surface rather thickly striate, side-roots rather numerous, sometimes

medium, spreading; leaves dark, slightly grayish green, very little 
blistered, segments rather numerous and narrow; petioles pale green, 
sometimes tinged purple above, hairy below; flesh white, with numerous 
translucent rays, rather tough and piquant, though less so than the

when sown early it may be used as a summer or autumn variety.
