grayish green, petioles 
sometimes tinged purple above ; — flesh white, with translucent rays, 
tender and mild, but rather soon becomes hollow; — season early. 
The flesh of this variety is called " rose-colored " by Burr, Hender- 
son and White, but it was not so at the Station, nor is it so called by 
Vilmorin.

chassis, Vil. 
Distinguished from the Long Scarlet by its rather shorter and 
brighter colored root, its more scanty foliage, and its greater earliness 
of about 10 days; differences which make it greatly preferred over the 
latter for forcing, for which purpose it is the one most generally 
grown.
